Horizontal Abducted Internal Shoulder Rotation

Horizontal Abducted Internal Shoulder Rotation

The Horizontal Abducted Internal Shoulder Rotation is a resistance training exercise to strengthen muscles of the rotator cuff. Yet that’s not all. The Horizontal Abducted Internal Shoulder Rotation also improved the synergy of the neuromuscular system, muscular endurance and dynamic stabilization of the rotator cuff musculature. Because of all its benefits, most professional tennis players...
Horizontal Abducted External Shoulder Rotation

Horizontal Abducted External Shoulder Rotation

The Horizontal Abducted External Shoulder Rotation is an essential resistance training exercise to strengthen muscles of the rotator cuff. Apart from strengthening the external shoulder rotators, the horizontal abducted external shoulder rotation improves neuromuscular system efficiency by enhancing dynamic stabilization of the rotator cuff and overall muscular endurance. As a result you will be able...
Internal Shoulder Rotation

Internal Shoulder Rotation

The internal shoulder rotation is a resistance training exercise to strengthen the shoulder rotators and enhance function of the neuromuscular system. Same as the external shoulder rotation, the internal shoulder rotation is an essential resistance training exercise for tennis players because it allows the shoulder to generate high force output during groundstrokes and serve. The...
External Shoulder Rotation

External Shoulder Rotation

External shoulder rotation is a resistance training exercise to strengthen the external shoulder rotators, enhance synergy of the neuromuscular system and improve muscular endurance of the rotator cuff musculature. The external shoulder rotations are an essential exercise for every tennis player, regardless of skill level, because you can use it to avoid shoulder pain in the...
Toe Touches

Toe Touches

Toe touches is a calisthenic core training exercise to strengthen the distal (lower) end of the trunk flexor musculature used during shots. Aside from strengthening the core, you can use the toe touches to improve neuromuscular system efficiency, body control and flexibility. A strong core is essential for efficient neuromuscular system function, which impacts how...

Russian Twist | Tennis Conditioning

The Russian Twist is a resistance training exercise to strengthen the core, particularly the musculature used during powerful shots. The Russian Twist engages the trunk lateral flexor and trunk rotator musculature. While you can strengthen the core, the Russian Twist also improves your body control and flexibility. Often times, the Russian Twist is part of...
Lateral Step Up

Lateral Step Up

The lateral step up is a compound resistance training exercise to strengthen the hip abductors, knee- and hip extensors and enhance lateral movement capabilities. The lateral step up activates numerous muscle groups simultaneously, thereby improving neuromuscular system efficiency, and because of the single foot action it also improves dynamic stability. Since the lateral step up...
Forward Lunge

Forward Lunge

The forward lunge is a compound resistance training exercise to strengthen the hip- and knee extensors. Since the forward lunge is a compound exercise, which activates numerous muscle groups simultaneously, neuromuscular system efficiency, coordination and body control will improve. Additionally, the forward lunge can be used to improve flexibility of the glutes and it opens...
Traditional Deadlift

Traditional Deadlift

The traditional deadlift is a compound resistance training exercise to strengthen the hip- and knee extensors and prepare the athlete for Olympic lifts. Since the traditional deadlift activates numerous muscle groups simultaneously we can improve neuromuscular system efficiency, body control and coordination. The deadlift is fundamental for learning Olympic lifts starting from the floor and...
