Each exercise offers step-by-step descriptions and visually stunning anatomical illustrations highlighting the muscles in action. There are exercises for every area of the body, including lower body, core, shoulders, back, chest, arms and wrists. These are teamed with information on proper acceleration and deceleration mechanics, rational strengthening and lateral movement skills. All of which, help you cover the court with strength and efficiency. Illustrations of the active muscles for forehands, backhands, volleys and serves show you how each exercise is fundamentally linked to tennis performance. There are also exercises aimed to bolster the body against common tennis injuries and tips for proper recovery. Authors E.

A must-read for all!”
