CourtFit editorial

Rotation and anti-rotation in strength training

Rotation describes producing or controlling turning; anti-rotation describes resisting unwanted turning. Both can be useful labels for different tasks.

The decision in context

Neither label says that one is better for every racket sport.

How to apply it this week

A tennis serve, a squash reach and a pickleball exchange place the trunk in different contexts. The exercise name is only a clue.

The trade-off to name

Resisting movement can simplify the task; producing movement can match another aim but adds timing and control demands.

Where the answer stops
