Ballistic training focuses on improving the athlete’s explosiveness via jumps and throws with maximum speed. The word ballistics originates from the Greek word ballein, which means “to throw”. Ballistic training focuses on improving your explosiveness. During training the athlete accelerates an object faster than necessary. Moving its center of mass quickly from point A to…

Tennis Plyometric Training: Optimizing Neural Pathways
Tennis plyometric training focuses on optimizing neural pathways for maximum power output by maximizing contact transition speed. During tennis plyometric training the emphasis is on optimizing neural pathways. The athlete accelerates the speed of the movement so that it almost becomes reflexive in nature. To do this the resistance has to be lower than that…
