Many people enjoy playing tennis both recreationally and professionally and although it is a really enjoyable sport, it’s important to take note that tennis is physically demanding. As a tennis player, you need exercises that focus on flexibility, cardiorespiratory endurance, general strength, and muscular endurance. You also need good strength and stability in the core and shoulder girdle in order to control the racket in your hand. This is super important to not only be good at the game, but without this foundation, your body cannot fully control the elbow and wrist, which can lead to additional injuries.
