The quicker you are, the faster you’ll go

Participants in the UBS Kids Cup can measure their reaction times and compare them with those of professional athletes.

How do athletes train their reaction time?

Try it yourself

To measure your reaction time, try to catch a falling object that another person suddenly drops. You can try the experiment with a banknote, which you have to catch. Whoever is the quickest, gets to keep the money.
