Advantages of jumping circuits on site for tennis

There are innumerable ways that tennis players can get into shape. From training to strength training, drill exercises and more.

Everyone has their pros and disadvantages. And all can be used at different times of the year + at different stages of player development.

Recently, Plyometric and Jump Training has appeared as a popular training modality among tennis players. You will see many powerful obstacles, line hops and other types of jumping variations. It is proposed that this method of training will use some shortcomings in elastic abilities, energy perseverance and neuromuscular development.

There is one type of Plyo/Jump method that we use all year round (to some extent) and it has been shown to be invaluable – At the site of the jump circuits.

What is a jump circuit in place?

The perimeter on the spot is basically what sounds. It is a type of circuit training in which you perform different jumping exercises within – more – the same place, with short periods of rest between exercises and files.

Whether it is during the preparatory periods – or even on a tour of events (or part of the extended warm -ups) – we use these regularly to improve many factors.

While jumping on site can be plyometric, they are often not. Recall that a Plyo activity must meet certain criteria and many jumps on the spot (and generally jumps) are more ballistic (rather than brown).

Below I share a video from the jumps on the place we employ every week with our tennis players. But before, here are the benefits.

Advantages of jumping circuits on site

1 – less intense than other plyos

First, on -site jumps do not have the same type of Earth’s reaction forces as other forms of jumping activities such as horizontal boundaries and jump. For this reason, we generally classify them as low to slight intensity jumps. But just because they are not as intense as other forms of jumps + gasometrics does not mean they are not critical (they are … still reading).

2 – variety of exercise

Because they are not so intense, many different variations are borrowed. Some movements use smaller amplitudes that could focus on more lower leg (and especially the ankle complex). On the other hand, other jumps may be deeper – which in turn focuses on the knee and/or hip (plus the surrounding muscles). Getting different jumps into each circuit ensures that we get sufficient variability to solve all 3 joints + more muscle groups.

3 – multiple movement aircraft and directions

We can jump on two legs, on one leg or contralateral (for example, jumps of skaters – see down). These jumps can be done with vertical, rotary or front emphasis on the plane – all are Axis and Planes players on the tennis court. Not to mention that they perform jumps in different planes/directions, it ensures that the body is not lifting repeatedly (in court it gets enough). This can help reduce the risk of injury.
