DOC'S TIP OF THE DAY -- FLEXIBILITY TRAINING

Remember to do as much flexibility training as possible. Flexibility training is directly related to strength and muscle power. It is a fact that muscle stretching under tension is a critical part of stroke mechanics. The ability to increase range of motion at a body joint results in better storage of elastic energy, HENCE a greater degree of racquet displacement which helps move the racquet faster which improves power. An example of this training would be simple shoulder internal rotations with a stretch cord or a light dumbbell. Another would be core training. add
