Thera/Tubing band before playing game?

[Hi all 2]

Hello,

In some videos which is about pro's warm-up before game.. pros do their excerise/stretch(?) with Thera/Tubing band.

In my case, I just stretch my muscles.. wrist, hamstring, trunk and so on (not static streching, dynamic stretching)

What is the purpose/effect of using some elastic bands before playing tennis game?

Do you also do warm-up with bands??

When I was working through some shoulder and arm pain issues, I used the bands to do warm-up exercises prior to a match. This helped getting things warmed and loose before even starting court warmups.

Stretching with bands allows for greater resistance and muscle activation through a wider range of motion, so it is a more thorough warm-up. Is it a huge improvement over normal dynamic stretching, well technically yes but effectiveness depends on the players need really. Worth trying to incorporate bands in, especially for opening shoulders and hips.


Probably posting from the court between sets.
