Core Training For Basketball
The days of just laying on your back and doing crunches are over! Here are a variety of core exercises and drills we use with our players on a weekly basis, both in and out of season. These exercises work the core in all three planes of motion (with varying angles and foot positions) and utilize a variety of modalities. The core plays a vital role in every movement a basketball player makes on the court!
We define the "core" as everything from the chest to the knees... abs, obliques, low back, and glutes/hips.

Through the test, Sharapova learned how well she replaces the fluids and electrolytes she loses in sweat during intense play and reinforced how dehydration can impact performance.
