“…The evaluation of different parameters associated with sports performance can provide coaches and players with important information for decision-making and the planning of training and competition [7]. This may also be essential for the selection of young talent [8,9], for the prevention of injuries due to overtraining [10] and to maintain the motivation [11].…”

The objective was to analyze anthropometric and physical performance variables as a function of chronological age and biological maturity in young Chilean tennis players. The study was observational, cross-sectional, with descriptive and analytical characteristics. Eighty-seven tennis players were evaluated (58 men 15.1 ± 0.8 years and 29 women, 15.3 ± 0.8 years). The measured anthropometric variables were a sprint test of 20m; a modified agility test; a sit-and-reach test and shoulder flexibility; manual grip strength; horizontal jump in feet; a medicine ball throw; a countermovement vertical jump; an abalakov vertical jump and a 20-m shuttle-run test. The growth velocity acceleration peak (APHV), skeletal muscle mass and fat mass were calculated, R2 and standard error of estimate (SEE) were examined. The results show that chronological age explained the anthropometric variables between 1 and 23% in men and 1 and 29% in women; by biological age, variables were explained between 3 and 53% in men and 2 and 42% in women. Of the physical performance variables, chronological age described between 2 and 24% of them in men and 1 and 29% in women; the same were explained by biological age between 1 and 19% in men and 1 and 26% in women. We conclude that anthropometric variables showed a better relationship with biological age, except for volume of fat tissue, while physical performance variables showed low association with both biological and chronological age.

“…The assessment of these physical attributes is considered crucial in both professional and youth tennis, providing coaches and players with essential information for decision-making, training, and competition planning (4)(5)(6)(7). Additionally, this evaluation plays a vital role in talent selection, injury prevention, and the maintenance of motivation (8)(9)(10)(11).…”

Background: Tennis, a sport demanding high levels of physical fitness, combines various aspects of athleticism such as agility, endurance, strength, and speed. The development of these attributes in junior players is crucial for their progress in the sport. Understanding the impact of structured tennis training on the physical fitness of junior players can provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of training programs and guide future coaching strategies. Objective: This study aimed to assess the effects of 1-year of tennis practice on the physical fitness of Tunisian junior players. Methods: Sixty-two healthy participants were enrolled, divided into two groups, tennis players (TP) (n = 36) and controls, where the participants sedentary, (n = 26), each group was divided into two subgroups U14 and U16 age-groups. Physical fitness tests were conducted at baseline (T0) and after one-year (T1), including standing long jump, countermovement jump, medicine ball throw (MBT), 5m, 10m, and 20m sprints, sideways shuffle, Zigzag, spider drill, 20m shuttle run, and sit and reach (SAR) tests. Results: Jump performances increased significantly for TP in U14 and U16 compared to controls at T0 and T1. In both age-groups, MBT performance increased significantly for TP, with U16 for both groups were higher at T0 and T1 (p<0.05). The 5m and 10m sprints increased significantly for TP in both age-groups, though controls decreased in the 5m sprint in U14 (p<0.05). The 20m sprint increased significantly for TP in U14 and U16 (p<0.05), with U16 outperforming U14 at T0 and T1 (p<0.05). Sideway shuffle and spider drill performances significantly improved for TP (p<0.05), while decreased in controls (p<0.05). The Zigzag test and the maximum oxygen intake increased significantly for TP across both age-groups at T0 and T1, whereas controls' performance decreased in U14 (p<0.05). Conclusion: TP's SAR was significantly better than controls (p<0.05). In conclusion, tennis training enhances young athletes' physical fitness, improving agility, sprinting, jumping, and endurance compared to controls, reporting better results in U16 compared to U14 for most of tests.
