4th year of fitness camp in Tatranska Lomnica
We have successfully completed the fourth year of the fitness camp, which HTS organizes annually for young athletes in Tatranska Lomnica. This traditional October event is designed to prepare players before the indoor season, with a focus on strengthening fitness and overall physical readiness.
Goals of the camp
The main objective of this event is to provide the players with quality fitness preparation for the upcoming season. For the younger players, the camp also allows them to work intensively on learning new elements that can improve their fitness. With this camp, the young athletes can focus solely on improving their physical abilities, which will prove to be extremely beneficial as the season progresses.
The course of the camp
At the beginning of the camp, all participating players underwent fitness testing. Each player underwent a comprehensive testing battery that provided a detailed look at their fitness level and quality of movement. Based on the results, we tailored the training program to be as effective as possible for each player individually.
The daily camp program included conditioning sessions focused on all movement skills, learning new skills, as well as tennis specific footwork. We also spent a lot of time working on mobility and proper movement patterns. Players were taught proper warm-ups and compensatory routines, which are essential for maintaining a healthy musculoskeletal system over the long term.
Hiking and evening programme
An important part of the camp was hiking in the mountain environment. This activity strengthens the endurance of the players, strengthens their musculoskeletal system and helps to improve coordination when moving in difficult terrain.
Each evening was dedicated to interesting topics in the field of sports. Each time, selected players prepared a presentation during the day, which they presented to the others in the evening. This format helped to enrich the participants with new knowledge and broaden their outlook in the field of sports training.
Weather and final impressions
This year the weather was exceptionally kind, which allowed us to fully enjoy each day of the camp. All participating players returned home not only in better shape, but also with unforgettable experiences and new knowledge that will surely help them in their sporting careers.
We are looking forward to the next edition and hope that we will be able to continue the successful tradition!
