Using the methods of literature, video analysis, experiment, investigation and mathematical statistics, this paper discusses the basic connotation of special physical fitness and competition load, and preliminarily establishes the evaluation index system of special physical fitness and competition load. This paper objectively evaluates the special physical fitness and competition load level of college tennis players in Jiangsu Province, provides the basis for the training and competition of college tennis players, and has certain value and significance for enriching and expanding the tennis training theory.
