Delaware, March 1, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Psychologists have long known the important role that working memory plays in academics and our daily lives. However, only recently has light been shed on the crucial role that working memory plays in sports. The Qball is perfectly designed to exercise and enhance working memory while also training other core aspects of sports such as hand-eye coordination, reaction times and focus. Working memory is the ability to hold and work with numerous ideas and concepts in the mind simultaneously. A recent study in Sweden found that the better an athlete was at a sport the higher they scored on tests of working memory, suggesting a link between a strong working memory and enhanced sports performance.
Some sports, such as show jumping, are heavily dependent on a strong working memory. Before the competition each rider must walk and memorize a complicated sequence of jumps quickly and accurately. And while each sport varies, memory plays an important role in nearly every sport. The Qball is ideally suited to training and enhancing working memory. Each side of the Qball is imprinted with a different number, ranging from 1 to 10. As an individual bounces the Qball they are encouraged to memorize the number that comes out on top, and periodically stop and recite the sequence of numbers. As they practice, individuals will quickly begin to notice that they can memorize a longer and longer sequence of numbers. While an individual is bouncing the Qball and enhancing their working memory they are also exercising their coordination, reflexes and focus - all extremely important aspects of athletics.

Working memory is what allows individuals to function at a high level and entertain numerous ideas and concepts simultaneously in their mind. It is what permits a quarterback to hold multiple plays in his head all while paying attention to where the receivers are located and what the opposing team is doing. The Qball is the only reaction ball on the market that trains and exercises working memory, leading to improved sport performance and cognitive functioning. It is a fun and engaging tool that can be used anywhere, and by individuals of all skill levels.
