Recovery for the Tennis Player, Part 2
ITF Coaching & Sport Science Review, Vol.26, pp.7-9
2002
Abstract
In the previous issue of ITF Coaching and Sport Science Review we included an introductory piece on recovery and its importance in optimising tennis performance. In effect, the principle of recovery relates to the encouragement of adaptive processes after the presentation of a training stimulus. Adaptation to this stimulus is evidenced by improved performances - the goal of every tennis player's training program. The intention of this article is to therefore explore in greater depth how three different recovery modalities (passive rest, active rest and physical therapies) can best be used to enhance the physiological and neurologicalrecoverability/adaptability of a tennis player. The authors recognise the undoubted importance of appropriate nutrition and hydration in this regard yet are comforted by the wealth of readily accessible information on this matter, while in a future issue of ITF Coaching & Sport Science Review recovery techniques specific to the psychology of a player will be covered.
