In today's session, we explain how using the correct prompts you can prepare more efficiently for your groundstrokes by using bilateral symmetry

Bilateral symmetry and its relation to anatomy and biomechanics are highly relevant in the context of playing sports. Here's how it impacts sports performance:

1. Balance and Stability:
Bilateral symmetry contributes to an athlete's balance and stability, which are crucial in various sports. Having symmetrical body structures and limb positioning allows athletes to distribute their weight evenly and maintain equilibrium while moving, changing direction, or absorbing impact.

2. Coordinated Movements:
In sports, athletes need to execute precise and coordinated movements to excel. Bilateral symmetry ensures that both sides of the body work together harmoniously, allowing athletes to perform complex motions, such as throwing, swinging, and kicking, with better control and accuracy.

3. Strength and Power:
Symmetrical muscles on both sides of the body contribute to balanced strength and power development. Proper bilateral symmetry means that both arms and legs can generate force effectively, leading to improved performance in activities like lifting, jumping, and sprinting.

4. Fine Motor Skills:
Sports often require fine motor skills, such as catching a ball, dribbling, or aiming accurately. The bilateral symmetry in the hands and fingers allows athletes to perform these intricate movements with precision and control, enhancing their performance in sports like basketball, soccer, and baseball.

5. Injury Prevention:
Proper bilateral symmetry can help reduce the risk of injury in sports. When an athlete's body is balanced and movements are symmetrical, there is less strain on specific muscles or joints. This can lead to a decreased likelihood of overuse injuries or muscle imbalances.

6. Skill Transfer:
The symmetrical coordination and muscle development can facilitate skill transfer between the left and right sides of the body. Athletes can often adapt their learned techniques and skills to both sides, giving them a versatile edge during competition.

7. Reaction Time and Sensorimotor Integration:
Bilateral symmetry in the brain's motor and sensory areas enables quick reaction times. In sports that require rapid responses, such as tennis, table tennis, or basketball, athletes benefit from the brain's ability to process and execute movements efficiently.

8. Biomechanical Efficiency:
Having symmetrical body structures and movements can enhance biomechanical efficiency. Athletes can optimize their technique and energy expenditure, leading to improved performance and endurance in various sports.

Overall, bilateral symmetry plays a vital role in sports performance by providing athletes with balance, coordination, strength, and precision. It contributes to overall athletic abilities and helps reduce the risk of injuries, allowing athletes to excel in their chosen sports.

Today we look at the four common denominators of all great players, through the history of tennis.

I’ve been doing this for a few years now, and it’s made the greatest positive difference in both FH and BH! The total body balance is phenomenal. (4.5 level)

[harryharrison]

It's so obvious when you explain it yet something I've never thought of before - will definitely be trying to think about this next time I play. Thanks very much 👍

Brilliant. Brilliant! I started putting a one, two, or three fingers on the strings on the OHBH to have a nicer take back. But you are correct that the one finger symmetry does have an especially nice feel and rhythm to it.

Like this idea, will ask to cover this in la lección proxima semana!😂

very good information at the same time it forces to turn

I am a beginner, and on the forehand I use my left hand stretched out to track the ball (as if I’m going to catch it) so I can hit ball with enough space between the racket and me. this is how I learned but I am open to see if the technique here in this video will make me a better player and advance me forward quicker 😊

[jamesm]

Likely why the 2 handed backhand works so well.. it takes advantage of this.

[rogerfan]

How would you apply this to the takeback for the two-handed backhand?

[juanjosedonayre]

Thak you for the video Mr. We need your book instruction in spanish language. Thank you.

Perfect tip to unlock the other hemisfere of the brain !!
