Hi Alois, 

I have been thinking about using wrist and ankle weights to improve my reaction time, can you please guide me whether I should use them or not

Hi Asad,

They can be slightly useful but not something that I would recommend as they are placing a force in a different direction to what you want to train.  The wrist weights are forcing the arm down whereas you want resistance in a backwards to forwards motion more.
