Well, human body is programmed to have different reaction times in different scenarios. The event that you are accustomed to, you will show better reaction time in those events. Say you are race car driver, then you will have swift reaction times while on the road.
Now you can't have a very quick reaction time all the time, that needs a very active state of mind all the time. Meditation, old Japanese Martial Arts, Unagi, martial arts teach those kind of things too.
A simpler strategy to better your reaction time in sports would be to keep yourself in that particular position a lot many times, and accustom you body and mind according to that. Believe me, human body and mind is great at adapting to new scenarios.

Improving physical fitness, practicing specific tasks, getting enough sleep, and minimizing distractions can help reduce human reaction time. Additionally, training the brain through exercises and cognitive tasks can also improve reaction time.
The error when using a stopwatch in the simple pendulum experiment can vary depending on human reaction time and precision in starting/stopping. Repeating the timing for multiple swings can help reduce random errors and provide a more accurate measurement by averaging out any inconsistencies in reaction time.
A reaction can slow down due to factors such as a decrease in reactant concentration, a decrease in temperature, or the presence of inhibitors that interfere with the reaction mechanism. These factors can reduce the frequency of successful collisions between reactant molecules, thus slowing down the rate of the reaction.
Reaction time is the delay between perceiving a stimulus and initiating a response, like applying the brakes in a car. A faster reaction time reduces reaction distance—the total distance traveled during the reaction time. A slower reaction time results in a longer reaction distance, leading to increased stopping distances.
You should reduce your speed when travelling in fog to allow for increased reaction time in case of obstacles or emergencies, as visibility is reduced. Slower speeds also reduce the chances of collision with other vehicles that may suddenly appear in front of you.
Speeding decreases the driver's reaction time and increases the force of impact during braking. This results in a longer distance required to stop the car.
