I have a question about reaction times between men and women.

I want to know if I am writing a story involving a good female swordsman who, in theory, is supposed to be able to take on tough male swordsman.

Myelin builds up very slowly. It's the difference between a baby that can't walk and an adult that has mastered several disciplines. High myelinization can cause signals to travel magnitudes faster along affected pathways, but reaction time really is a different topic. As one ages, reaction time decreases, while myelin can still increase well into someone's 50s.

[@haster613]

Myelin impacts muscle memory i think that is all

If I may add my contribution; I heard from an important nutrition doctor that neurological performance is also very dependent on the overall hydration of the body, and “lubrication”of the brain and nerves, so to speak. He recommends 2 things: - Drinking sufficient amounts of water (so very obvious and yet so often overlooked); - Eating large amounts of good fat: organic oils, ghee, nuts, and animal fat (if animal products are part of your diet). PS: Egg yolks contain a reasonable amount of good fat. Eggs in general have many proteins and vitamins, and are an amazing source of overall nutrition. I eat 4 of them every morning. ✌️ Stay healthy, stay sharp✌️
