Exercise: Resisted Sprints

  Print This Page  Send to a Friend
  • Attach surgical tubing or sport cord around waist and have partner hold other end
  • Beginning at baseline, sprint to half-court while partner provides constant resistance
  • Rest for 45-60 seconds and repeat for 4 sprints
  • Drop resistance and perform 10-15 explosive drives to the hoop dunking the ball or laying it in

Reps: 4 resisted sprints, 10-15 non-resisted drives

Why he does it: "Running against resistance makes your muscles fire harder. When the resistance is dropped, your muscles still know to fire harder. Drives without resistance add a sport-specific element. You get the same movement and foot placement you have in a game when you go to the hoop."
