Is it okay to play basketball after working out?

Answer 1

Definitely, you can play Basketball after working out. In fact during football workouts right after lifting me and my teammates would always play basketball. But since you have plenty of time in between lifting and playing basketball, you'll give your body a lot more rest than playing right after. But remember that after your lifting workouts make sure you always refuel yourself with some sort of meal/protein. Refueling right after lifting is crucial for muscle recovery to get bigger. No matter what whether your playing basketball after or not the recovery process after workouts is the most vital aspect in fast muscle growth.
