Power training exercises focus on maximizing the speed of the action, which can only be accomplished by efficient force transfer and hence energy transfer. Therefore, optimizing energy transfer is crucial for optimizing overall performance on the tennis court. Let’s define power as work (force x distance) over time or “Power = Work / Time” or…
