Watch the below iTPA video demonstrating and discussing the Overhead Squat Stability Progression. This is a rather simple exercise, but is an important exercise for tennis athletes as it helps to develop functional flexibility, strength and stability in the lower body as well as control of the muscles around the lower back and abdominals (core). All these factors are important for every tennis player. This movement should be taught to tennis players and if performed at least three days per week will provide a noticeable benefit in only a few weeks. It is recommended to add this movement to a weekly routine to improve and/or maintain stability and mobility. Performing 2-3 sets of 10-12 repetitions is recommended. As the athlete improves, greater range of motion can be attempted and even adding resistance may be appropriate for more advanced athletes.
