Goals
Reduce fat, maintain power.
- Reduce fat percentage without compromising performance
- Optimize functional muscle mass
- Improve the strength-to-weight ratio to gain agility and explosiveness
Bases
In intermittent sports like basketball, better body composition improves:
- Ability to accelerate and change direction.
- Vertical jump.
- Efficiency in travel.
- Less relative load on joints.
The process is based on:
- Moderate and controlled energy deficits.
- Strategic distribution of proteins to preserve muscle mass.
- Nutritional periodization to not affect performance in competition.
- Sustainable strategies, without extreme diets.
Example
If you weigh 4 kg less fat, but maintain your muscle mass:
- You arrive before the divided ball.
- Cambias de dirección con más facilidad.
- You jump more efficiently.
- You get less fatigued in quick transitions.
It is not about “weighing less”. It's about performing better with the body you need for your position and style of play.
