PHYSICAL
TRAINING
Accumulate volume and intensity stimulus
Volume over intensity — high-volume low-intensity V2 aerobic base to build metabolic engine
Supercompensation and injury prevention
Reduce load to allow structural adaptation before next load block
Maximize metabolic efficiency within a single day
- morning: Tactical court session · lactate ≤2.5 mmol/L
- afternoon: Interval physical session · lactate 3.0 – 4.0 mmol/L
Active mobility, light jogging
Lactate clearing, psychological reset
Steady-state cardio, technical drills
Mitochondrial density, fat oxidation
Long-rally drills, sustained movement
Lactate threshold — the Challenger Grinder zone
0–4 shot explosive patterns, S+1 drills
VO2 Max, explosive power repeatability

→ PHYSICAL PRIORITIES
Base aeróbica (Zona 2) provavelmente subdimensionada em temporada de torneios — 77% do jogo abaixo de VT1. Aeróbico é o fundo de recuperação que sustenta o circuito ITF.
VO2max desconhecido — sem baseline para prescrição precisa de zonas. Mínimo competitivo: >50 ml/kg/min; alvo Luka: ≥60. Teste de campo prioritário.
Demanda glicolítica ITF subestimada — 2,0–2,8 breaks/set, mais pontos contestados que ATP. Protocolos de recuperação devem refletir esse volume real.
