Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction Tennis is a network sport that requires strength, endurance, agility, speed, skill, and other physical demands from participants. Tennis athletes are subject to injuries in their daily training, affecting their competitive performance. Objective Explore the correlation between the location of injuries and the cause of injuries in tennis players. Methods Tennis players were selected as the research subjects. In this study, a questionnaire was used to record tennis injuries. The rehabilitation treatment of tennis players after injuries was summarized and analyzed through statistical methods. Results The main forms of serious sports injuries caused by tennis players were acute and moderate injuries. The most common fractures are mainly ligament and tendon: joint ligament injury or tear, muscle ligament injury, bursitis, and soft tissue ligament contusion. The joints most commonly involved are knees, ankles, elbows, wrists, and shoulders. Conclusion The common causes of sports injuries in tennis players are the inaccuracy of technical movements, insufficient muscular strength, and insufficient strength for preparatory technical activities. In practice, it is recommended that athletes correct and standardize their movements. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
