| The Role Of Power In Tennis |
Power is important than anything else in the game of tennis. If you want to play good tennis, then power is very important. For good power, you should be equally fit too. There are many ways to increase your power on the field. When you start playing tennis and concentrate more on swinging the racket, at that time, you start swinging as hard as possible by putting great force on the racket. Continue doing this even though you get tired. Initially, you may get tired, but as soon as this becomes a daily routine, all your tiredness will be stopped and you will be able to sustain your energy till the last movement. This is what is called as power that helps you to maintain your energy till the last moment. With power and time, you will also move to playing aces and backhands without getting tired.
You can carry on the force in your legs to the racket in order to amplify the power in your strokes. The force should be generated everywhere right from your hips to your hands. Only then, you can hit the strokes harder. In addition, for power, your legs should be strong. The stronger your leg, higher is the power and so you will carry on the court. One of the exercises which are exceptionally good for legs is back squat. What you do in a back squat is, you take a barbell and position it above the shoulders on the backside of the neck. Your trap muscle must feel the bar. It should not have a rest on your vertebrate. If heaviness is taking a toll on you, then position the bar one inch lower than your shoulders. If you are still feeling the pain, then you can add a wrap or place a tower around the bar so that it will be far more comfortable.
Now, after this, place the feet such that its width and its shoulder’s width should be the same. Keeping the thighs exactly parallel to the ground and making your abs tight, bend your lower part of the body and your knees towards the ground. Then, again go back from where you started and make it a point to continue this process till you complete at least ten repetitions. If you are a beginner, by making use of light weights, do three sets of 12-15 reps each. |
