Power Tips



With the clock winding down and the game on the line, pro basketball players are a flurry of coordinated movement. Legs pivot, push off and provide quick sprints into position. Arms flex and release with each dribble, pump with each pass and provide the muscle behind long buzzer beating shots. And to provide a player's maneuverability and explosiveness, upper and lower body muscles must operate in sync.
