Which exercise is most likely to help you jump higher in basketball?
-
Body squats
-
Pushups
-
Curl-ups
-
Long distance running
Correct Answer
A. Body squatsExplanation
Body squats are most likely to help you jump higher in basketball because they target the muscles in your legs, including your quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes, which are essential for generating power and explosiveness in your jumps. By regularly performing body squats, you can strengthen these muscles, improve your lower body strength, and ultimately increase your vertical jump height. Pushups primarily work the upper body muscles and do not directly target the leg muscles needed for jumping. Curl-ups primarily work the abdominal muscles and do not directly contribute to improving jumping ability. Long distance running primarily focuses on cardiovascular endurance and does not specifically target the muscles needed for jumping.Rate this question:
