Core, Core stability, Balance, Injury preventionAbstract
This article focuses on the importance of incorporating core stability exercises in to a tennis player’s work out program. It concentrates on the function of the core, exercise examples and why it is specific to improving tennis performance and injury prevention. Exercises are taken from My PocketCoach (2012) to highlight ways to improve this area and demonstrate exactly how to train the core. Movement in tennis begins, and ends at the core of the body.
