The Horizontal Abducted External Shoulder Rotation is an essential resistance training exercise to strengthen muscles of the rotator cuff. Apart from strengthening the external shoulder rotators, the horizontal abducted external shoulder rotation improves neuromuscular system efficiency by enhancing dynamic stabilization of the rotator cuff and overall muscular endurance. As a result you will be able…

Internal Shoulder Rotation
The internal shoulder rotation is a resistance training exercise to strengthen the shoulder rotators and enhance function of the neuromuscular system. Same as the external shoulder rotation, the internal shoulder rotation is an essential resistance training exercise for tennis players. It allows the shoulder to generate high force output during groundstrokes and serve. The internal…
External Shoulder Rotation
External shoulder rotation is a resistance training exercise to strengthen the external shoulder rotators, enhance synergy of the neuromuscular system and improve muscular endurance of the rotator cuff musculature. The external shoulder rotations are an essential exercise for every tennis player, regardless of skill level, because you can use it to avoid shoulder pain in the…
Toe Touches
Toe touches is a calisthenic core training exercise to strengthen the distal (lower) end of the trunk flexor musculature used during shots. Aside from strengthening the core, you can use the toe touches to improve neuromuscular system efficiency, body control and flexibility. A strong core is essential for efficient neuromuscular system function. It impacts how…
Russian Twist
The Russian Twist is a resistance training exercise to strengthen the core, particularly the musculature used during powerful shots. The Russian Twist engages the trunk lateral flexor and trunk rotator musculature. While you can strengthen the core, the Russian Twist also improves your body control and flexibility. Often times, the Russian Twist is part of…
Upright Row
The upright row is a compound resistance training exercise to strengthen the shoulder abductors and muscles of the shoulder girdle used during the serve. The upright row is an essential upper-body exercise because it activates muscles used during the serve and the pulling phase during Olympic lifts. Thereby improving strength, neuromuscular system efficiency, body control…
