Upper Body. The upper-body muscles are used in basketball to shoot the ball along with providing strength to fight through players to get rebounds or absorb contact when driving to the basket. The shoulder, chest, biceps and triceps are all muscle areas that basketball players use during play. The triceps are a critical muscle when shooting long-range baskets such as three-pointers. Building triceps muscles helps players who shoot well from close distances but struggle with deep shooting.
Have a Heart. Playing basketball is excellent cardiovascular exercise, which means it can help strengthen the most important muscle in your body -- the heart. The sport also burns plenty of calories and helps you develop endurance, particularly if you play the standard game on a 94-foot court. If you weigh 155 pounds, for example, youâll burn 298 calories in 30 minutes of a basketball game.
