<p>Musculoskeletal injuries in real tennis</p>

Abstract

Introduction: Real tennis is a growing, unique, and well-established sport. To date, there has been no epidemiological data on real tennis injuries. The primary aim of this retrospective study is to record the incidence and document any trends in real tennis musculoskeletal injuries, so as to improve injury awareness of common and possibly preventable injuries. Methods: A surveillance questionnaire e-mailed to 2,036 Tennis & Rackets Association members to retrospectively capture injuries sustained by amateur and professional real tennis players over their playing careers. Results: A total of 485 (438 males and 47 females) questionnaires were fully completed over 4 weeks. A total of 662 musculoskeletal injuries were recorded with a mean of 1.4 injuries per player (range 0–7). The incidence of sustaining an acute real tennis musculoskeletal injury is 0.4/1000 hrs. The three main anatomical locations reported injured were elbow 15.6% (103/662), knee 11.6% (77/662), and face 10.0% (66/662). The most common structures reported injured were muscle 24% (161/661), tendon 23.4% (155/661), ligament 7.0% (46/661), soft tissue bruising 6.5% (43/661), and eye 6.2% (41/661). The majority of the upper limb injuries were gradual onset (64.7%, 143/221), and the lower limb injuries were sudden onset (72.0%, 188/261). Conclusion: This study uniquely provides valuable preliminary data on the incidence and patterns of musculoskeletal injuries in real tennis players. In addition, it highlights a number of reported eye injuries. The study is also a benchmark for future prospective studies on academy and professional real tennis players.

Optimized Workflow for Multiplexed Phosphorylation Analysis of TMT-Labeled Peptides Using High-Field Asymmetric Waveform Ion Mobility Spectrometry

“…One benefit of the new FAIMS-Pro device was the ability to quickly switch between different CVs within a single method (dwell time ~25 ms). 29 We and others previously showed that combining multiple CVs within a single run or between runs improved whole proteome coverage. [11][12][13] Therefore, we next tested if increasing the number of CVs within a single method (multi-CV method) increased the unique peptide identifications for nonderivatized (label-free) and derivatized (TMT and TMTpro) samples.…”

Lesiones en el tenis júnior y universitario. Revisión bibliográfica y propuesta práctica de prevención

“…prevención general. El programa de prevención es la adaptación realizada por Finch (2006) del modelo de Van Mechelen et al (1992) con la incorporación de los conceptos del comportamiento en la toma de riesgos y el cumplimiento del individuo de los factores limitantes en la prevención de lesiones deportivas aportándole eficacia, eficiencia y cumplimiento al proceso de prevención (Van Tiggelen et al, 2008;Pas, Bodde, Kerkhoffs, Pluim,, Tiemessen, Verhagen & Gouttebarge, 2018;Fu, Ellenbecker, Renstrom, Windler & Dines, 2018;Humphrey, Humphrey, Greenwood, Anderson, Markus & Ajuied, 2019).…”

Prevalence Of Musculoskeletal Problems Among Tennis Players In Twin Cities Of Pakistan

“…The repetitive nature of these actions, without adequate healing and recovery time, predominantly contributes to these injuries (8). Research in this domain has been extensive, with studies such as those by Kaiser et al ( 9), Humphrey et al (10), Talha et al (11), Toma et al (12), and Moussa et al (13) providing valuable insights into the prevalence and nature of musculoskeletal injuries among tennis and other sports players. Kaiser et al highlighted the distribution of acute injuries in recreational tennis players, noting a significant portion of lower extremity injuries (9).…”

“…Kaiser et al highlighted the distribution of acute injuries in recreational tennis players, noting a significant portion of lower extremity injuries (9). Humphrey et al reported on the injuries sustained by amateur and professional real tennis players, indicating a mix of gradual and sudden onset injuries across different limbs (10). Talha et al focused on table tennis players, finding a high incidence of musculoskeletal pain, particularly in the spine and limbs (11).…”
