Concept explainers
To design: A sport-specific training program based on an analysis of the energy systems utilized by the activity.
Introduction: To improve performance and to succeed as well, there is a need to follow the basic training principles. Also, it is known that different sports activities require different energy systems.
Explanation of Solution
Sport-specific training is required to be followed to achieve maximum output by an athlete. The main aim should be to improve the muscular efficiency and endurance, to be able to generate more power and energy and to play with maximum focus.
Different energy systems generate the energy required to play any sport. The major energy systems are as follows :
- ATP-PC
- Glycolysis
- Aerobic
The % of ATP contributed by the three energy systems for basketball is:
- ATP-PC system generates 80% of the ATP
- Glycolysis and the aerobic system generates 10% of the ATP
Training program:
The training program for basketball should be constructed keeping in mind about the primary muscles (hips, quads, calves, hamstrings, glutes, triceps, deltoids, pectorals, trapezius, biceps) which are involved.
- For running: hips, quads, calves, hamstrings
- For jumping: glutes, hips, quads,
- For shooting: triceps, deltoids
- For rebound: pectorals, trapezius, biceps
Sprint training should be done for 3-4 times a week to enhance the speed. Basic training should be done to prepare the body for strenuous exercises later.
