How do i get quicker?

Question

how do i get quicker and move faster for basketball. what are some things i can do

Answer 1

do alot of long jogs at a good pace it makes ur thighs more muscular eventually it makes u faster and u get alot fitter

Answer 2

I got faster by just playing. Being fast doesn't mean you will be able to burn everyone. People, who learned how to watch a persons's stomach, are nearly impossible to burn unless you are an ankle breaker like AI or Kobe.

Answer 3

run with ankle weights

Answer 4

im a distance runner. i run about a 2 miles a day to stay in shape. but to move quick will also take long distance running too. if you can running distance in a acceptable speed then when you run up and down the court you WILL be faster.  also do foot work.

Answer 5

If you are fat, loose weight.

If you are skinny, get muscles.

other than that you are stuck with your genes...

Answer 6

Buy a "weight vest" and wear it. Do sprints. Run up hills.

Answer 7

Sprinting and running hills are key.  So is squating, even without weights.  Also restiance and assisted running is good.  If you have two people have then each hold an end of a towel and run into the towel as they pull back.  Then start out striding slowly with them in front of you and then have then catapult you forward.  Different distances are key.  If you are looking specifically at basketball try running to each dash on the lane line from the baseline.  It will really work your acceleration.

Answer 8

Just practice practice practice! I play basketball and its loads of fun! Just jeep on tryin!

Answer 9

practice running backwards.

and wen u run run off ur tippy toes kinda that should help make u quicker

Answer 10

One thing you can do is suicides (running from the base line to free throw line/3point line/half court/other 3 point line/other free throw line/other baseline and back as fast as you can). They help you accelerate quicker. If you can, you can use weights during suicides to increase your speed. You can also practice by crossing over players during games.
