In the spirit of March basketball madness we wondered how many miles a player moves in an average game?
The distance a basketball player moves during a game can vary based on several factors such as playing style, position, and the specific dynamics of the game. On average, a professional basketball player covers around 2 to 3 miles (3.2 to 4.8 km) during a game. This distance is often covered through a combination of running, sprinting, and shuffling on the court. Keep in mind that these figures are general estimates, and individual player statistics may vary. Advanced player tracking technologies, such as those used in the NBA, provide precise data on player movements during games.
Well, we may not be playing basketball but we do like to move! Walking poles for balance, stability and exercise...enough to be a player! Let's Get Out There!
i have CRPS in my leg and need a mobile aid to get around, but i have terrible arthritis in my hands and wrists. using a cane has become impossible because of how much it hurts my hand/wrist, and i can't use a manual wheelchair for the same reason. my smartcrutch has been an absolute lifesaver. being able to adjust the forearm portion to be horizontal takes nearly all the pressure off my hand and wrist. it's not nearly as heavy as i expected it to be either. i am incredibly impressed. i can't imagine ever going back to a cane.
