Tennis
Speed, balance, agility, strength and power are required for successful performance on the tennis court and one of the most effective ways for players to work on these areas is through performing sports specific tennis movements with resistance bands.
Speed Bands ensure the leg muscles work against the resistance of the bands. This activates the fast-twitch muscle fibres in the hamstrings, quads, glutes and core muscles to help athletes increase their speed, explosive power and balance.
Tennis Speed Training
Training with the Speed Bands ensure all muscles used when sprinting and changing direction are targeted and strengthened.
Resistance band training provides one particular benefit that free weights do not and that is horizontal resistance. Free weights provide vertical resistance, however the ability to reduce, produce and stabilise horizontal force in various motions is a must have requirement in many sports like tennis.
This is what makes performing tennis exercises with Speed Bands so effective. They allow for lateral, forward and backward movements.
Once the bands are removed, movements around the court will be quicker and more explosive.
