A six-week neuromuscular and performance training program improves speed, agility, dynamic balance, and core endurance in junior tennis players

Tennis requires speed, agility, and explosive power. Few studies have assessed the effects of a training program in junior players who are not on an elite or national level. We evaluated the impact of a program that combined components of a knee ligament injury prevention program with other exercises to improve athletic performance indicators. We hypothesized that this program would significantly improve dynamic single-leg balance and function, correct lower limb asymmetry, enhance speed and agility, and improve core endurance. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/275655322_A_six-week_neuromuscular_and_performance_training_program_improves_speed_agility_dynamic_balance_and_core_endurance_in_junior_tennis_players
