Weight Training For Basketball

By Ibrahim Smith


Part of conditioning your body for basketball is figuring out a way to get your muscles strong enough to ensure long games of basketball. By building strength in your legs, arms, back, and all around your body you will help make it easier to run, make shots, use your body to take contact, and overall give you an edge over the competition.

Medicine Ball Wall Throws are one type of common basketball exercise. In addition to helping with your passing, controlling, and catching skills, this exercise helps with hand-eye coordination. To perform this exercise, you will need a medicine ball. Grab the ball and clutch it to your chest as you face the wall. Throw the ball at a specific target on the wall as hard as you can. Be sure your hands are in front of you so you can catch the ball as it comes back toward you. Once you have caught it, continue to repeat these steps.

To find a good book, take the time to read user reviews of basketball books on websites. Then, see if you can sample a book for free. Many books allow you to download or read a portion of a book on their website at no cost. You could also try looking at basketball books at your local library.

Be vigilant to the types of aids that your child enjoys and seems to respond to. If books are preferable, then spend some time finding them quality content that they can benefit from. If your child prefers visual content, there are a number of training videos on basketball that you may be able to subscribe to.

Building muscles through weight training can also help you build strong bones that won't be as prone to injury if you did not strengthen your body. Remember that staying healthy is important when it comes to being an effective player. Avoid overworking yourself but at the same time make sure you put in a good amount of work to condition your body for many minutes of basketball action.

This article has provided you with two exercises to help you with your basketball skills. While playing basketball itself gives you a great workout, these exercises will help you get better results on the court. So, be sure to use them as part of your basketball training regimen.
