Since I don't have that much time to train my stamina I've witnessed a drop in my level of tennis. I start breathing to heavily after long points and make stupid mistakes - well more than usual at least.
After playing with friends yesterday, we talked about how we breath while hitting. Most of us (3/4) including myself were mostly inhaling during preperation, holding breath while starting the swing and exhaling upon contact.
The last guy though was starting his exhale during his preparation around the time when the ball landed - so I tried it out and it worked very well ... my heartrate went down and I was more relaxed while hitting - after googling the topic, I found some articles that were promoting this kind of breathing too.
How do you breath ? Is exhaling before contact the "right" way and if so why do many pros seem to exhale upon contact (judging by the way they're grunting)
