Static and Dynamic Stretching
Video description:
In the video clip “Static and Dynamic Stretching,” taken from an “On Court with USPTA” television show, both static and dynamic stretching are defined, and an explanation is given as to the effectiveness of each. You can also see several examples of static and dynamic stretching movements, which will help increase a player’s flexibility and range of motion.
Tip:
Flexibility is extremely important to a player’s performance on the tennis court. Having an increased range of motion can be the difference between a player being able to comfortably and easily get to a low, short ball near the net, or pulling a muscle and getting injured while lunging for the ball. In order to improve flexibility, players must stretch regularly, both before and after practices and matches.
Proper stretching not only loosens up the muscles before play, but it also warms up the body in preparation for the more intense and rigorous movements a player will use while playing. Among the thousands of tips offered at Tennisresources.com, you can find a number of helpful tips and examples on static and dynamic stretching. Simply type in the words “stretching” or “flexibility” into the Quick Search field, and you will find helpful videos featuring some of the world’s top professionals as they speak on the importance of stretching to stay healthy.
