The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of thera-band training on physical fitness and service capabilities in tennis players. The subjects were divided into two groups: thera-band group(n=7) and control group(n=7). Subjects participated in 10 weeks of thera-band training for a hour, 4 times a week. Thera-band training program consisted of 10 training programs with the intensity of 12RM, 3set(1-5 weeks) and 12RM, 4set(6-10 weeks). The change of physical fitness and service capabilities have been measured pre and post 10 weeks. Paired and independent t-test was performed at the 0.05 level of significance. Muscle endurance, power and shoulder flexibility statistically significantly increased after 10 weeks of thera-band training(p<.01). But muscle strength increased with no significance. Service speed(p<.01) and service score(p<.05) statistically significantly increased after 10 weeks of thera-band training. As a result, thera-band training is one of effective ways to improve physical fitness and service capabilities. Therefore, thera-band training helps tennis players to make powerful service by various physical fitness factors as well as service capabilities and to win a competition by upgrading players' speed and score.
