What are the warm-up exercises for basketball?

Many teenagers like basketball. What are the warm-up exercises for basketball? My son is also a basketball fan. He will play basketball when he is not busy with studies. I am my son’s little fan. Whenever I have time, I will watch my son play basketball. Seeing them play basketball, it seems like I have become younger. I see that everyone does some warm-up exercises before playing basketball. Some of these movements are different. What are the warm-up exercises for basketball? Now I will introduce them in detail.

Jogging warm-up

First of all, warm-up exercises are not a rigid process. Everyone can do it according to their preferences, surrounding conditions and their own conditions. Jogging is a good choice. Running does not require a lot of physical energy. You can run around the playground to warm up your body and get into the state as soon as possible. You just need to feel your body slightly warm or sweating. Especially in winter, it is necessary to get your body running quickly, just like starting a car in winter. Preheating it before exercising can effectively protect the car, and the same goes for our bodies.

Active joints

It is also necessary to do some necessary stretching exercises. You can move your wrists, ankles, knees and hips. These joints are used a lot in basketball, and fully moving them can avoid injuries during sports. Wrist and ankle movements: Spread your legs shoulder-width apart, put the toes of one foot on the ground, and do forward and reverse circles. At the same time, put your hands up and move your wrists in small circles. Try to do as much as possible, then repeat the above movements with the other foot. Knee joint movement: Place your hands on your knees and move in small circles back and forth. Hip joint movement: pinch your waist with both hands and rotate your hip joint forward, backward, left and right.

Shuttle Run

Shuttle runs can also help us get into the game quickly, make our bodies sweat a little, adapt to the sports venue, exercise our leg muscles, and help protect our knee joints.

Ball Sports

First of all, dribble the ball and let yourself find the feeling of the ball. No matter which position you play, guard, forward or center, the feeling of the ball is very important, especially for guard, ball control becomes more important. This allows you to have good coordination and quickly get into the state when playing games or exercising.

Secondly, practice passing the ball with another partner, passing and receiving the ball over and over again, so as to find a good feel and tacit understanding with teammates.

Again, practice shooting and layup. Start with unguarded training. First find your own shooting feeling, make yourself confident, and be able to quickly get into the state during the game. Then practice with defense. For shooting and layup, you can practice in your own way, but the defensive pressure should not be too great, and you should not consume too much physical energy.

Through the introduction above, I have a general understanding of basketball warm-up exercises. In fact, warm-up exercises before playing basketball are very important. If you don’t warm up well, you can’t move your body. You will be prone to injury when playing basketball, and your body can’t perform well. For teenagers, playing basketball can also help them grow taller.
