Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction: The stroke in tennis is a closed chain kinetic energy transfer starting from the lower limbs, through the trunk, to the upper limbs, and finally to the ball, requiring an upward coordinated muscular explosion. Due to its complex nature, it is believed that technical training can improve stability and accuracy in its players. Objective: Analyze the impacts of technical training on the physical fitness of college tennis players. Methods: Twenty tennis players from a tennis team at a university were selected and divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experiment lasted eight weeks. The experimental group received a technical training protocol on tennis strokes, while the control group received traditional physical training. Results: The hand-striking ability of the experimental group increased from 6.47 ± 2.02 to 8.67 ± 1.39 after four weeks and 10.56 ± 2.03 after eight weeks of training, while the control group increased from 4.42 ± 1.08 to 5.02 ± 0.59 in 4 weeks and 6.82 ± 1.46 after eight weeks of training. Conclusion: The application of technical movement training associated with traditional protocols is recommended to improve the physical fitness of athletes.
