Abstract
This research aimed to determine the effects of different ordered plyometric exercises on sprint, reactive agility, and ball speed in adolescent tennis players. Twenty-seven adolescent athletes were randomly divided into three groups: Upper-to-lower extremity plyometric training group (UL, n=9), lower-to-upper extremity plyometric training group (LU, n=9), and control group (CON, n=9). In addition to tennis training, different ordered plyometric trainings were applied for 6 weeks and 3 days a week. To determine the effect of the training, each group completed 10-meter sprint, reactive agility test, and forehand and backhand stroke ball speed measurements in the pre-post-test design. There was a significant improvement in sprint and reactive agility performance in the UL and LU groups (p .05). Significant group × time interactions were observed for reactive agility, and forehand strokes maximum ball speed (p<.05). These findings demonstrate that different ordered plyometric exercises applied in addition to tennis training improved athletic performance in both training groups, while forehand stroke ball speed increased only in the LU group. Strength and conditioning practitioners may prefer a plyometric training program that includes upper extremity exercises after lower extremity exercises to maximize speed, agility, and forehand stroke ball speed in adolescent tennis players.
