Not only does he possess superior throwing skills, Stephen Curry also has special abilities that few people know.
Many basketball fans have recognized former MVP Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors as the greatest shooter in basketball history. But how does a “small” physical player like Curry have such a strong physical foundation and keep his throwing efficiency always so high?
Stephen Curry is so famous for his basketball shooting ability, so he always gets special care from his opponents every time he has the ball. That’s why coach Steve Kerr has built a ball-rotating style of play combined with building support for his throwing hand. He will constantly have to move through the support and only receive the ball once it is clear. The secret to player number 30’s ability to maintain his fitness lies in his ability to reduce his heart rate!
Stephen Curry’s above ability was explained by journalist David Fleming in the latest article on ESPN. According to Fleming, former player Davidson has the ability to quickly reduce his heart rate during consultation breaks. In just 30 seconds or 90 seconds, Stephen Curry can adjust his heart rate to 80 beats/minute.
What does this really mean? The slow heart rate of about 80 beats/minute that Curry achieves has many benefits for the body. At this rate range, the human heart can push more blood in one beat than a person with a fast heart rate. The large amount of blood combined with steady breathing will carry oxygen and energy throughout the body, helping the Warriors star maintain good physical condition throughout the match.
Of course, this ability of Curry did not come by chance. He spent many years practicing to be able to truly control himself like he is now. Personal fitness trainer Brandon Payne and the former MVP spent a lot of time in the gym. After heavy physical exercises, Curry was asked to lie down and rest his back on sandbags to exercise the star’s diaphragm.
After years of hard practice, Stephen Curry can now control his heart rate during short breaks. That is the reason why, even at 32 years old, Stephen Curry is still at the peak of his career and shows no signs of slowing down.
