Men's physical fitness

What's included in the men's selection

The page brings together three categories: clothing, running gear, and strength training equipment. Clothing takes the lead, featuring shirts, shorts, sweatshirts, and training jackets designed for men or unisex. Next, there are running shoes and smartwatches. The strength training equipment, like dumbbells, steps, and resistance bands, rounds out the collection.

Run and lift in the same outfit

A lightweight short and a breathable fabric shirt work well both on the road and in the gym. For cooler outings, a windbreaker like the Trivor from Joma shields you from the wind without getting too hot. A zip-up sweatshirt helps transition from warming up to the workout. Choose synthetic materials that dry quickly: cotton holds onto sweat and becomes heavy.

The gear that goes everywhere

Some accessories save time for a player training alone.

• The step is used for quick climbs, jumps, and footwork, whether in a living room or a gym.
• The dumbbells cover strength training for both the upper and lower body.
• The smartwatch, from Garmin, measures distances and pacing during runs.
• The water bottle goes from running to the gym.

After the workout

The end of the workout is important too. A towel, a water bottle, and a change of clothes stay in the bag. Some players use a massage gun in their post-workout routine: follow the manufacturer's instructions closely and consult a health professional if you experience pain.

Frequently asked questions

What training clothing size should a tall person wear?

Tall basketball players often find shirts too short in the torso. Check the length specified in the brand's size guide, and go up a size if needed. Some brands offer longer cuts.

Is a GPS watch useful for a basketball player?

It is mostly helpful for running outings: distance, pace, duration. In the gym, it can be used as a stopwatch for intervals. For basketball itself, it remains a secondary accessory.

Windbreaker or tracksuit jacket for outdoor running?

The windbreaker, lighter, keeps out the wind and light rain without overheating. The tracksuit jacket, thicker, is suited for warming up and travels. For running in cool weather, layer a technical shirt and a windbreaker.

What exercises can you do with a step?

Alternate step-ups, two-foot jumps, and speed footwork: the step is great for many short, dynamic exercises. Start at the lowest height. Your coach can help you design circuits suitable for basketball.

Do you need different shoes for running and the gym?

Yes, ideally. Running shoes cushion forward motion, while in the gym, stability is needed for lifting or jumping. A cross-training shoe bridges the two.
