What is the best way to increase stamina?

Strength training - push your self where you are almost out of breathe and hold. next week add more weight and do less reps. Then jog through your neighborhood, find a hill sprint up and then job back down but never fully recover.

Just run before the season.  running a lot will not only make you faster for the season.  It will also help your stamina greater because you have been running all year long.

Do uphill biking exercises, this will improve not only your jumping ability but also your quick step acceleration.  By attacking uphill on my bike, I was able to jump about 6" higher and my speed was mostly unmatched on most courts I've walked on to.  You want to do 1-2 hour uphill biking for about 3 or 4 times a week.  You'll definitely see an improvement in your ups.  \n\nA side note: To dunk a ball, you've also got to be able to get a good grip the ball.  Its much harder to dunk if you can't palm the ball.  Dunking takes a lot of energy, I find that layups are just as effective even though it isn't as flashy, but you'll stay in the game for much longer.

Sleep. You will restore your stamina if you do, and most likely make you in a better mood when you wake up. You'll get your work done fatser and more efficiently. I find that if you don't want to go to sleep, but feel the need you have to, putting your T.V on sleep with a low volume, and just closing your eyes and listening, helps alot. Reading is also good.

stamina at what?  do you mean muscle stamina to help you lift a weight more reps .... or run farther...\n\ni'm guessing you mean run farther.  i don't think there's an easy way out of this...you just have to run or do some kind of cardio for long periods of time.  you can also try some HIIT (high intensity interval training) to build up your VO2 max.  VO2 max is the volume of oxygen you can consume while exercising at your maximum capacity.  Those who are more fit have higher VO2 max values and can exercise more intensely than those who are not as well conditioned. Numerous studies show that you can increase your VO2 max by working out at an intensity that raises your heart rate to between 65 and 85% of its maximum for at least 20 minutes three to five times a week. \n\nso one way to do this is to do this:\n\none interval is:\n20 seconds of sprinting followed by 10 seconds of rest\n\nrepeat 8 times for a total of 8 intervals = 4 minutes\n\nof course warmup jog for like 4 mins before, and 4 mins after

Interval workouts really increase your stamina.  Either short bursts on bike or short sprints will work.  And the amount you do depends on the amount of base miles you put in.  The more base miles then the more interval workouts you can do.  The website listed will give you more info.  Look under "Training Tools".

start running...alot.....my suggestion is if you have a treadmill or a stationary bike put it on the interval mode and go all out. try to exercise as intense as possible, this will get results faster.\n\nthe funnest and most practical way is to actually play sports. get some friends together and play volleyball if you can. if not, get some friends and play 2 on 2 pickup basketball full court.....this will really get you in shape....if you cant play b-ball, try some tennis. get a fit friend and challenge her to a game. you run alot especially back n forth which will improve your speed.\n\ntry running some sprints too.......about 40-50 yards.....at least 10 in a row with only 15-30 seconds rest in between.....\n\na healthy diet would increase results as well...\n\ngood luck hope you make the team!!!!

get on your fours and raise your leg up as high as you can, keeping your foot flat. do each side about 15-20 times a day until you can increase your time.

Start with easier workouts and slowly build up the amount of work that you do.  This will build up your stamina slowly and before you know it you will be doing more than you use to do.  Keep track of what you do for your workouts.  Never increase your workouts too much from day to day.  Slowly ramp up the amount that you do.  To boost your energy, about one hour before you workout have an energy drink consisting of several kinds of fruit, some 100% fruit juices and some milk.  The milk will cause your body to burn up the carbs slower.  And within 30 to 45 minutes after your workout have another smaller energy drink to replenish the glycogen in your muscles that you have burned up by exercising.

Stamina comes with practice. If you have a difficult time continuously swimming long distances, break your workout down and do a pyramid or ladder set. Pyramid sets you gradually increase the distance of each set and finish with your longest distanced set. For example, 5 sets of 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500. Ladder sets you increase your distance, then decrease and finish with a short distance. For example, 5 sets of 200, 300, 400, 300 and 200.Increase your distances or the number of sets as you get used accustomed to the sets. Set a goal of how many yards you will like to accomplish in your workout. If you workout for an hour, try to complete 3000 yards, then increase to 3200 and so on.

The key is to keep a long and constant stride.  To get to that point you should run a lot of hills.  This will get your knees to rise higher.  Another important part to improving is to get your wind.  When you breath in a rhythm that is comfortable to you, the air keeps the body energized.  You should time an inhale after three to seven short exhales.  This activity should take place on every step.  The last part to practice is that sprint to the finish.  Only you will know where that starts.  When you pass the finish line, you should have nothing left in your  tank.  You coach should be able to assist you after that.  Some runners like to start the sprint going into the last turn, some are comfortable in sprinting the last 200, and others even start after the second to last turn.  that final kick  is what makes the most difference.  However, you must be able to keep up with everyone up to that point.\n\nIf you work on leg strength and your breathing, your times should improve quickly.

Run sprints, bleachers, jump rope, and ladders. You can also do calf work like calf raisers. Believe me i did all that and i got alot faster. It took seconds off my 100 M....just continue all those workouts for awhile and you'll get faster. You can also wear ankle weights for awhile.

running is less needy than jumping.  Find a basketball hoop.  Hang something off it to the 9 ft level(unless you are already jumping to 10 ft)  Jump and touch the object 40 to 50 times in ! half hour, then go jogging for 1/2 hr, then do it again.  What you are trying to do is build within your muscles the ability to do Aerobic work, and have developed a big(Big) anaerobic capacity.  When you play volleyball, most of the work is quite explosive, and exceeds your aerobic capacity.  However, you need a great aerobic uptake ability to recover after long rallys.  Talk to your coach, but work out on your own as I have described.  I am 5'7" and have played USVBA for 40 yrs.  Can't do it much longer.  It is a young person's game(as in 30 to 40), or younger.\n\nGood luck.

Contact a food pyramid for food guidelines.  Choose whole foods like whole grains and fresh produce instead of packaged foods.  Drink PLENTY of water.  Take a vitamin and mineral supplement.  Do other physical activities that will improve strength and stamina like some Resistance training at a gym and swimming.  Vary your routine or your body will become "bored" and not get any better.\n\nI'm sorry, I don't know which shoes are best for runners.  Do you not know what spikes are or are you saying you think readers won't know?

Practice, practice, practice. Run every day. Do leg work outs as well, and also run long distances to help build up your leg muscles. Work out with a friend; you'll push yourself harder if you're competing. You could also find someone that can is faster than you and have him/her work out with you and push you to work harder.
