What is a good and easy way to raise my endurence?

Question

like for basketball

Answer 1

Just practice running for longer and longer amounts of time. If you can run for an hour, you can play a game of basketball no problem. :)

Answer 2

Suggestion would be to start running : like a mile a day and add a mile each week , same with working out or you could run laps on the basketball court, cruches adding a little more each time...pushing yourself a little more each time should raise your endurence.

Answer 3

To increase endurance, you need to increase your amount of exercise. But don't over do it, take it slow and build it up. For basketball, I'd be at the park playing hoops by myself. Dribbling, running and jumping. In conjunction with that, you need a good cardio program intermixed with an endurance program. I can't afford the gym so I am a do-it-yourselfer. I asked my mother (who is a doctor) what to do and she said to start slow and increase as time went by. I walk, walk and walk with ankle weights on my arms and legs and for cardio I have a tape. But do consider going out and playing hoops by yourself to build the endurance needed for the sport. To partake of the sport, it is common sense to work out as if you were playing the sport. If you can get to a football field, run around it four times and that's a mile. To get those legs stronger do "up and overs". Run up one aisle in the bleachers and run across to another aisle and run down. Then do it again. Believe me, this will give you legs of steel. For the upper body, you can use weights so you can pound that ball hard and fast during the game. And you need strong arms to slam that ball through the net. Stay hydrated, don't over do it and I expect to see you on TV, ok?

Answer 4

I agree with the answers for running. To train for the sport, actually doing the sport is the best training! Just like the above posts, begin slowly with your running, and work up, after awhile you'll be running with little effort because your heart and lungs will be stronger and you won't get so winded and tired.
Be sure to have some good running shoes, you won't want to injure your shins or calf muscles and not be able to play at all. This is why it's important for you to take it slow, you don't want to risk getting any injuries.

Answer 5

Run. You have to do a lot of running back & forth the court, so why not run. You could also try scrimmaging with some other people, and do squats. Sit on the floor, and pick up your leg (so it's off the ground,) and move your foot in a circular motion. This helps prevent knee problems.
