Today we open a new section "Core Stability & Basketball Training". In this section you can found a exercises to work your core.
Now, we are going to explain... What is the core?
The core is all the stabilizing muscles of the trunk, which are responsible for maintaining posture and balance of the column to shocks arising from changes.

These muscles to which we refer to as stabilizers are: abdominal (rectus and oblique), buttocks, for our spinal and hip.
The core is a very important part in basketball, if we had to choose us the most important muscles for a basketball player, would be these. Specific gestures require players to make physical contact against and situations in which instability occurs.
In basketball, instability is present in all specific movements such as pivot (especially in the pivot foot), accelerations and decelerations, changes of direction, insights, blocking the rebound, dribbling, recovery of defensive position, jumps on the rebound on offense and defense ...
These actions are often performed in a very limited space and require very fast movement, high capacity coordination, adequate strength and especially a good balanced postural control to achieve them, or be exposed to an error in this action and successive.
This muslces are vital for performance in their movements. We need to have a high core strength that allows us to stabilize the lumbar spine (where our center of gravity is located), when performing movements of the trunk. It has been shown that the strength of the core is related to the technical performance and athletic gestures.
The core serves as a stabilizer of the movements and contributes force production that makes the upper body (shoots, passes, blocks, rebounds...)

In next post... we will publicate a exercises to work core ;) Pay attention!
