Basketball Strength Training & Nutrition
While there has been little research into the nutritional requirements of Basketball players, the fact they are training six days a week, often 2-3 times a day, means they are likely to be significant. The heavy training schedule of basketballers means fast and effective recovery is vital to allow them to back up from, and perform during, every session. The primary goals of recovery are to re-fuel, to promote repair and growth of lean muscle, as well as re-hydrate. We asked John Mitchell (international Basketball Strength & Conditioning Coach) and the team at Sci-MX (expert Sports Nutritionists) for their Basketball strength training nutrition guidelines. 90mins before training
