Abstract: The present invention includes a reactive training apparatus and methods of training designed to utilize special physical-preparation means to develop and/or enhance a sport-specific or task-specific motor ability. The reactive training apparatus includes a display which displays target objects and clutter objects. A trainee reacts to these objects in various ways, and these reactions may be recorded and analyzed to improve the trainee's reactions. The present invention may be used to enhance the biomechanical efficiency, reaction time, and accuracy of a trainee.
