ENHANCE YOUR

REACTIVE INTELLIGENCE

Understand how BlazePod’s training methodology, using the Pods and app as superior tools, will enhance an athlete’s Reactive Intelligence… Their ability to respond decisively, accurately and quickly to their surroundings.

REACTIVE INTELLIGENCE

Reactive Intelligence is the concept of cognitive agility training to enhance one’s physical and cognitive abilities; such as reaction time, decision making and active thinking. The ultimate goal is to help people recognize a visual stimulus, process the incoming information, and react as quickly and accurately as possible. Making the right decision as fast as possible.

REACTIONS VS REFLEXES

Reflexes are responses that happen instantaneously to external stimuli before the message even reaches our brain, the fastest physical movement in the human body! Reactions are the voluntary responses to external stimuli. Training with BlazePod will train your Reactive Intelligence to respond so much quicker and more efficiently that it feels almost reflexive!

THE PODS AND THE APP

The Pods and app are the tools (product and platform) needed to effectively train with the Flash Reflex methodology and the most efficient way to enhance one’s Reactive Intelligence.

Your brain and body rarely work independently of one another. Every human reacts to stimulus every time they move, train or compete. This process known as Reaction Time involves both the brain and the body working together to recognize, process and react. Reaction Time is the amount of time that takes place between the recognition of something and when we react to it. If you can do this faster and with accuracy you will enhance your personal human performance and ultimately own every scenario.

RECOGNIZE. PROCESS. REACT.

RECOGNITION

is seeing, hearing, or feeling a stimulus. Doing this with certainty is essential.

Example: When the light turns green at the beginning of a drag race, the light is received by the driver’s eyes. (They recognize the visual stimulus)

PROCESSING

is the phase after recognition where the brain interprets the stimulus and decides what it wants the body to do.

Example: The driver, after seeing the light turn green, decides what action to take. (They process the visual stimulus based on the task or goal)

REACTION

is the action that comes as a result of processing.

Example: After the driver processes the stimulus, they press down on the accelerator. (The reaction in response to the stimulus)

These 3-phases (recognize, process, and react), are executed incredibly fast. However a reaction time may vary, based on a variety of internal (physical and/or cognitive) and/ or external (noise, fans, environment) factors.

Reactive Intelligence is the blending of enhanced reactive performance, and cognitive performance. Reactive Intelligence is “Smart Training.”
