THE INSTITUT CATALÀ DEL PEU CARRIES OUT A STUDY TO THE TENNIS PLAYER VICTORIA JIMÉNEZ KASINTSEVA.

A few days ago, the Andorran tennis player Victoria Jiménez Kasintseva, visited the Institut Català del Peu to carry out a 3D tennis biomechanical study. The bright young hope of tennis came with her trainer Jordi Arrese, (Spanish professional tennis ex player and he was a silver medal at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games). With only 16 years old she leads her standing ranking after her sporting achievement in the Open Australia Junior where she got the title. Victoria Jiménez Kasintseva  with only 14 years old was number one in the world in Junior standing (until 18 years old), and nothing less in which she will carry out on that week her professional debut, in the Amiens, France W15+H. Vicky was born in Andorra, she nearly got the title with record of precociousness: at 14 years old, seven months and one day; only the North American Coco Gauff became the best Junior in the world being the youngest tennis player, she got this title in 2018, with only 14 years old, four months and four days. She has very good physical conditions (she is 1,80 cm tall), Jiménez Kasintseva is training in Sitges under the protection of her father, Joan Jiménez and with the technical advice of Jordi Arrese. She is fluent in Spanish, Catalan, French, English and Russian (her mother has this nationality), she admires Rafael Nadal and Petra Kvitova and she will have excellent prospects, like them: “Australia has been my first great success, but there are still three great tennis competitions to play and to try to do as best as possible”. And the next great competition will be in her favorite surface: Roland Garros, on clay. The Institut Català del Peu, through  its Sporting Biomechanical Department (Fitmetric), has studied meticulously every detail in order to help  her preventing lesions in the back and others related to tennis with the aim of performing well at 100% in future competitions. Different movements and technical gestures are analyzed with the 3D most sophisticated biomechanical technology in order to prevent lesions, mainly in the spinal erectors, which we measure its activity with surface muscular electromyography, all this in an integrated way which makes easier the analysis and guidelines determination, charges adjustment, etc. The staff of the Institut Català del Peu and its Biomechanical Department, Fitmetric, is very grateful, as always, to receive sportsmen/sportswomen of such considerable stature, who are every time more conscious of the importance of carrying out this kind of surveys in order that anything will prevent them to perform well and to achieve their sporting aims.
