Introduction: Many studies demonstrated that the core training could enhance muscle contraction speed, lumbar stability, limb power as well as body stability, which was similar to what resistance exercise training could benefit on tennis skills. However, it was unknown whether the long term core exercise combined with resistance exercise training might result in enhanced tennis skill performance. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of six-week core exercise combined with resistance exercise training on tennis skill performance in elite college female tennis players. Methods: Twenty-three college female tennis players (age: 22.4 ± 2.4yrs, height: 166.8 ± 4.7cm, weight: 57.5 ± 5.6kg, International Tennis Number [ITN]: 6.0 ± 0.7) were assigned into either core exercise training group (C, N=8), core exercise with resistance exercise training group (CR, N=8), or control group (CON, N=7). The regular tennis training was carried out in three groups with additional core exercise or resistance exercise (90 minutes/session, 3 session/week) performed in C or CR group. ITN test including groundstroke depth, groundstroke accuracy, volley depth, serve and mobility were performed pre and post training. Results: The groundstroke depth, groundstroke accuracy, volley depth, serve and mobility were significantly improved post training in CR group (p < .05). The rate of progress of ITN level was greater in CR group than that in C and CON groups (C: 10.2%, CR: 32.3%, CON: 7.0%, p < .05). Conclusion: Six weeks of core exercise combined with resistance exercise training could significantly enhance tennis skill performance in elite college female tennis players. |
