Sequencing Effects of Neuromuscular Training on Physical Fitness in Youth Elite Tennis Players

| Resumo: | [EN] The aim of the present study was to analyze the effects of a 5-week neuromuscular training (NMT) implemented before or after a tennis session in pre-pubertal players on selected components of physical fitness. Sixteen elite and well-trained tennis players with a mean age of 12.9 ± 0.4 years participated in this study, and were assigned to either a training group performing NMT before tennis specific training (BT; n=8) or a group that conducted NMT after tennis specific training (AT; n=8). Pre and post-tests included: speed (5,10 and 20 m); modified 5-0-5 agility test; countermovement jump (CMJ); overhead medicine ball throw (MBT); and serve velocity (SV). Results showed that the BT group achieved positive effects from pre- to post-test measures in speed (d = 0.52, 0.32 and 1.08 for 5, 10 and 20 m respectively) 5-0-5 (d = 0.22), CMJ (d = 0.29), MBT (d = 0.51) and SV (d = 0.32), while trivial (10 m, 20 m, CMJ, SV, MBT) or negative effects (d = -0.19 and -0.24 for 5 m and 5- 0-5 respectively), while trivial or negative effects were reported for the AT group. The inclusion of a NMT session before the regular tennis training led to positive effects from pre- to post-test measures in performance-related variables (i.e., jump, sprint, change of direction capacity, as well as upper body power), while conducting the same exercise sessions after the regular tennis training was not accompanied by the same improvements. |
