This is an excellent book on conditioning. It gets on with the exercises with clear instructions & visuals. The book also provides ample detail & theory for people interested to know more about the subject.

The DVD is well laid out & easy to navigate.

Every tennis player and trainer must read this book and watch the DVD - By: Rasih Bensan, 30 Dec 2007
This book comes with a DVD. I have read the book & watched the DVD carefully several times & liked them very much. I have been playing tennis for many years somewhere between intermediate & 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 & doing wrong & 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 ballls, weights, tennis drills with tennis ballls & racket etc. Of course they overlap. They are very clearly explained & demonstrated in a high quality picture & 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 & its DVD to everybody interested in playing tennis.
Safe & Scientific Conditioning - By: , 10 May 1999
Most conditioning methods recommended by even some of the leading lights in tennis have been a regurgitation of methods which was non-progressive & relied heavily on `past, successful experiences'. Afteralll, he won with those exercises & 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 & 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.
