This study aimed to define the movement analysis and metabolic model in tennis on hard courts and clay courts. Twenty-four tennis players were equipped with a 15 Hz GPS and a Polar. H7 and played a match on each playing surface. The average duration of matches was 76 Å} 24 (C) and 69 Å} 17 min (H). The maximum heart rate (HRmax) was 185 Å} 14 (C) and 178 Å} 10 bpm (H), the average heart rate (HRav) was 144 Å} 14 (C) and 139 Å} 12 bpm (H). The average metabolic power (MPav) was 3.93 Å} .34 (C) and 3.70 Å} .34 W Å~ kg−1 (H) (ES = .72, C > H, +6%). The ANOVA and the post hoc showed significant differences regarding the considered parameters on both the surfaces. The t-test highlighted significant surface-related differences (ES = .88, C > H, +26%) concerning accelerations performed between 50 and 60% of the maximum value, decelerations between 40 and 50% of the maximum (ES = 1.28, H > C, +37%), metabolic power between 0 and 10 W Å~ kg−1 (ES =

Objective: To compare the effects of Pilates ® , a 30 s static stretching protocol and elastic bands resistance training on lower and hand-grip strength, rachis morphology, flexibility and body balance among RRMS patients.Methods: Twenty-two subjects affected by relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS, EDSS ≤ 6) were randomly divided into 3 groups whose members each performed 16 weeks of training. Stabilometry, rachis morphology, sit and reach, handgrip and sit to stand tests were performed three times: T0, after a month of learning training protocols; T1, after eight weeks of training; and T2, after sixteen weeks of training. Results Conclusion:Static stretching, Pilates and resistance training are useful to increase the autonomy in the daily life of people with MS thanks to the adoption of these three different training methods.
