What type of training do basketball players need?
As mentioned, basketball requires linear, lateral, and rotational movements. A player must be able to generate speed and power while moving efficiently and maintaining stability. Therefore, personal trainers should develop programs with a focus on stabilization, strength, and power in a multi-planar environment.
What muscles should I train for basketball?
Strengthening your quads, glutes, upper body and core will help build the muscular endurance and strength necessary for the court. Perform two or three strength-training sessions per week to get ready to take it to the hoop.
