Get hit, until you don't.

Practice.

Consider joining a gym for wrestling or MMA.

Low doses of amphetamines. Synapses are different in each person. There are credible arguments that some sports stars, like wayne gretzky had incredible reaction times due to his brain wiring and nervous system.

Make up for slower reaction time with muscle memory, it will save you the milliseconds of thinking.

Not sure why I am even responding to this, I just happened to have read an article.

Synapses are not the determining factor. Reaction time slows as we age beceause we lose glial cells. They coat the outside of the axons and speed up the transmission of signals. Like all cells they die and are replaced and the older we are the slower the replacement is while the loss is the same. Anything that increases regeneration will increase glial cells and reaction time.

Yet we age at different rates,

Everyone benefits from exercise.

Prepare for it ahead of time.

Throw the first punch.

The same shit you would do for any anti aging: exercise and eat a healthy diet.

If you want to go into the theoretical and experimental look into increasing stem cells.

When I was busting smugglers I did 400 pushups a day.

My hand speed was off the charts. I was pretty strong too.

Do push ups really help? I do a 100 a day but it seems time consuming to do past that for me

[ - ] con77 1 point 4 monthsDec 7, 2024 15:20:20 ago (+1/-0)

100 is good
400 is a completely different level

I did curls between sets
