Recommended weight for increasing racket weight according to age
The training methodology is ready. Improve!
When selecting the weight of the racket and determining the number of shots and sets, you need to start small (especially for children and teenagers) and gradually increase the weight as the muscles develop.
Children from 7 to 10 years old, depending on their physical development, can use 40 gram weights for a short time, very carefully, only after consultation and under the supervision of a trainer.
For tennis players, it is advisable to first consult with your tennis or fitness coach,
on the issues of selecting weights for weighting the racket and training features.
Beginners - 1-2 sets per day.
Play each set for 3-5 minutes or during training, hit the ball 20-30 times. Strikes must be made on the forehand, the backhand, the volleys, or serve, depending on what kind of stroke the tennis player wants to develop.
from 10 to 12 years - 40 grams
from 12 to 15 years - 40, 80 grams
from 15 to 18 years - 40, 80, 120 grams
18 and more - 40, 80, 120, 160 grams
The muscles developed help prevent typical injuries caused by right/left hitting not only by serving.
Professional tennis players, taking into account their individual physical characteristics, with a coach, or at their own discretion, determine the number or duration of exercises with weighted rackets and sets to develop the power of impact when hitting a serve, forehand, backhand or volley.
