Hill Workout for Acceleration

5/16/2019

6 Comments

 
Hill workouts are one of the best workouts you can do for basketball. Obviously you don't play basketball running up a hill, but the incline emphasizes biomechanics and properties of athleticism that are key for athleticism. Like I said regarding the field workout, basketball is a game of almost strictly acceleration. Rarely do you reach your top speed in any direction. The hill's incline creates a deficit that your body must compensate for, and continue to be in an acceleration position. If you notice in most of these clips, we maintain a forward lean and our knees are pumping, and not cycling, just as if we were accelerating, even 15-20 yards into our sprint. This isn't because we are consciously doing this--it's something the hill enforces naturally. These bursts are short because the hill creates such an intense challenge for the body, and we want to maintain explosiveness throughout the workout--something that fatigue could hinder. Check out the workout below and watch the videos to clear up any questions you have!

Solid hill workout. How often do you recommend doing this per week? 2x?
