Abstract:

The characteristics of tennis game require contrasting velocity, acceleration, deceleration, turns, changeovers, strokes, sprints, sliding and upper arm involvement, making players perform short bursts of high-intensity exercise interspersed with periods of rest or low-intensity activities over a prolonged period. Circuit training was designed to increase muscle strength, endurance and flexibility and significantly reduce workout time. The mechanical properties of clay and acrylic courts vary, which alters the movement patterns and style of play. When low friction and high-friction surfaces are analyzed , high-friction surfaces leads to kinematic changes such as lower attack angles (measured horizontally ), in addition to faster running speeds and movements. To determine the influence of the tennis court surface on the outcomes of circuit training among recreational tennis players. This was an experimental study in which 20 participants were recruited according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The pre test results were analyzed via a T test for agility, a 50 yard dash test for speed, a vertical jump test for lower limb strength, wiebe tennis performance strength tests for the forehand and back hand after 8 weeks of the circuit training protocol post test was analyzed . Comparison between pretest and posttest results within groups and between group A and Group B were not statistically significant. This study revealed that there was no significant improvement in either group.
