Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tennis is a racket sport that can be played on a competitive/elite basis but is also easily played in a recreational way. It can be considered a “low-impact” sport, suitable for all ages and skill levels and not dependent on youth or strength. By presenting a meaningful physiological demand, it can be considered a good sport/exercise for maintaining health, fitness, strength, agility, and conditioning. It also allows players to enhance their balance and motor control and decrease the odds of cardiovascular diseases, mortality, and osteoporosis. Additionally, it is also proven to present social and psychological benefits. Thus, the aim of this Special Issue is to publish multi-disciplinary research focused on tennis by relating this sport to overall health (mental and physical) and performance. We welcome studies related to physiological effects, benefits/risks, motor control adaptations, biomechanics, injury prevention, psychological/social benefits, training programs.
