“…Otra de las pruebas que se llevó a cabo en este estudio fue el SH, encontrando diferencias significativas en las variantes unilaterales después de las seis semanas de entrenamiento. En estos estudios con intervención de un programa neuromuscular (Dobos et al, 2021;Mainer-Pardos et al, 2024) se encontraron diferencias significativas tanto con la pierna dominante como con la no dominante. Estas mejoras podrían significar un aumento de la agilidad y rapidez de las deportistas, además de una mayor capacidad de absorción de los impactos al desplazarse por la pista acelerando, desacelerando o saltando.…”

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of an explosive strength training program on the physical performance of amateur padel players. Eight females amateur padel players, aged between 25 and 40, were randomly split up in two groups: a control group (CG, n=4) and an experimental group (EG, n=4). The experimental group performed a 6-week explosive strength training program. Physical performance variables were measured before and after the intervention using several assessments: Change of direction was gauged using a modified padel-specific test (Test 505) with the "COD Timer" application. Bilateral and unilateral horizontal jumps, along with the countermovement jump (CMJ), were measured using the "Myjump" application. Upper extremity strength was evaluated through overhead medicine ball throwing. The experimental group showed significant improvements in all analyzed variables except for the bilateral horizontal jump, dis-playing an overall enhancement in their performance following the intervention. These findings contribute to shedding light on this sport, especially within the amateur domain, as most social clubs rely on it for sustenance despite the limited available information.

“…Essential tennis skills, including technique, coordination, focus, and tactics, may not be used in long-lasting matches if the athlete is not in excellent condition due to rapid exhaustion, which can affect nearly all tennis-specific skills [3,10,11]. Therefore, factors that may influence tennis players' performance have been heavily studied [12][13][14]. Optimizing these aspects of performance presents a significant challenge for players, coaches, and trainers.…”

(1) Background: Tennis has changed toward power-driven gameplay, demanding a nuanced understanding of performance factors. This review explores the role of machine learning in enhancing tennis performance. (2) Methods: A systematic search identified articles utilizing machine learning in tennis performance analysis. (3) Results: Machine learning applications show promise in psychological state monitoring, talent identification, match outcome prediction, spatial and tactical analysis, and injury prevention. Coaches can leverage wearable technologies for personalized psychological state monitoring, data-driven talent identification, and tactical insights for informed decision-making. (4) Conclusions: Machine learning offers coaches insights to refine coaching methodologies and optimize player performance in tennis. By integrating these insights, coaches can adapt to the demands of the sport by improving the players’ outcomes. As technology progresses, continued exploration of machine learning’s potential in tennis is warranted for further advancements in performance optimization.

BackgroundAdolescent tennis players encounter critical physical demands, but the lack of comprehensive analysis of training types hampers the selection of optimal training programs. This study aims to conduct a systematic literature review to analyze the effectiveness and limitations of various training types on the physical demands of adolescent tennis players, summarizing the optimal training methods to enhance these physical qualities.MethodsFrom March 2024, a comprehensive search was conducted across four electronic databases: SCOPUS, PubMed, EBSCOhost (SPORTDiscus), and Web of Science. Additionally, Google Scholar and other sources of gray literature were referenced. Original research articles with an experimental design were included. The methodological quality of the included studies was evaluated using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale, and the overall scientific evidence was determined through the best evidence synthesis (BES).ResultsEighteen articles on exercise training met all inclusion criteria and were included in this systematic review. These studies maintained a high standard of quality, making their findings relatively credible. Among them, five studies investigated plyometric training, five focused on neuromuscular training, three explored functional training, two examined traditional strength training, and three assessed High-Intensity Interval Training.ConclusionTo enhance speed, strength, power, agility, and dynamic balance, it is recommended to prioritize plyometric training, neuromuscular training, and functional training over traditional tennis training. Functional training is particularly effective for improving flexibility and balance, while plyometric training is more suited for increasing power and speed. Neuromuscular training, when performed before routine workouts, is beneficial for enhancing speed, flexibility, and strength. Hard surface training is ideal for boosting power, whereas sand training excels in improving strength, speed, and balance. Combining HIIT with strength training is especially advantageous for enhancing short-distance sprinting, repeated sprint ability, and power. By appropriately combining and utilizing these training methods, the physical capabilities and sports performance of adolescent tennis players can be comprehensively optimized.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier CRD42024578147.
