Warm Up for Basketball the RITE Way
There is not really a “right” or “wrong” way to warm-up but think of it rather as a productive and unproductive way, or a helpful versus less helpful way. A proper dynamic warm-up should increase mobility of the muscles and joints being used and should incorporate movements that are specific to your sport. Learn more about a dynamic warm-up from sports physical therapist Jessica Penshorn, P.T., D.P.T., A.T.C., L.A.T.
