Hi Beth;

 

Best bet is to search the journals.  Shuttles are good for conditioning though.  When you shoot, release the ball as high as possible.  ESPN reaearch has shown it's the best chance of scoring.  Good luck

What are some SAFE and useful techniques to increase lower leg strength knowing the biomechanical  disadvantage (long femurs) of elite basketball centers and power forwards that well over into the 6'8-7'3 range who may also be long and lanky so to speak. Speaking in terms of back squatting, front squatting, dead lifting, leg press, lunges or any other core lower body exercises. What are some special consideration or modifications to consider when working with these type of athletes. Ex: Elevated deadlifting, Box Squats, etc? 
Thanks, 
Jake
