Build the physical capacity to reach the ball, control the stop and recover for the next shot.
Advanced Concepts of Strength & Conditioning for Tennis, Second Edition, by Philipp Halfmann connects the demands of tennis with the decisions behind an effective physical training programm. Written for tennis coaches, strength and conditioning professionals, and competitive players, it explains how to identify an athlete's needs, select appropriate exercises and organize training around practice, matches and recovery.
Across 18 chapters, the book develops a practical system for assessment, exercise selection, programm design and ongoing adjustment. Strength, power, movement quality and conditioning are examined in relation to the tasks players face on court: accelerating over short distances, braking before contact, changing direction, producing force and sustaining repeated efforts.
The second edition includes:
- Assessment methods that help turn test results and court observations into training priorities.
- Warm-up, mobility and recovery guidance, alongside nutrition and hydration principles.
- Strength, ballistic and plyometric training, with detailed exercise instructions and progression criteria.
- Speed, deceleration, change-of-direction and reactive-agility methods that distinguish physical execution from perception and decision-making.
- An illustrated library of 273 numbered exercise variations, organized into 56 movement families and integrated into the relevant training chapters.
- Fourteen workout frameworks, with guidance for choosing and adapting sessions to the athlete's objective, tennis load and readiness.
- Planning methods for individual sessions, training weeks and the competitive year.
- A four-week worked case showing how assessment, workout selection and monitoring change the programme when the athlete's actual schedule differs from the original plan.
Exercise descriptions distinguish setup, support position, gaze, equipment and movement demands, helping readers select the intended variation. QR codes and companion links provide access to online demonstrations, testing protocols, workouts and planning resources.
The planning chapters show how to preserve useful training while responding to fatigue, travel and competition. Readers learn what to develop, what to maintain, when to progress and when to reduce the dose and how to evaluate whether the chosen work addresses the player's needs.
For coaches building a complete training programme or players seeking a clearer understanding of their physical preparation, this second edition provides detailed instruction and a structured process for making better training decisions.
