Twenty-eight well-trained male tennis players with a mean age of 15.09 ± 1.16years participated in this study and were assigned to either a training group performingNWU (n=14), or a group that followed DWU (n=15) before tennis-specific training, for 8weeks. Pretest and posttest included: speed (5, 10, and 20 m); modified 5-0-5 changeof direction (COD) test; bilateral/unilateral countermovement jump (CMJ); 2 kgoverhead, forehand and backhand-side medicine ball throw performance (MBT); servevelocity (SV), and shoulder strength and range-of-motion (ROM) performance (i.e.,internal (IR)/external (ER) rotation). Results showed that both groups, NWU and DWU,significantly improved their sprint performances (5 to 20 m; ( p < 0.05 ; d = 0.83 to1.32)), CMJ (bilateral and unilateral (dominant side) (p < 0.005; d = 1.27 to 1.59)),overhead MBT (p = 0.014; d = 1.02), and some shoulder strength (i.e., IR dominantside (D), ER D, ER/IR ratio (p < 0.05; d = 0.86 to 1.59)) and ROM (i.e., ER D, TROM D(p < 0.05; d = 0.80 to 1.02)) values. However, the interaction effects revealed thatNWU compared with DWU produced greater performance gains in most of theanalyzed parameters (i.e., 5-10 m sprint, CMJ, overhead MBT, serve speed). Theinclusion of a NWU characterized by a relatively low volume (~20 to 35 min), includinggeneral mobility, core and shoulder strength exercises, combined with neuromuscularrelatedexercises (e.g., plyometric and acceleration/deceleration/COD drills) can berecommended to obtain positive effects in tennis performance-related variables.
