Stephen Curry’s Underwater Workout Keeps Him Elite at 38

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry and his performance team have shared insights into the specialized conditioning routine maintaining his elite play at age 38. Carl Bergstrom, the Director of Performance at SC30 Inc., revealed that Curry utilizes an underwater treadmill following on-court sessions to maximize aerobic fitness while minimizing joint pressure and impact on his body in his 18th NBA season.

Bergstrom also detailed the implementation of active recovery and a 1-to-1 work-to-rest ratio designed to rapidly lower Curry's heart rate between high-intensity intervals. The training has supported an exceptional start to the 2026-27 campaign, where Curry has led Golden State to eight consecutive victories while averaging 30.6 points per game.
