How to do wrist strength training?

In our daily exercise, the wrist is a part that is very easy to be injured. The reason why many professional tennis players play better than amateur players is inseparable from their daily physical strength training, which allows them to have an advantage in reaction and speed. And wrist strength training can also prevent some dangers in sports. Below I will introduce the method of wrist strength training.

Swinging a heavy racket means swinging other rackets that are much heavier than a badminton racket, such as a tennis racket and a squash racket, or a very old iron badminton racket. In short, it is heavier than a commonly used racket. You can also wrap the head of a commonly used racket with a few layers of newspaper or half a racket cover. In this way, the modified racket head will be very heavy, and frequent swinging will help strengthen your wrist.

You can also practice wrist strength while practicing ball, that is, use a tennis racket or squash racket to practice. If you stick to this, your wrist strength will increase significantly. Note that the focus of this practice is wrist strength. During the swinging process, you should consciously use wrist strength to control it and try not to use arm strength.

Using equipment means practicing with a barbell or dumbbells, that is, holding the barbell or dumbbells in your hand and flexing and extending your wrists repeatedly. The advantage of using dumbbells is that you can only exercise your playing wrist, but this will generally result in a difference in the thickness of the two wrists. If this is a concern for you, exercise both wrists at the same time. During the practice, it is important to note that quick movements can train the explosive power of the wrist, while slower movements cannot train the explosive power, but they can train the wrist muscles, which is very helpful for the treatment of wrist injuries.

The above are two methods of wrist strength training. One is swinging a heavy racket, and the other is using equipment. Both methods are very effective for wrist training. Equipment exercises are the best way. Using dumbbells and barbells can fully improve the mobility of the wrists. Finally, the editor reminds everyone to pay more attention to protecting your wrists, and it is best to wear a wrist guard.
