What does the Readiness score show?
#product-questions-pison-ready
The Readiness score is based on a simple reaction time test and has become one of the elemental measurements of how quickly and effectively an individual can execute mental operations. Studies have shown that there is a direct correlation between reaction time and athletic performance as well as cognitive abilities.
Factors that improve reaction time include not only repetitive training exercises, but also cardio and weight training, hydration, sleep, and a positive mental state of mind. Conversely, factors that impair reaction times include repetitive hits to the head and diagnosed concussions, the ingestion of drugs and alcohol, brain trauma, fatigue, and cognitive decline from neurological diseases (e.g., dementia, Alzheimer’s Disease, and Parkinson’s Disease).
Consistently measuring reaction time, mental agility (or decision-making), and focus capabilities as part of a cognitive assessment can help athletes continuously improve in multiple facets across every sport and reach new levels of success.
