Musculoskeletal Injuries and Illness in Professional British Tennis Players: An Injury Surveillance Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Participation in tennis at elite levels comes with risk of health problems due to the high training volumes and physical demands of the sport. Injury surveillance is key to providing best practice athlete care in high performance sport. Minimizing time lost from training and competition due to illness or injury is the priority for professional tennis players and their performance teams. There is a gap in tennis literature investigating injury prevalence in professional tennis players.

Purpose

The primary aim of this study was to describe the incidence and prevalence of health conditions in elite tennis players over a full competition year. The injury and illness time loss and time modified from participation within British tennis players will provide baseline data
