Basketball is a team sport characterized by high intensity activities such as jumping, sprinting, shuffling and direction changes. Basketball players’ physical conditioning is focused on enhancing aerobic capacity, speed, agility, muscular strength and power.
Strength training is a fundamental element for the physical conditioning of basketball players. Its purpose is to improve explosive power and acceleration/speed around the court and to reduce the risk of joint and tendon injuries. During the season, resistance training and power training are performed in different periods. Moreover, individual and team development plans optimize the improvement of each player.
Strength training is not just lifting weights. There’s a proper technique to target those muscles for more effective and efficient workouts and to ensure you’re not hurting yourself during workouts that may cause injury. This is why a certified PTS Personal Trainer Specialist is vital for your strength training.
