“…The findings show that the passive strategy leads to more distances covered at high acceleration and deceleration, and also to a higher heart rate, blood lactate concentration, and rating of perceived effort (1.1-to 7.2-fold of the smallest worthwhile change). Additionally, the active strategy leads to a lower blood lactate concentration (-2.4-fold), but once more to a higher rating of perceived effort (2.4-fold) [4]. Overall, the previous studies show that passive and active playing strategies have an impact on external and internal loads in tennis.…”

“…The conditions were separated by 5 min rest periods. Before each condition, the players were instructed to apply either: (i) a passive, (ii) an active, or (iii) their own playing strategy to succeed, as previously conducted [4]. The instructions were given on cards and formulated in an open manner.…”

“…Using an open-source software (Kinovea, version 0.8.15. ), the following technical-tactical actions were determined from the video data according to previous tennis research [4]: relative rate of 1 st services, numbers of double faults, number of ground strokes as well as relative rates of forehands, backhands, volleys, winners, and errors. Additionally, the ball placements of the ground strokes were analyzed.…”

“…Unfortunately, both previous studies [4,16] failed to examine the effect of mixed playing strategy conditions in which passive competed against active players. Further, the vertical work performed during split steps, jumps, or services was not considered to quantify external loads [7].…”

“…The contrary strategy is to dominate the rallies by an active play involving powerful topspin strokes at sharp angles across the full court. The goal of this strategy is to force the opponent to errors or to directly win the points by oneself [4,17].…”

This study aimed to investigate the effects of different playing strategies on external and internal loads in female tennis players during match play. Also, the underlying effects on the technical-tactical actions and activity profiles were examined. Twelve well-trained female players (age: 25±5 years; maximum oxygen uptake: 40.9±4.3 ml/kg/min) played points against an opponent of similar ability outdoors on red-clay courts. The players played points over five playing conditions. Before each condition, the players were instructed to apply either a passive, an active, or their own playing strategy (free play) to succeed. The five conditions were played in a randomized order, whereas the condition with the own strategy was always played first and served as control. During play, the external and internal loads were investigated by 10 Hz global positioning system, 100 Hz inertial measurement unit, shortrange telemetry, capillary blood, and visual analog scale procedures. A 25 Hz video camera was used to examine the technical-tactical actions and activity profiles. Compared to the control condition, the passive, active, and mixed playing strategy conditions induce up to large effects on the external loads (running distances with high acceleration and deceleration), up to moderate effects on the internal loads (energy expenditures spent with high metabolic power, lactate concentration, and rating of effort), and up to very large effects on the technical-tactical actions (number of ground strokes and errors) and activity profiles (strokes per rally, rally duration, work to rest ratio, and effective playing time). Our study shows that passive, active, and mixed playing strategies have an impact on the external and internal loads, technical-tactical actions, and activity profiles of female tennis players during match play. This finding should be considered for practical purposes like match analyses and training procedures in the tennis environment.

Tennis is an intermittent sport involving different physical components, one of which is aerobic fitness. Scientific research has provided information about the physiological demands of tennis competition and some specific protocols have been developed to combine aerobic testing with technical efficiency testing and training. This paper will provide a rationale behind aerobic fitness training for tennis players.
