So I understand that sprinting exercises help you develop fast-twitch fibres that help increase explosiveness and strength, which is something I'm aiming for as a basketball player.
I also still want to maintain my cardio and long distance ability to have more energy throughout the entirety of games. However I understand that long distance running helps develop short-twitch fibres at the expense of fast-twitch fibres, which helps endurance (I think that's right?).
So would it be beneficial for me to do say 3 days of Sprints exercises for every 1 day of long distance running? Or should I only focus on sprints as long distance running will be counterintuitive to my sprints training.
Simply, can I get the best of both worlds or do the workouts take away from each other too much?
N.B. I'm also doing plyometrics and things of that nature to help my vertical/explosiveness.
