Latissimus Dorsi (Lats): The lats, located in the back, play a role in the rotation of the torso and are engaged during various strokes in tennis. Deltoids: The deltoid muscles in the shoulders are essential for overhead movements like serving and smashing. Triceps Brachii: Situated at the back of the upper arm, the triceps are engaged during the extension phase of the arm, such as during serves and overhead shots.

Scene 7 (3m 26s)

[Audio] Third move in tennis using your muscles Lateral Movement (Side-to-Side): Muscles Involved: Quadriceps and Hamstrings: Engaged in the bending and straightening of the legs during lateral movements on the court. Adductor Muscles: Inner thigh muscles contribute to stability and lateral movements. Gastrocnemius and Soleus: Calf muscles help with push-off and quick changes in direction. Gluteus Medius: Located in the buttocks, these muscles assist in stabilizing the hips during lateral movements. Core Muscles: Abdominals and obliques provide stability and balance during side-to-side motions..

Scene 8 (4m 7s)
