You are totally right...the time I decrease my Cardio intensity from 80% to 60-65% my Cardio capacity and Endurance on bball games increased 😱 For me jump rope is amazing for conditioning.

[@YouTubeSlobsOnDaNob]

I do about 30 minutes on the jump rope, 2-3 times a week, depending on how many days I hit the court, which is usually twice a week due to my job. If I hit the court 3 times a week, cut my rope sessions down to 2 for that week.

[@abcdefgh4404]

@D. It varies from 20 to 30 minutes 3 x week. I just jump rope until reach around 65% of fatigue, take a break of 10-30 seconds and repeat.

Weighted ropes. I played at UCLA and when I arrived I was introduced to the"Alcindor" rope. 5 lb rope I still use to this day. I played pro until age 43. I use Crossrope as well for the lower weights.

[@huntingtonhayes]

I don't disagree with you, but most of the conditioning has to be done around shooting the basketball while under fatigue. This is how the sport is played and won. You have to be able to make shots after running sprints.

[@carlosmendez3955]

Depends on the shot and on the if it's a one motion or two, for me it's hard make more than 20 up and unders layups 🥲 but I can shoot all day even after fatigue cause it's one morion

Yes but no because straight cardio doesn’t help you’re muscular endurance like other exercises can

[@chosenone8964]

You can get your cardio with scrimmages better than just running

[@rockon8174]

Sprinting is anaerobic. You aren't exhausted when you shoot a ball. Seems to me ...you haven't actually played basketball. 😐

[@monsterhunterunite12]

@@rockon8174 try shooting 500-1000 shots a day

[@docd2295]

I’ve found the best way to condition for me is to progressively play more pickup in offseason, do slow speed single and double leg squats and air squats for high reps to build tons of strength endurance in the low position, practice your shots and moves a lot at high intensity at intervals just slow enough to say fresh, and do a good general strength and mobility program 2-3 times a week. That takes care of it.

Literally the reason I’m here my jump shot if horrible when I’m fatigued

[@lonewolfnh89]

My senior year in high school I was the fastest cross country runner in my school division. I tried out for the basketball team that winter and clocked in a 4:34 mile during conditioning practice. The basketball coaches were super surprised. I made the final roster spot on the basketball team after 3 years of getting cut. I remember my first game after 4 minutes of intense offensive, defense, sprints and stop and go mechanic, I was the only player that was completely tired. I didn't tell no one cause I was assumed by everyone to be the most in shape, and that played a huge factor in me getting the final roster spot. When I emailed my cross country coach and asked him why am I getting so tired on the basketball court when I'm capable of running a 4:34 mile. He mentioned the muscles from long distance cross country and basketball are being used drastically different. I remember waking up from basketball practice and games sore to the point I walked awkwardly. I think for basketball if you can run a fast mile, that's overall a good thing, but it's important to emphasize the stop and go motions and like the video said, doing a max workout in a short period of time.

[@KidnapT]

Damn! Ppl under this vids comment are like one of the best athletes in the world lol

[@KidnapT]

Btw I really find your comments relatable I’m also a good runner not as good as you but i get the same tiredness as you I probably gonna start working stop and go motion tomorrow and later on thanks!

[@altdelete7696]

Absolutely, I've always been fast and I've always enjoyed running long distance. I also love basketball but find myself completely gasped playing full court. I'm kind of an all or nothing guy so I never learned to pace myself, It's either 100% rack attack rebounding and defensive clamps or taking a knee on the opposite end of the court while my teammates go 4 on 5 in transition lol

[@CoryHeadquarters]

basketball literally consists of running for 4 quarters. it leads to fatigue, and without running training you’ll have trouble making shots while tired.

[@joshbinspinnin8171]

That’s exactly what players should be training. Shooting while fatigue. A basketball game is played through different speeds. The best players in the world tend to pace themselves and know when to use the right amount of energy and speed in the right amount of time.

[@TheRookyMarky]

Awesome man, even in soccer, where players are lighter and run a bunch(which we should), I always felt that we over ran. Then I had a coach late in high school who simply made us train hard in game like situations with the BALL as the focus. In reality, you jog most of a soccer game with sprints coming every few minutes.

[@TheRookyMarky]

Especially in season, over running = injuries

[@kylemiller5671]

You can only really handle one or two vo2 max or maximum effort cardio per week. It should also be less than 20% in the offseason and 10% during the season of your total volume. Ignoring this is building a pyramid without a base. It works for about a week or two, then you stop improving or get hurt. Offseason training in zones 1-3 is what generates real results in sessions where short maximum efforts are followed by a short break to mimic match requirements.

[@natestotts5388]

This is not sound advice You have to be able to perform under fatigue and still be effective. Coaches have you run a lot to build up your stamina and so you can last till the 4th qtr. You are worthless if you can't keep up or outpace the other team. A lot of modern basketball is focused on shooting and transition offense, and both require high conditioning.

[@Nicklas25_DK]

BBall doesn´t require high conditioning but high Basketball conditioning. An individual who can run 10 miles with good pace ain´t gonna play better in the 4th quarter then the individual who plays pickup for a couple hours twice a week.

So i ve been thinking about this stuff (mixing lifting and jumping, low with high intensity jumps, etc) for quite some time, i used to kinda believe running was just a mode of getting from a to b faster than walking. Of course, not speaking here about technique, but just the actual boring af mean of training employed by the vast majority of coaches. And adopted, with quiet reservations, by me also, while asking myself "why get myself so tired without the ball?!?". Thanks for the confirmation, we're so late to the game here😅

[@robertdamianou8058]

For the cyclical conditioning could you put into a higher intensity style work for basketball conditioning aswell not just 60% of max HR, for example 15 minute session, 20 seconds max intensity/ 40 seconds rest, I know this similar to speed endurence but I love the idea of the less impact on the joints from cyclical conditioning, thoughts?

[@auntoneyofuntease6704]

Mainly because basketball is anaerobic, meaning you get energy from the glucose stored in your muscles. Which is how you get explosive jumps. Aerobic uses O² too burn fat for energy, which is slow like burning coal, and anaerobic is fast like burning nitro.

[@rz9wb]

@@auntoneyofuntease6704 actually having a higher aerobic capacity helps your anaerobic system. Even Iverson and many ball players trained this way and could run sub 5min miles.

[@rz9wb]

@@auntoneyofuntease6704actually inverson and many ball players train aerobically. They all run sub 5min miles too. The mile event is 25/75 split or 30/70. People commonly misquote is as 20/80 or 10/90 but it’s not. It’s much higher. You typically run 3miles during a 45min basketball game. Where stride and fast breaks are everything. Having strong running muscles are very important in the game of basketball and it’s highly overlooked.

Like telling a soccer player not to run because they run in the games. Running outside the game, is what allows them to run in the games.
