🔍 Why is Athletic Training So Important?
Tennis is a highly complex sport that requires simultaneous activation of various muscle groups. The body must be capable of executing explosive movements, moving quickly in different directions, and maintaining stability and endurance. Therefore, targeted athletic training is essential.
Here are some reasons why athletic training is indispensable for tennis players:
-
Improved Mobility: Tennis requires quick direction changes, deep squats, and powerful jumps. A flexible and mobile body is therefore crucial.
-
Increased Speed: Tennis demands high reaction speed and quick sprints over short distances. Our training will make you faster and more agile.
-
Injury Prevention: Targeted strength and stability training reduces the risk of overuse and injuries.
-
Condition and Endurance: A tennis match can last a long time, depending on intensity. Proper endurance training ensures that you remain fit and focused even in the final rallies.
-
Strength and Explosiveness: Powerful shots like serves, groundstrokes, and net play require targeted strength exercises.
