Basketball 
  is a complete activity and showed rather complicated problems in the programming 
  of the card, as it was necessary to reconcile in a completely different way, 
  at the study stage, the physical aspects related to strength and metabolic peculiarities 
  which are partly mixed: Aerobic/anaerobic alactacid. Furthermore, it was necessary 
  to consider in great part that the physical activity is charged to the upper 
  limbs as well as the lower limbs. As far as the quality of the strength of the 
  basketball player concerned, we think that the research to improve its parameters 
  must be completely similar to those of the skier or the volleyball player or 
  the sprinter. The continuous changes of direction, the short but fulminant burst 
  and the rise to the basket are typical expressions of an explosive musculature 
  that requires extremely dynamic contractions. In fact, practically, the card 
  contains the complete range of programmes proposed with intensity, obviously, 
  specifically for this discipline. Also for basketball counts, in fact, that 
  there has been an evolution regarding the aspects of the playing, related to 
  the appearance and the physical power. The time when the tall ones made the 
  difference under the basket, has gone. Nowadays the small ones (so to speak) 
  are able to make up for certain lacks of a smaller body, thanks to the great 
  athletic dynamism, even if the tall ones are becoming less slow and clumsy, 
  revealing agility and speed. Something we could not even think of not so long 
  ago. Basketball is a complete sport. Therefore we can recommend this sport to 
  children as it is educational, stimulating for their intelligence and for the 
  learning of co-ordinative capacities, optimal to socialise and to learn to live 
  in a group, respecting rules of behaviour. Furthermore it is one of the most 
  interesting sports from a playful point of view. The dry training should have 
  a programme that alternates exercises of aerobic kind and training sessions 
  that improve physical aspects of strength. Electrostimulation is useful both 
  for giving an extra dimension to the development of specific characteristics 
  and for acting in a sectorial way on the muscle districts in the trunk and upper 
  limbs, in order to increase co-ordination and power. Basketball, in a certain 
  way, is not a contact sport even if, in fact, especially underneath the basket, 
  everything can happen. Anyway, fractures are rare. Little more frequent are 
  those in the nasal septum caused by elbow thrusts. Frequent are distortions 
  of the ankle and knee, tendinitis and inflammations of ligaments in general 
  in all parts of the body, not only in the lower limbs. The Tens current is part 
  of the determinative solution to these problems.
