Balance training for competitive tennis players
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
