| Reviewer: T. Richardson, |
This book is REALLY comprehensive and covers every aspect of conditioning you can imagine. Major chapters include:
-warm-up and flexibility training (includes all the major stretches)
-agility and footwork (specific drills to improve your footwork)
-speed and quickness (more drills to increase your speediness)
-core training (a lot of tennis moves depend on a strong trunk)
-strength and power training (exercises to increase your upper and lower body strength)
-aerobic training (ways to increase your endurance)
Also included, a short section on injury prevention- only a page and a half on tennis elbow though (suggest Treat Your Own Tennis Elbow for more on that).
Just a ton of information here and I can't see anybody who plays tennis reading this book and not coming away with at least a few nuggets of wisdom. Get this book if you want to get in better physical shape to play tennis or if you're a coach and want more training tips and ideas. |
Safe & Scientific Conditioning

| Review Date: May 10, 1999 |
| Reviewer: uwk@moe.edu.sg, Sinagpore |
| Most conditioning methods recommended by even some of the leading lights in tennis have been a regurgitation of methods which was non-progressive and relied heavily on `past, successful experiences'. Afterall, he won with those exercises and practices, so I don't see why .... This book stays closely to the latest research so that the exercises thus recommended are safe, time-saving, objective and practical - the last a criteria for adaptation into actual court strategy w/o too much of a hindrance. Language is simple. Coaches worth their salt should have a serious look at it before dismissing it as another scientific hoodwink by a bunch of scientists who'd never played the real game, except after work. |
Amazing amount of info on the subject

| Reviewer: Gaetan Lion, |
Reading this book amazed me of how much more there is to training for tennis vs yesteryears. You can actually see how this fitness quick has taken over the ATP. When you compare Nadal, Djokovic, Roddick, and Blake to past champions such as McEnroe, Smith, Ashe, Laver, Newcomb, and Gimeno; Today's guys look like hulks vs a bunch of twigs. The overall body development including the quads and the upper body is now completely different.
This book tells you in detail how to get there. This includes improving every area of fitness including aerobic and anaerobic endurance and strength, flexibility, speed, and agility. Each chapter is dedicated to a specific area of fitness. Chapters outlining training schedule of champions are also informative. The chapter on how to prevent tennis injury is also excellent.
If you are a serious player or a coach, you will get a lot out of this book.

| Reviewer: XB, Tokyo, Japon |
| What a book! According to me, it is the best book to help an independant player to progress by himself. The explanations are very clear, simple. And the CD is fabulous: fabulous to watch the exercices, fabulous to avoid wrong positions, wrong movements,...Thank you very much for this conditionning Bible. |

| Reviewer: Stephen Wright, San Diego |
| Like the title states, this is a very complete and thorough conditioning book designed for the needs of the tennis player. With chapters on condition assesment, flexibility, strength, agility and others, a complete routine can be established that players of all skill levels will enjoy. I strongly recommened this book for players, or parents of, looking to compete at the highest levels. Being a 1-2 times a week player, some parts don't apply to me but will the most serious. The majority of this book can be used by players of every skill and dedication level. |
