Tennis is a sport where strength and power should be combined with agility and flexibility. It is necessary to generate the force from the ground up, then transmitting it to the torso, arm and reaching the racket.

In this sport incolved all the muscles of one side of the body, either with force or flexibility, with gestures that are repeated thorough times within the game through weeks, months and years.

It is necessary to reverse this muscle development somehow, otherwise the body will be every time less accurate.

Pilates is perfect for tennis players. With this method works several players into the professional circuit as Pablo Andújar, which used it as a complement to its set-up and as prevention in terms of injury concerns.
