Tennis Performance Enhancement Through Functional Integrated Training System

Abstract

Tennis has evolved from a sport primarily dependent on technique and tactics into a comprehensive high-intensity intermittent activity that poses comprehensive challenges to athletes' physical, psychological, and cognitive capabilities. This paper aims to construct an evidence-based integrated training theoretical framework with the dual goals of enhancing sports performance and preventing injuries, by systematically reviewing recent empirical research on tennis-specific physical training. The article first analyzes the physiological metabolism and biomechanical demands of tennis, then demonstrates the mechanisms and empirical effects of functional training methods including core training, neuromuscular training, plyometric training, high-intensity interval training, as well as scientific monitoring and periodization. The review indicates that isolated development of single physical qualities can no longer meet the demands of modern tennis competition;instead an integrated training paradigm emphasizing movement quality, neuromuscular control, kinetic chain efficiency, and sport-specific relevance. This paradigm requires training design to simulate the energy metabolism characteristics, biomechanical patterns of technical movements, and psychological cognitive stress of tennis matches, while achieving individualization and optimization through scientific periodization and multi-dimensional monitoring. This paper ultimately proposes a set of actionable functional training principles and recommendations, aiming to provide coaches, athletes, and researchers with a logically rigorous, evidence-based guidance framework to promote the scientization of tennis physical training.
