Postural control, Physical preparation, Balance, ProphylaxisAbstract
The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the benefits of single-leg training for the physical preparation of tennis players resulting from simple exercises that can be incorporated in any tennis session. The goal of these exercises will be twofold: the prevention of injuries and the improvement of neuromuscular control.
