The new medical technology allows us to explore the human body in a way like never before. This new knowledge is much used in today's professional sports. The players are much stronger, quicker, and can jump higher, and all of these new abilities are taking a toll on a body. The sports are more demanding these days, and as a logical consequence, the training must be more demanding.  


One of the widely accepted new things in the aspect of training is a start. Coaches used to make their players stretch their muscles at the beginning of every practice, but now that is a thing of the past. New research and data are showing that the stretched muscle has 70% strength of the same muscle that is just warmed up. The other important thing is that the ligaments that are stretched are more subjective to an injury than warmed-up ligaments.


Data say that the best results are made by warming up every muscle group at the beginning of the practice and stretching then cooling down at the end.


Let's see what Coach Papalio has to teach us about warming up the legs and the core muscles.


The first drill should be the standing lunge. 



Standing lunge is a drill that activates the whole leg, core muscles, and lower back muscles. These three groups are most injured in basketball. By adding the arm-up drill while doing the lunge, you are putting some balance drills into the whole thing.


For your next drill do the walking lunge. This way, more coordination is needed, and the complete lower body is activated. All the muscles and all the ligaments are getting warmed up and ready for running and jumping.



And for the final part, make your players twist their shoulders from left to right while doing the walking lunges, just to activate all of the hip tendons.     



While twisting the shoulders, the players are not just getting warmed up, they are practicing the balance even more than in previous drills.



Let us take a look at the video:
