TENNIS SPECIFIC RELATIVE STRENGTH

T S R STRENGTH: It is a quality in which an individual  can play more number of strokes with ease and comfort with out committing errors and getting hurt/exhausted. Generally relative strength is the ability of the person to exert against resistance in relation to his body weight. An easy way to test this factor[in tennis specific situation] is to make a player to perform continuous ''clap floor push ups''. One who does more will be generally good at this factor, this can be assessed in a group by seeing their body weight.Lesser the body weight better the relative strength.So more number of ''clap floor push ups''  by  a tennis player is a vital factor to be developed along with other factors like skills,general endurance etc.

STRENGTH DEVELOPMENT-BASICS

              Muscles  respond and develop according to the type of demands made on them as per the ability of an athlete's muscles to grip, lift,push,or pull.The maximum resistance is called maximum strength,this is the basic component of strength qualities on which other components,explosive strength,strength endurance, and relative strength are developed. Based on the type, duration,intensity,direction of pull/push,bio-mechanical specificity these qualities as per the demands of the game/sports can be developed.It is up to the coaches to define the sports skills; determine the strength type requirements and design the strength training program for an athlete/tennis player/a decathlete etc.

Winning sports personality

ROUTE MAP FOR A WINNING SPORTS PERSONALITY:
Player's total integration of personality is important for a good performance.One may not be able to think one way and show an expression the other way.Every session of class is important for the development of personality. Classes should be enchanting and accomplishable. Coaches should fix a daily target at a rationale which is preconceived and the students should be homogeneously classified so that their daily tasks are fixed at an accomplishable level. Consequently the tasks/goals are elevated and raised for higher levels of performance.
This phenomenon will develop a personality which is sports oriented and developed with sports accomplishments.THIS KIND OF PSYCHOLOGICAL GROUNDING is important for future success in tough situations and equal competitions.

OPTIMUM AROUSAL AND BETTER PERFORMANCE

OPTIMUM AROUSAL AND BETTER PERFORMANCE.
In sports /game competition situation,depending on the type of game/sport,duration,intersity,nature, the level of arousal should be kept well guided and under control.More than the optimum arousal will result in co- contraction of the reciprocal groups and will end in uncoordinated movements and consequently loss of accuracy,poor performance.Less than the optimum arousal will result in lethargy and boredom to perform the event and consequently poor performance. Researchers in this area have empirically proved optimal arousal is associated with higher level of performance. Coaches,parents,players should be able to monitor the the level of arousal and keep it well balanced in the tough situations of the game-deciding sets,tie breakers ,break points etc. This habits should be inculcated very early stages of sports training,so that future problems can be avoided.

READINESS FOR SPORTS PERFORMANCE.

READINESS FOR SPORTS PERFORMANCE:Sports trainers may have to be aware of the fact, that the physiological,sociological,psychological readiness are inter-dependent on each other. A change in one aspect of readiness will definitely affect the other domain.It will be a waste of time and futile exercise for one to teach /coach a person who is not ready to receive the contents of the day's work. The preparation for readiness should have long term,intermediate and immediate objectives.The fulfillment of these objectives will make an athlete ready in a state of personality,physical condition,and psychological development/readiness for winning the game /sports.
