Effects of Resisted vs. Conventional Sprint Training on Physical Fitness in Young Elite Tennis Players

Objective: To examine the association between phase angle (PhA) and bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) and components of physical performance in male youth soccer players. Design: Cross-sectional. Methods: Sixty-two players from two professional soccer academies were recruited. Electrical bioimpedance was used to obtain the PhA and BIVA. Body fat (BF) and lean soft tissue mass (LSTM) were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. All players completed physical tests including the standing long jump (SLJ), Carminatti’s test (peak speed at the end of the test, PST-CAR), 10 m and 30 m straight-line sprints, and repeated-sprint ability (RSA) test (RSAbest and RSAmean times). Results: Adjusting for chronological age, BF, and LSTM, multiple regression analysis outputs showed that PhA remained inversely related to RSAmean (β = −0.362; p < 0.001), RSAbest (β = −0.239; p = 0.020), 10 m (β = −0.379; p = 0.012), and 30 m (β = −0.438; p < 0.001) sprint times, while the association with PST-CAR and SLJ performance were statistically non-significant. In addition, BIVA showed that differences in confidence ellipses were found between athletes in the reference population and the study sample (p < 0.05). The tolerance ellipses indicated that the athletes in the present study had more total body water (TCW) and lower proportions of intracellular water (ICW) to extracellular water (ECW). The reference population had more TCW and ICW/ECW. Conclusions: Our results suggest that young soccer players with higher PhA values, indicating better cell integrity and functionality, have better performance in typical anaerobic running activities, such as sprinting speed and RSA performance, adjusted to age and body composition characteristics.

“…In total, 13 intervention programs were utilized in the included studies ( Table 2 ). These interventions included resisted training ( 24 ), core training ( 21 ), a combination of high-intensity intermittent rounds and tennis-specific training, tennis-specific exercises ( 19 ), plyometric training ( 18 ), a combination of explosive strength and repeated sprint training ( 17 ), neuromuscular warm-up (NWU) training, dynamic warm-up (DWU) training ( 25 ), neuromuscular training (NMT) prior to tennis-specific training, NMT post-tennis-specific training ( 20 ), various stretching exercises ( 22 ), high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and on-court tennis training (OTT) ( 23 ). The duration of the trials covered in the nine studies ranged from 4 to 8 weeks (mean 6.6 weeks).…”

BackgroundPhysical fitness comprises both health- and skill-related components that have been shown to correlate with the competitive ability of the athletes. Competitive ability of the athletes is strongly related to the positive or poor characteristics of physical fitness. Additionally, the adolescent stage is critical for the development of physical fitness. Physical fitness training for young tennis players should receive more attention. However, the current literature is deficient in in-depth reviews of the effects of exercise training on the physical fitness of young tennis players.ObjectiveThis review is aimed to investigate the effects of exercise training on physical fitness among young tennis players.MethodsFrom October 2020, a comprehensive search was undertaken in four electronic databases (SCOPUS, PubMed, EBSCOhost (SPORTDiscus), and CINAHL Plus) and also on Google Scholar and other sources of gray literature references. The methodological quality of included studies was assessed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database scale and the over scientific evidence was determined using the best evidence synthesis (BES). This review included only studies that employed an experimental design to assess the physical fitness components of young tennis players.ResultsNine articles on exercise training met all inclusion criteria and were included in this systematic review. The studies were of a high standard of quality. The research findings are relatively credible. The results indicated that speed (n = 8) and agility (n = 8) were the most often investigated performance characteristics in exercise training interventions with young tennis players, followed by power (n = 7), strength (n = 4), and flexibility (n = 1). Exercise training significantly increased the physical fitness of young tennis players in terms of speed and agility. There is a lack of evidence about strength and flexibility. Meanwhile, there is conflicting evidence regarding the effect on power, and yet there is no evidence regarding the effect of exercise training on endurance.ConclusionsThis systematic review established a compelling case for the beneficial effects of exercise training interventions on physical fitness in youngtennis players. The review identifies current research gaps (i.e., athlete gender, with a particular emphasis on female athletes) that should be addressed in future experimental studies.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero, identifier CRD 42020213145.

“…The increase in the physical abilities of young elite tennis players also occurred as a result of practicing using the resisted sprint training method (Moya-Ramon, Nakamura, Teixeira, Granacher, Santos-Rosa, Sanz-Rivas, & Fernandez-Fernandez, 2020). After undergoing a 6-week training program, physical abilities such as acceleration, running speed changed direction / agility, leg muscle power of the resistant sprint group whose loading using a weighted vest and also cords elastic was better than the group trained using conventional methods.…”

The problem raised is the absence of data on the implementation of prisoner parachute-assisted training methods that can increase the short running speed of amateur football players. This study aims to determine the effect of parachute resistance assisted training methods on running speed. This type of research is quantitative with a quasi-experimental research method with the modified pre-test-post-test group design. The subjects of this study were 10 male amateur football players aged 18-20 years. The test instrument in this study is to measure the running speed using the 30 meters sprint test. Data were analyzed using t-test paired sample t-test at a significance level of 5%. The results of data analysis showed that the parachute resistance assisted training method had an effect on running speed (sig value = 0.000). Thus, the parachute resistance assisted training method is suitable to be applied to increase the running speed of amateur football players. This research can be further developed by increasing the number of samples and applied to professional football players.
