I have always been interested in regeneration, blood flow, how to improve your vertical jump training, basketball conditioning, and recovery methods for basketball players and teams.
One thing we do in euro leagues here is Cryo Chamber freeze-- A deep penetrating cold that goes to negative 160 to 260 and hurts your feelings while you do it.
Sometimes pain and suffering make sense.
Most teams, parents, and aau basketball teams don't have a Cryo chamber, but you can do a lot with a little.
One of my other favorite forms of recovery + regeneration protocols or speed, agility, quickness, even how to improve your vertical jump basketball workouts are through DWR basketball specific training: get DWR, deep water running gear for my workouts, with an aqua jogging belt, where you feet are not touching OR for our explosive workouts where they are...
I use the pool for BASKETBALL WORKOUTS FOR 2 PRO PG reasons--
1.) to recover after hard games and keep my basketball fitness up.
2.) to train explosively with aqua fins, aqua shoes, and high resistance, high intensity style training!
What a grand idea! Train MAX intensity in the water with less pounding, more reps, and fast twitch/high speed training programs!
Basketball players rarely play for more than 1 min straight of MAX 100% intensity, and in Europe actually press, pick up man to man and use more energy disrupting offenses in hopes 24 seconds will be run down.
Which is why recovery is so important, and why a water recovery workout is so beneficial for you: to get the blood flow up, joints moving, full range of motion back, relax and put your spine in a neutral state, and help decrease stiffness. It's the same concept as to why every player and coach should start looking into basketball training and cold baths, recovery suits, and other products that help players train at the highest intensity possible.
But, during the offseason (sometimes in-season when I'm coming back from injuries) I have been able to keep, enhance, and improve speed quickness agility muscular endurance training in the water. Also, I've experimented with basketball recovery tights, which seem to be compression trick (remember RICE= rest, ice, compression, elevation). Everything little thing helps and if you can combine proper hydration, RICE, through these basketball tips, I think you'll be able to consistently out-train your competition.
I've done enough research to know this works, not only with myself, but from reading articles online and streamlining workouts for point guard, basketball specific workouts. Which is why creating basketball workouts that replicate and simulate basketball intensity are so important! (why Jason Otter is one of the best in my opinion...)
So, try this in the pool for recovery basketball workouts: 5 mins light DWR. Keep your back straight and make sure you are getting full range of motion with knees and circular motion as you kick down and thru bringing your heel to your butt.
After 5 minutes, stretch on the side of the pool and return to fart licks or interval running where you increase your running tempo for 20-40 seconds then slow down. Do this for 20 minutes straight and stretch again (then find a nice steam room and throw your legs up on the wall).
No max intensity here. Just recovery training.
Stay tuned for my how to increase your vertical jump thru water basketball workouts... Just one of the many ways to improve your basketball skills or team.
Take care let me know if you have any questions!
