Abstract
Collegiate tennis is a competitive sport requiring a unique balance of muscular strength, muscular endurance, and cardiovascular ability. In competition, many tennis players find themselves fatigued in the final stages of a tennis match, thus causing impaired performance. The purpose of this study was to develop an advanced strength and conditioning plan for improving the fitness of a male collegiate tennis athlete. This study was performed through the use of a comprehensive literature review, and is limited in that the plan developed was theoretical, and as such no definitive statement as to its efficacy can be made. This study is significant in that the program developed could be applied to improve the performance of a collegiate male tennis athlete and that even though the program is targeted toward a collegiate male tennis athlete, the information could be generalized and applied by anyone with the specific goal of improving performance in the sport of tennis.
