Building Stamina and Endurance

Basketball is a fast-paced sport requiring explosive movements, quick changes in direction, and long-lasting stamina. Here’s how to train effectively for endurance:

• High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): Alternate between intense sprints and short rest periods to mimic game conditions.
• Long-Distance Running: Develop a strong aerobic base by incorporating long-distance runs once or twice a week.
• Circuit Training: Combine exercises like jump squats, burpees, and agility ladder drills for a comprehensive endurance workout.
