This review found tennis injuries vary widely, often affecting lower limbs. More rigorous studies are needed to understand risk factors and prevent tennis injuries effectively.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Epidemiology
  • Injury Prevention

Background:

  • Tennis is a popular sport with a significant incidence of injuries.
  • Understanding injury patterns and risk factors is crucial for player safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review existing literature on tennis injuries.
  • To identify gaps in research regarding injury causes and prevention.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic search of three electronic databases was conducted from 1966 onwards.
  • Included case reports, laboratory studies, and epidemiological studies.

Main Results:

  • High variability in reported tennis injury incidence.
  • Most common injuries affect lower extremities, followed by upper extremities and trunk.

  • Limited longitudinal studies on risk factors and no randomized controlled trials on prevention.

    • Conclusions:

    • Current research on tennis injuries has significant limitations.
    • Methodologically sound studies are essential for identifying risk factors and developing effective prevention strategies.
