Abstract: A practical number is a positive integer $n$ such that all positive integers less than $n$ can be written as a sum of distinct divisors of $n$. Leonetti and Sanna proved that, as $xo+infty$, the central binomial coefficient $$ is a practical number for all positive integers $nleqx$ but at most $O(x^{0.88097})$ exceptions. We improve this result by reducing the number of exceptions to $$, where $C>0$ is a constant.
