Static Stretching for Injury Prevention EBook $2.99 6,480 words, PDF Flexibility training is possibly the least popular and the most underrated element of tennis fitness training. Even though you might have heard a lot of contradicting opinions about the importance of stretching in the injury prevention, it is obvious that the flexibility of the muscles and joints plays an important roll in any athletic movement. The muscles that are not tight can move more efficiently and in a bigger range of motion resulting in better performance and less injuries, because the limb can move further before an injury would occur. A flexible athlete is a supple athlete. With better flexibility your movement and agility on the court will improve. Another benefit of flexibility training is that the stretched muscles get more relaxed, and with relaxed muscles, it is easier to learn new skills. Your body awareness will increase and that itself will help with your movement and performance. |

More info | Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation EBook $2.99 4,630 words, PDF Tennis is a hard sport on your wrists, elbows, shoulders, and knees. However, is it really a problem of the sport, or could it be something else? Most of the time, the athlete’s body is already dysfunctional from the lifestyle that we live, and the sporting activity pushes it over the edge, which we would eventually encounter anyway. If you feel that you are developing pain symptoms of repetitive motions, you need to think about the exercises to stabilize your joints, rather then to sedate yourself and your joints with medications that only mask the underlying problem. In this ebook you will find many helpful exercises that will re-balance your body and prevent future overuse injuries and pains. In case of an acute injury, you will find some useful rehabilitation exercises to get you back in training as soon as possible. |
More info | Agility and Performance EBook $2.99 6,100 words, PDF Footwork is the key to great tennis, and yet, so many players neglect this fact. If you have an excellent stroke technique, but you cannot get to the ball on time and be balanced, it is not going to be a consistently good shot.

This will improve your speed and fitness at the same time, and you will become a better player almost immediately. Improving your footwork will also develop your agility, coordination, and balance, which is extremely important for higher levels of play. Additionally, you will learn more about the importance of sleep, hydration, nutrition and eye and brain exercises. |
