SERVICE RETURN TRAINING

SERVICE RETURN TRAINING: This capasity is very well ''a trainable''  factor.But, one may have to be diligent and systematic in dealing the process.I would sum it up as a quality''GRASPING THE OPTIC-COGNITIVE CHAIN OF SEQUENCE'' of the server. The recever may have to get it''GRASP'' automated over a period of time.
1. Service return stroke may not always fulfill the bio-.mechanical requirement of a perfect stroke.
2. Service return skills depends on the individuals' capasity to maintain continuous visual contact with the ball and the body language connected with the serve sequence.
3.There may not be aback swing in service return strokes.
4.Service return training may have to start along with early stage ground stroke training [often this is
not the case with many coaches/academies.]
5.Mastery over Table tennis strokes may help to master service return skills.
6.Early stage SR training may start with hand feeding to pre-marked spots,single/double,with pre-mentioned sequence /with out sequence and random spots-with a distance from the net,inbetween net and serve line,from the service line,inbetween serve and base line,step by step,using racket with shot/medium/full back swings, with gradually increased progressive velocities.This course of PROGRESSION TO SKILL MASTERY '' may take a few weeks to attain ''PERFECT MASTERY WITH AUTOMATED SKILLS''Any questions please?

''HEIGHT'' IS THIS A PRIME FACTOR FOR HIGHER RANKING?

HEIGHT:-THE PRIME FACTOR ASSOCIATED WITH HIGHER RANKING IN TENNIS? NO

         Height is advantageous to hit high velocity first services,remaining other parameters like, on court speed,aglity,tennis specific factors like ''ACCURACY WITH CONSISTENCY COUPLED WITH ON COURT ENDURANCE'' remains ''CONSTANTS'', The apparent benefits of height, beyond 180 cms is just a'' mythical factor'' which can be nullified with ''SMART SERVICE RETURN SKILLS''
       Often, not only coaches, parents, the entire tennis fraternity celebrate/give undue importance to height   as a ''HUGE FACTOR''in a growing player at the early stages of tennis training and ''miss out'' a highly talented medium/short statured player by depriving him/her proper exposure to appropriate coaching.
       Hope Asian/Asean nations' ''TENNIS FRATERNITY'' may understand this phenomenen and improve their service return skills, so that more number of players can climb up to higher ranking. Any questions please?
       Next write up, How to develop service return skills?.

HIDDEN CAUSES LEADING TO PERFORMANCE DECLINE-HOW TO FIX IT

ISOLATED EXERCISES AND EQUIPMENTS FOR SPORTS SKILL DEVELOPMENT;-

       Often coaches,parents,players finds it easy and attractive to carry and perform certain sports specific movements[ For example-Forehand in Tennis] using stretchable materials and ends in a decline in over all performance due to following reasons.
1. They do more than the required number of repetitions.
2.Certain out comes of these exercises, like improved explosive strength,range of movement may interfere with the ''skill specific accuracy''
3.Exercises isolated to a muscle/group/region[upper body/lowerbody] may interfere with the kinetic chain of movements.
4.May lead to lopsided development in their body as well as neuro-muscular movement pathways and performance gets affected in the long run.

HOW TO FIX IT

1.These type of exercises should be performed with a sequence/pattern maintaining ceplo-caudal,proximo-distal  aspects taken care of diligently.
2.Atleast 50% of these type of exercise duration should be utilised for whole body movements using the body weight as resistance.
3.Each session of exercises should be concluded with stabilising ''wrap it up'' exercises.

ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE?

LIFE STYLE - ERGONOMICS AND ITS APPLICATIONS ON GENERAL FITNESS.

LIFE STYLE - ERGONOMICS AND ITS APPLICATIONS ON GENERAL FITNESS.

                 Inventions ,hi-tech appliances have ultimately changed the demands on the neuro-physiological/musculo-skeletal demands on the human body. Sports training sciences explains the finer points of training overloading, specificity, but the factor of reversibility[rest/recovery] and its impact on the human system is not well explained to the level of applications to day to day life.
                We travel in a road with a vehicle with hi-speed, giving a gliding effect, and move up to our office floor with a hi-speed elevators, escalators, and so many other appliances in our day today life. Physical exertion is almost nil in our day to day life, on the other side stress remains the same or raises, due to increased competition for better positions in life. Exercise has become away of life in societies, communities with appropriate knowhow of how to do /what to do/and how much to do. There is a lot product marketing in this area of business also.
             By careful planning of our home, workplace, mode of conveyance/transport, we can do a lot good to our health and maintain our fitness to an optimum level with out much exertion and expenses. This situation may lead to emergence of new disciplines, and knowledge sub- domains, in the field of building architecture, interior decoration, vehicle /furniture design and manufacturing.

TENNIS SPECIFIC FITNESS--AN OBSERVATION

         TS FITNESS: Often it becomes mandatory for the professionals in this area of operation to examine/assess the general fitness,tennis skill level separately on individual players objectively to enable their work goes well and appropriate to the individual needs. Often tennis coaches fail to train their wards all the parts of the game equally and this situation may, during match situations subject the players to undergo undue strain and stress while facing an oppenent who is equally good at all the strokes. To such players if TS fitness component of ''tennis specific explosive strength'' is focussed and trained ,the training may go lopsided and the end results may not be as desired.SEE THAT AN INDIVIDUAL PLAYER IS GOOD AT ALL THE ''COMPARTMENTS'' OF THE GAME SKILL,SAY BACKHAND TOP SPIN,FLAT,AND SLICE AND HAS GOT THE CAPASITY TO USE IN COMPETITIVE SITUATIONS.BEFORE SUBJECTING TO TS FITNESS TRAINING.Any questions please..?

SURFACE OF PLAY AND ITS IMPORTANCE

SURFACE FRICTION AND SLIPPAGE--ITS EFFECT ON SPORTS TRAINING AND RECOVERY:- In any sport involving open skills and rapid change of directions as per the oppenents' movement and deceptions may require a resilient surface,with optimum friction/slippage ratio between the sole of the footwear and surface of contact..Coaches may have to evolve some methods/interventions like suggesting a over size shoes and using a additional thicker socks,to nullify friction and create a slippage effect inside the shoe and skin .However best surface may be the natural clay, which may provide optimum friction and less taxing on the joints. ANY QUESTIONS?
