Does gaming help reaction time, or do only people with fast reaction times
become top gamers?
Personally, in my experience gaming hurts reaction time. I ask people a
question, and they don't reply for a week or at all, because they're too
busy playing games all day.
I must agree. When you're trying to get the ball away, and 23 stone of
bone and muscle smashes into you, that slows your reaction time. I am
of course referring to the sport of rugby, not that silly "World
Series", which takes part in only one country, where for some reason
unknown to me they wear huge quantities of armour and need oxygen masks
after they've run a few yards. What would happen to the poor little
darlings if they had to spend the entire match on the pitch?
