CASE STUDY — NATIONAL RANKED JUNIOR

FROM COMPENSATION TO PERFORMANCE

FROM COMPENSATION TO PERFORMANCE

Competitive junior tennis players and coach on court

A 14-year-old competitive player from Brazil presented with shoulder and forearm symptoms, calf tightness and a kinematic disconnect

BEFORE

BEFORE

Lumbar-dominant movement strategy

Restricted hip mobility

Upper-extremity dominant stroke production

Reduced kinetic-chain efficiency

Restricted movement at the set up for the stroke

Serve and Groundstrokes restricted spin and velocity

RECALIBRATION

RECALIBRATION

Clinical movement intervention
+
Kinetic-chain re-training
+
On-court technical integration

Efficient court coverage / Stroke set-Uup

Serve and Groundstrokes increase in spin and velocity

Lower recovery rate between the points

4 WEEK INTERVENTION RESULT

4 WEEK INTERVENTION RESULT

Hip and Leg Drive driven movement
Improved 3D Hip/Ankle Rotation
70% Reduction in Forearm Workload
+15% Serve and Groundstrokes Velocity

The case study demonstrates the central principle of the system: restore capacity, then build performance.
