đ THE KEY TESTS TO HELP BASKETBALL PLAYERS MOVE BETTER đ
When you work with super tall athletes like basketball players, their movement demands and compensatory strategies are going to appear a bit differently than those of us closer to earth.
In order to determine what tests will give us the most information about basketball players, we have to look at what movement challenges they possess, the injuries they are most likely to sustain, and the movement qualities needed to mitigate injury risk.
But what tests matter the most? What will give us the information needed to make sound training decisions for these athletes?
Be prepared to dive into these areas and take your basketball movement testing to a different level with Movement Debrief Episode 158.
With this video, you'll learn the following:
1. How being tall impacts movement
2. What movement qualities are needed to mitigate the challenges from being tall
3. The most common and devastating injuries basketball players sustain
4. Four assessments that help look at passive and active movement capabilities relevant to basketball
5. A fifth bonus test that might surprise you ;)
Let's get to it!
