Synchronizing Mind, Breath, and Movement: A Holistic Framework for High-Performance Tennis Training

Katsiaryna Starastsenka

Abstract: The article examines the Symbiotic Tennis Model-a comprehensive approach to preparing tennis players that integrates biomechanics, cognitive load, and emotional regulation into a unified training ecosystem. The relevance of this research stems from the fact that modern elite tennis is increasingly determined not by absolute shot speed but by an athlete?s ability to minimize errors under mounting stress and fatigue. The study aimed to develop and substantiate a methodology that synchronizes breath-anchoring, phased escalation of stress doses, HRV biofeedback, and dual-task training with traditional technical practice, enabling athletes to anticipate and compensate for motor and cognitive lapses before they occur. The novelty of the Symbiotic Tennis Model lies in its cyclical integration of four key components-breathing, attention, biomechanics, and tactics-via a phased transition from internal to open framework that progressively transfers automated skills into real-match conditions. Unlike disparate programs, this approach treats emotion, attention, and movement as interdependent links within a single feedback loop, creating a self-regulating adaptive circuit. The article will be beneficial to high-performance coaches, sports psychologists, and researchers in sports science who seek to integrate psychophysiological methods and biomechanical practices into tennis training.
