Dr. Chen’s STaR Studio is rooting for Li Ning, sponsor of China’s Northern K-12 Basketball League games!2014-04-09 10:48:12 From：Dr. Bob Chen STaR Studio
At 7:30 PM on March 28th, the Li Ning-sponsored K-12 Basketball League Games of Northern China began on time at Zibo. After the Southern China matches, Dr. Chen’s STaR Studio was invited once again to help out with this event.
There are several basketball-related areas of interest set up, and in our physical rehabilitation area, we arranged two events: Rope Shake and Bosu Ball exercises. Our studio staff gave instructions one on one, which not only corrected testers’ incorrect postures, but also provided everyone with new understanding for these two exercises, and at the same time, attracted a large number of people who wanted to try out or watch.
In addition, warm-ups are essential in basketball, which enables athletes to effectively increase muscles, tendons, ligaments and other soft tissues’ stretching and flexibility, reduces injuries during matches or training, and also allows athletes to carry on high-intensity training and competition in the best condition.
One thing is worth mentioning here is that at the Northern China games, from these set-ups, we can really see how much organizers emphasized pre-match preparatory activities. Before the Skills Contest, Three-point Shooting Contest, and Slam Dunk Contest, based on the characteristics of each event, the coaches of Dr. Chen’s STaR Studio conducted targeted stretching guidance for each participant. In the following matches, we could also clearly see that the students, who had good stretching, performed well.
In addition to the expected set-ups, many parents and PE teachers requested our staff to perform injury checkups and simple rehabilitation guidance for some athletes. From these injured athletes, we can conclude that injuries for basketball athletes start as early as middle school and high school. These players do not have strong awareness of preparatory and organizing activities, plus they pay no attention to stretching and relaxation after exercise, and after injuries, they do not get proper rehabilitation treatment. All these would affect their development on their basketball journey, which is a problem that needs to be pointed out to young athletes.
This event has made us realize that basketball is a widespread popular sport. Only when we learn how to prevent injuries can we prolong and improve our sports career, and for this, we need to change our consciousness.
