The top 10 benefits of playing basketball!

1. Growing taller and improving aerobic capacity
Although playing basketball has benefits for various aspects of physical development, the biggest benefit should be growing taller and improving aerobic capacity. Because basketball is a "master" sport, being tall or jumping high is an advantage. After a competition, the number of jumps can reach up to 200 times, and the biomechanical signal obtained by the bones is "to survive, one must grow upwards"!

2. Improve the ability of sensory integration
Research has shown that many modern psychological or developmental disorders, such as autism, stem from problems with the brain's ability to coordinate information relationships between different senses. When playing basketball, various senses (such as looking at the ball with eyes, feeling the movements of defensive players, hearing the calls of coaches and players with ears, loudly reminding teammates, proprioceptive receptors regulating parts of the body, and feedback from balanced senses when jumping in the air, etc.) work in a highly excited state, cooperating and coordinating with each other. Basketball has therefore become one of the best sensory training.

3. Improve reaction ability
Basketball is an open skill sport that requires athletes to adapt to the ever-changing moments on the field. Over time, the reaction time decreases and the reaction ability improves.

4. Improve decision making ability
It is similar to improving reaction ability. The ever-changing stadium requires an athlete to make decisive decisions about when to pitch, when to pass, and so on. What are the strengths of the other party? What are our strengths? How to leverage strengths and avoid weaknesses to determine the best lineup? The practice of these decision-making abilities is bound to help a person make big and small decisions in daily life.

5. Improve observation ability
When I first started learning to play basketball, the coach always reminded us to learn to use the extra light of our eyes to simultaneously observe our responsible defensive opponents. In fact, this is the observational ability in psychology. In daily life, this ability to observe the surrounding life is very important.

6. Cultivate courage and adventurous spirit
Fear and worry too much are often major obstacles in our life's progress. In the critical moments of major basketball games, daring to try is often necessary for victory.

7. Dare to face failure
Those who have participated in competitive sports must have had experiences of failure, and life is actually the same. How to learn from failure and take it to the next level is the greatest gain that every sports person can gain from their experience of failure.
