Basketball
During the off-season, an athlete can develop a great aerobic base through running, biking, swimming, or any endurance workout. During this period, getting on the court can include wearing a heart-rate monitor to perform whatever off-season activity is required, as long as the athlete does not exceed the maximum aerobic heart rate. As the weeks go by, more and more intensity can be gained on the basketball court at the same heart rate, so that as the preseason approaches, a high-level practice game may not bring the heart rate nearly as high as during the start of aerobic training. Here are some examples.
Following a good warm-up, if a twenty-eight-year-old basketball player practices various activities, including dribbling up and down the court, running and shooting, and playing against team members, a heart-rate monitor can guide progress. In this example, a sixty-minute session may bring the heart rate to this player’s maximum aerobic level of 152, forcing the player to slow down to prevent exceeding that level. But after a few weeks of developing the aerobic system, the same sixty-minute workout might show an average heart rate of only 131 with peaks not exceeding 152. This player will now have much more energy, better eye-hand coordination, and overall better function, especially in the latter part of game, as a result of these improvements.
