Worried that your shooting skills, jump power and height are affected by a strenght training program? A new study suggests that you can just go ahead and get stronger.

The strength training session on a lift day was a full-body workout and included 7 exercises performed in 3–6 sets at loads ranging from a 5 to 12 repetition maximum. After 6 hours vertical jump, anaerobic power and shooting accuracy were measured and compared with a non workout day. No difference.
