El Dr. Ernest Baiget, integrant del Grup de Recerca en Ciències de l’Esport INEFC Barcelona acaba de publicar un nou article a la revista Strength and Conditioning Journal. L’article Minimizing Maladaptations Derived From Tennis Serve Training and Competition Loads proposa abordar de manera holística l’entrenament del servei. Per minimitzar les adaptacions musculoesquelètiques perjudicials i maximitzar el rendiment, es recomana un enfocament multi perspectiu a l’hora de dissenyar un programa d’entrenament de servei per a jugadors de tennis júnior. L’article proposa recomanacions metodològiques que es poden incloure en aquests programes. Es descriuen les avantatges d’incorporar tasques d’entrenament de força per minimitzar les asimetries i augmentar el rendiment. A més, es proposen protocols de prevenció de lesions a la pista per orientar-se a estructures corporals alterades com a conseqüència de les elevades càrregues competitives. Finalment, es recomanen estratègies de gestió de la càrrega per tal de garantir que l’entrenament estigui controlat i organitzat adequadament. El treball es fruit d’una col·laboració entre el nostre grup de recerca i el Centre d’Estudis i Esport i Activitat Física (CEEAF) de la UVic-UCC.
Abstract:
Junior tennis players perform many high-intensity serves during practice and competition. These demands can potentially put specific musculoskeletal structures at risk of developing negative adaptations that can increase the likelihood of injury. In addition, serve velocity enhancement sessions commonly include motion-specific resistance training approaches that can increase the load on these already at-risk muscles and joints. Therefore, it is essential to address holistically the optimization of serve training. To minimize harmful musculoskeletal adaptations and maximize performance, a multiperspective approach is advised when designing a serve training program for junior tennis players. This paper will propose methodological recommendations that can be included in these programs. Examples and suggestions include the benefits of incorporating general strength training tasks to minimize asymmetries and build robustness. Furthermore, on-court injury prevention protocols are proposed to target specific altered body structures and overall serving loads. Finally, load management strategies should ensure that training is controlled and organized appropriately.
