In most games, the Speed at which you can run or the Reaction Time of your muscles plays a very important role on how you perform. Studies have shown that world class sprinters are born, not made; 75 percent of their body muscles are of the 'fast-twitch' type while the top class long distance runners have only 15 percent of 'fast-twitch' muscles. Fast-twitch muscles generate more force in a shorter period of time than slow-twitch muscles, which produce lesser force for a longer time. Hence, to increase speed, we work on whatever 'fast-twitch muscles we have and make them stronger and more efficient. Along with speed, it is also necessary that our Reflexes (or reaction time) be quick to excel in any sport. Hand-eye co-ordination exercises help us improve our reflexes.
