Developing Power
with Medicine Balls
This month we continue Mark Kovacs series on physical training done entirely on court, with a segment on using medicine balls to develop power This series of articles was developed by Mark exclusively for Tennisplayer and is very different from the other classic training programs in our archives from Paul Roetert and Pat Etcheberry.

Based on the latest research in the field, this series shows players at any level how they can develop world class fitness using a few cones, medicine balls, rubber exercise tubing. It's simple and practical for players at all levels, as well as perfect for competitive players when traveling.
