Abstract

The integration of modern training techniques and methods—such as neuromuscular training, was identified as an advanced trends in sports science. This approach aimed to enhance the efficiency of both the nervous and muscular systems simultaneously through exercises that strengthened the connection between the brain and muscles, leading to improvements in the speed and accuracy of motor performance. This study examined the effect of neuromuscular training on the speed of motor response among tennis players, a sport that required rapid reaction and precise execution. The researcher noted a lack of Arabic studies that investigated the effect of such training on motor response speed among tennis players. Accordingly, the research problem was articulated in the following question: What is the effect of neuromuscular training on motor response speed in tennis?. The researcher employed an experimental approach using a single-group design with pre- and post-testing. The sample consisted of eight (8) players from the national youth tennis team. This experimental group was subjected to a specialized training program focused on enhancing balance, motor control, and reflexes. A series of tests were used to measure motor response speed, including the light reaction test, change-of-direction test, ball-and-racket interaction test, and a multi-target accuracy test. The results revealed statistically significant differences in favor of the experimental group in all four motor response tests, confirming the effectiveness of neuromuscular training in improving motor response speed. Based on these findings, the researcher recommended integrating this type of training into tennis player development programs to enhance technical performance and functional efficiency.
