Abstract

Abstract. Successful coach should plan not only technical, tactical and physical preparation of top tennis players but consider their individual characteristics, style of play, sexual dimorphism, spatiotemporal parameters of movements, health status. Modern tennis characterized by high speed, different kind of shots and unexpected change in attacking and defensive actions, the tension of tactical struggle and emotional stress. For the last few years in the competitive professional female tennis the capacity was definitely increased. That`s why training activities of athletes’ physical abilities are manifested not in pure form, but in complex interaction. In specific situations, some coordination abilities, sensomotor reactions, strength of nervous processes can take a leading role. Coordinating abilities that require the manifestation of motor reactions and spatial and temporal attitudes are the basis of the competitive activity of top tennis players. The strength and mobility of nerve processes, as highly genetically determined properties of the nervous system, is one of the essential factors that determines individual differences in psychophysiological features. The previous studies proved that certain mental functions of humans are dependent on the development of their properties of nerve processes.
