Re: Reaction Time
hello,
Reaction time is an inherent ability, but overall response time involves a variety of factors, such as practice, experience, anticipation, strength and coordination. Reaction time can definitely improve, but not by a tremendous amount.

and also this http://www.higher-faster-sports.com/reactiontime.html to see how you can test improvement in reaction time
This is from the sciencebuddies.org and it shows you how to set up the experiment.
