Stretching to Increase Basketball Performance
By Christine Johnston BA, CSCS, CAT (C)
Stretching plays a vital role in increasing performance in basketball.
It can decrease the risk of injury, increase your range of motion and
prepare your body for the game. There are several different types of
stretching from quick movement stretching which is known as ballistic
or dynamic stretching to a slow hold stretch called static stretching.
How does stretching increase performance? Have you ever reached for a
pass and just missed it and turned over the ball? Have you ever tried
to reach the ball while posting up and lost the ball because you could
not reach the ball? Stretching will increase your flexibility which
will in turn allow you to reach higher for the ball, reach out to the
side for the ball and take larger strides to be able to beat your
opponent to the hoop. Furthermore, stretching will decrease the risk of
injury help recover after a big game.
