Are there any studies on improving universal reflex speed (as in, not some specific stimulus, but in general)?
What about speed of a specific movement? Or is it just "do it a lot"?
is that floyd

Get some friends to try and punch/or throw shit at your balls at random times. I'm sure you'll improve your reflexes quickly.
>>36530356
When you do that, you are conditioning for a specific movement by strengthening specific neural pathways.
I am talking overall.

I have no idea who the manlet is.
You won't be able to drastically improve your reflexes. You're born with them.
Reflexes are involuntary and therefore cannot be improved unless you have a deficiency of some sort.
What you're talking about is reaction time, but unfortunately, reaction time can only be improved by 10-20%, it's mostly genetic.

Are there any studies showing this and/or showing differences in "overall" reflex speed between people?
I don't even really understand what "reflexes" are in any true sense. First there is the strengthened or not neural pathway. Then there is the slow down if you are conditioned between multiple courses of action and are deciding between them. Then there is the actual CNS signal to the muscles.
Ignoring the first two for aforementioned reasons, I would like to see some studies on the third.
I know /fit/ is shit, but it's worth a try.

This is just straight up wrong. You can be conditioned to react to specific stimuli in a specific manner. This is well known in sports...

Sauce plz.

Yea, I saw those studies. Gonna look at them again now actually. I do remember they said overall.

reflexes depend most on the fat coating on your nerves. get fish oil if you think you might have a deficiency.

>This is just straight up wrong
It's not, a reflex is completely involuntary, you're just not using the correct term, like 99% of the population.
>Scientific use of the term "reflex" refers to a behavior that is mediated via the reflex arc; this does not apply to casual uses of the term "reflex".

You know what I meant.

Plyometrics.

Be relaxed.
>What about speed of a specific movement?
Depends on the movement. Unloaded movement (eg. punching) is different than loaded movement (eg. Oly lifting).
>>36530336
Nah, Floyd can't punch and would clinch all the time.

well, like the guy in your pic, be short
the shorter you are the faster your reflexes
conscious reflexes are also a sign of IQ, so you could have high iq, be very tall, and outreflex a short average smarts dude
so you cant really do much to train your reflexes
