Resistance training for tennis serve speed and accuracy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests different types of strength training to see which one improves how quickly and accurately young tennis players can serve. You'll train for several weeks and your serve will be measured before and after.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two different arm-training approaches—plyometric exercises (explosive, bouncy movements) versus traditional strength training—to see which better improves serve speed and arm power in competitive tennis players. If you're an experienced competitive player, this research could help you understand which training method works best for your serve.
This study compares two types of training—core strengthening versus shoulder strengthening—to see which one helps tennis players hit faster serves. If you're a young adult player with some experience and no recent injuries or intense strength training, you may be able to join.
This trial tests if adding core muscle exercises to your routine can improve your serve speed. If you play tennis regularly and want to boost your game, this study may help you serve harder.
This study compares two types of balance training to see which one better improves tennis players' ability to move quickly and change direction on court. You'll do either reactive balance exercises (responding to sudden movements) or traditional balance exercises over the study period.
This research study examines how your shoulder muscles and joints move during a tennis serve, comparing players with shoulder pain to those without. The goal is to better understand shoulder injuries in tennis and help prevent or treat them.
This trial looks at whether elastic band exercises with blood flow restriction (a special wrap that slows blood flow slightly) can help teen tennis players improve strength and recovery. It's designed for healthy adolescents who are already training regularly.
