5.0 out of 5 stars Safe & Scientific Conditioning, 10 May 1999
By A Customer
Most conditioning methods recommended by even some of the leading lights in tennis have been a regurgitation of methods which was non-progressive and relied heavily on `past, successful experiences'. Afterall, he won with those exercises and practices, so I don't see why .... This book stays closely to the latest research so that the exercises thus recommended are safe, time-saving, objective and practical - the last a criteria for adaptation into actual court strategy w/o too much of a hindrance. Language is simple. Coaches worth their salt should have a serious look at it before dismissing it as another scientific hoodwink by a bunch of scientists who'd never played the real game, except after work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every tennis player and trainer must read this book and watch the DVD, 30 Dec 2007
By Rasih Bensan (Istanbul, Turkey) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book comes with a DVD. I have read the book and watched the DVD carefully several times and liked them very much. I have been playing tennis for many years somewhere between intermediate and advanced level. I thought I was doing everything necessary to keep in shape for tennis until I watched this DVD. Then I realized what I was lacking and doing wrong and revised my conditioning program accordingly. It immediately reflected favorably into my tennis performance.

The conditioning exercises are categorized in the DVD as static, dynamic, stretching, strength, endurance stamina etc. types. Exercises done without any instruments, others done with medicine balls, weights, tennis drills with tennis balls and racket etc. Of course they overlap. They are very clearly explained and demonstrated in a high quality picture and sound DVD.

I believe anybody who would perform these conditionings regularly 3 times a week in addition to playing tennis could become a top player. And top players of course regularly do them, otherwise they would not be top players.

So I highly recommend this book and its DVD to everybody interested in playing tennis.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clear and concise, good resource, 14 Dec 2008
By A. Fraser "ajrf_87" (G-Town, Lincolnshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Clear and concise information. Ideal for the tennis coach, fitness professional and players to improve their fitness.
The DVD is fantastic and provides a dynamic warm up routine, resistance training exercises etc
However, I gave this book 4 stars because it is nowhere near as good as Mark Kovacs' 'Tennis Training: Enhancing On-court Performance'. If you buy only one book about tennis-specific fitness, then this the book you have to buy. See my review for the book, type in 'Kovacs Tennis' on the search option.
Avoid SAQ Conditioning for tennis (with Roddick on the front cover).
