Design, Implement, and Evaluate a Tennis Athlete Training Program

This presentation analyzes a training program designed for a 29-year-old male tennis athlete experiencing endurance issues. The program encompasses movement analysis, identifying key actions like split steps and groundstrokes, and the associated body kinetics. Pre- and post-tests assessed various fitness components, including aerobic and anaerobic capacity, flexibility, and strength. The presentation outlines a periodization plan with microcycles focused on enhancing physiological abilities, along with a nutrition plan emphasizing a balanced diet and specific food recommendations. The program also includes re-assessment strategies to monitor and optimize the athlete's performance. The analysis provides a comprehensive overview of training methodologies and their application in improving athletic performance, with a focus on tennis-specific demands.
