| basketball weight training: Strength Training for Basketball NSCA -National Strength & Conditioning Association, Javair Gillett, William Burgos-Fontanez Jr., 2019-12-11 Why is strength training important for the basketball athlete? In a dynamic game that changes by the instant, athletes need to be conditioned to sustain the highly stressful workloads experienced during practice or a game. For the basketball athlete, that means strength cannot be defined only as a measure of how much weight the person can lift; rather, it is an ability that should be judged by whether it can successfully be applied on the court. Developed with the expertise of the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), Strength Training for Basketball shows you how to design resistance training programs that will develop your athletes’ strength on the court—helping them to jump higher, accelerate faster, and abruptly change direction. The book will help you understand the specific physical demands of each position—point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward, and center. You will also find the following: 20 testing protocols for measuring and assessing athletes’ strength, reactive strength, power, speed, agility, endurance, and anaerobic capacity 18 total body exercises with 2 variations 19 lower body exercises with 3 variations 17 upper body exercises 11 anatomical core exercises with 5 variations 16 sample programs for off-season, preseason, in-season, and postseason resistance training Each resistance training exercise consists of a series of photos and a detailed list of primary muscles trained, beginning position and movement phases, breathing guidelines, modifications and variations, and coaching tips to guide you in selecting the right exercises for a program. You’ll also learn how to structure those programs based on the goals and length of each season and for each position. Backed by the NSCA and the knowledge and experience of successful high school, college, and professional basketball strength and conditioning professionals, Strength Training for Basketball is the authoritative resource for creating basketball-specific resistance training programs to help your athletes optimize their strength and successfully transfer that strength to the basketball court.

This diverse skill set must be supported by multidimensional athleticism. Complete Conditioning for Basketball explains how to achieve just that. Members of the National Basketball Strength & Conditioning Association (NBSCA), the foremost basketball training experts in the world, present this comprehensive, science-based training manual to maximize the physical performance potential of today’s players. With their combined 350 seasons of working with athletes at the college and professional levels, the 14 authors add insights, activities, and plans that optimize results for each player. An entire chapter is devoted to player assessment, with test protocols and accompanying normative scores provided to identify physical deficiencies and establish baseline scores to use for gauging future improvement. These are followed by proven training exercises and drills to improve mobility and flexibility, upper- and lower-body strength, core strength, power and explosiveness, and speed and agility. On-court conditioning activities ensure that the gains made in the training room transfer to game time, preparing players to navigate the court swiftly, explode with power to the basket, and reach rebounds quicker than the opposition. Also included are guidelines and recommendations for nutrition, sleep, and rest to stay fresh and primed for every physical and mental challenge. In the event of an injury, there is invaluable guidance for safely and responsibly returning to training and competition. Plus, you’ll find a complete training program consisting of 16-week off-season strength and conditioning plans—for either three or four days per week—as well as programming guidance for the preseason, in-season, and postseason to make progressive improvements throughout the year.

| basketball weight training: The Invisible Gorilla Christopher Chabris, Daniel Simons, 2011-06-07 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Our minds don’t work the way we think they do. Two renowned psychologists explain how and why our intuitions lead us astray, “[spinning] the plain world [we] know into a wonderment of surprising new insights” (Time). “A must-read for anyone who wants to better understand how the mind works.”—Associated Press In The Invisible Gorilla, Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons, creators of one of psychology’s most famous experiments, use remarkable stories and counterintuitive scientific findings to demonstrate an important truth: We think we see ourselves and the world as they really are, but we’re actually missing a whole lot. Chabris and Simons combine the work of other researchers with their own findings on attention, perception, memory, and reasoning to reveal how faulty intuitions can lead us to make shocking, costly—even life-threatening—mistakes. In the process, they explain: • Why a company would spend billions to launch a product that its own analysts know will fail • Why award-winning movies are full of editing mistakes • What criminals have in common with chess masters • Why measles and other childhood diseases are making a comeback • Why money managers could learn a lot from weather forecasters The Invisible Gorilla reveals the myriad ways that our intuitions can deceive us, but it’s much more than a catalog of human failings. Chabris and Simons explain why we succumb to these everyday illusions and what we can do to inoculate ourselves against their effects. Ultimately, the book provides a kind of x-ray vision into our own minds, making it possible to pierce the veil of illusions that clouds our thoughts and to think clearly for perhaps the first time. |

It moves beyond aesthetics, delving into exercise physiology and biomechanics to explain how strategic program design can unlock athletic potential and build a resilient physique. Interestingly, the book highlights how a deeper understanding of strength training can lead to more effective training programs and reduced injury rates. The book progresses systematically, starting with fundamental concepts such as exercise physiology and program design, then exploring major themes like injury prevention, muscle hypertrophy, and sports performance enhancement. Each section offers specific exercises, techniques, and recovery strategies. A unique aspect of this book is its focus on individualized program creation, providing readers with the knowledge to tailor training to their specific goals and fitness levels, rather than advocating a one-size-fits-all approach. |
