Improving Foot Speed When Play Tennis

There are three components to improve the foot speed when play tennis, namely acceleration, stride rate and stride length. This third component also applies to all sports. If the field size of 39 feet from the baseline to the net, it can be concluded that all ran in tennis including a constant acceleration to the deceleration required to achieve the position of hitting the ball.

In tennis, every point starts from a fixed position. For example, for the return of serve (service returns the opponent), volleyball, and the double game in front of the net. So start ability crucial.

Understanding of the acceleration is the ability to change the tempo of athletes running, such as improving the speed of each step.

Stride rate toward understanding how the speed of tennis leg spur.

Stride length toward understanding the length of each stride.

Agility is athlete's ability to change directions without losing speed. Research shows the tennis athletes to change direction on average 4-5 times per point. Movement in tennis include:
Lateral 48%
Forward 47%
Backward 5%

Expert on the movement (movement) specializing agility exercises as follows:
70% meet the beat of the speed (burst of speed) must be under 10 seconds
20% meet the beat of the speed (burst of speed) should be 10-20 seconds
10% up to the beat of the speed exceed 20 seconds.

Let's try to improving foot speed when you play tennis.
