About Strength Training
for Basketball...
Basketball players at all levels know the game
isn't just strategy and tactics anymore. Whether they're crashing the boards
or setting picks, players need strength to contribute to their team's overall
performance. Strength Training for Basketball is a practical workout
manual that shows players how to increase their strength with a ready-to-use
program designed specifically for the physical challenges they face on the
court.
Bruno Pauletto, University of Tennessee strength and conditioning coach,
provides players with facts about the use of weights by basketball players,
methods for building functional strength for basketball, safety guidelines,
strength exercises specific to basketball, and ready-to-use training logs
for designing a strength-training program that meets personal goals and strength
levels.
Designed for hands-on use in the weight room or gym, Strength Training
for Basketball takes players step by step through a full year of specific
workouts, including a 10-week preseason, a 14-week in-season, and two 10-week
off-season periods. Training logs are provided for each workout and show
the proper exercises, repetitions, sets, and weights for both a split routine
(lifting 4 days a week) and a total-body routine (lifting 3 days a week).
Players need only to fill in the blanks with the appropriate weights based
on personal goals and strength levels.
Strength Training for Basketball is loaded with photos that show the
correct performance techniques for 21 strength training exercises most beneficial
to the basketball player--both "core" and supplemental exercises. The book
also includes the 3 medicine ball drills most commonly used in basketball.
In addition to being a practical tool for basketball players, this book is
a valuable reference for coaches. Basketball coaches will find the sport-specific
strength training information an excellent companion to Pauletto's Strength
Training for Coaches, a complete guide to setting up a strength
program.
Strength Training for Basketball is a hands-on guide that gives basketball
players at the junior high, high school, and college levels all of the strength
training information they need to help them gain the advantage on the
court.
What they are saying...
"Bruno sets up a total year-round training program, and all you have to do
is follow along. This program can be used by anyone in high school, college,
or professional basketball. The only thing the participant has to give is
effort.
