Physiological and Psychological Fundamentals of Training Systems Used in Tennis at Beginner Level

Abstract

In the current game of tennis, it is very important for competitive players to possess a high level of perceptual, cognitive, and motor skills. To reach this level, many sciences have contributed to the substantiation of the training process: physiology, psychology, biochemistry, etc. In recent years, specialists have been concerned with identifying and determining new factors that facilitate the learning of technical elements and tactical actions used in tennis. Contemporary tennis, through its specificity, requires coaches to understand and have the ability to implement different forms of practice that will increase the efficiency of the tennis learning process. The present paper makes an analysis of specialized perceptions that underlie the tennis learning process and guide the optimization of the training process at the beginner level. Associations that lead to functional results are distinctive marks of sports performance in tennis. Thus, understanding how tasks, the environment, and the body interact to influence the formation of these synergies is essential. Depending on the results achieved, we will be able to determine the importance of developing coordination abilities (spatiotemporal orientation ability, the ability to combine and connect movements, balance ability, kinaesthetic differentiation ability, motor reaction ability, movement transformation ability, rhythmic ability) in order to optimize the game of tennis for children aged 8-10 years.
