Oxygen uptake and heart rate response of 6 standardized tennis drills

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to compare the oxygen uptake of various on-court tennis drills. Eleven tennis players were monitored with a portable metabolic device to measure oxygen uptake of 6 different tennis drills at low and high speeds. The 6 drills were done with or without striking the ball, over half or full-width of the court, in attack or defense mode, using forehand or backhand strokes. Oxygen uptake values (mean ± SD) ranged from 33.8 ± 4.2 to 42.3 ± 5.1 mL·kg⁻¹·min⁻¹ when running at low speed on t… Show more

“…When running velocities were adjusted for maximal O 2 uptake during a straight-line incremental protocol, the pulmonary VO 2 for shuttle running was higher than for straight running [14]. A recent study also showed that when comparing shuttle exercise over a 3.5-m and a 7.0-m course at the same average running velocities and for the same total distances covered, the 3.5-m shuttle exercise induces a greater physiological response [20]. This occurs because of the greater number of 180°CODs required for the 3.5-m course.…”

“…A recent study found that when shuttle run distance was reduced from 7.0 to 3.5 m and completed at the same average running speed, the 3.5 m shuttles induced a greater physiological response (Bekraoui et al 2012). Hatamoto et al (2014) found that this greater physiological demand occurred even during walking velocities as low as 3 km h − 1 .…”

“…As the literature on youth tennis is sparse, it is not possible to compare these results to similar studies; however, the mean VO 2 values were lower than those reported for adults performing tennis drills. 3 The difference between adult and youth MET values (ΔMET) for 9-to 12-year-olds was 21% for practice and 24% for match play. Limitations include the small sample size in the 9-to 12-yearold age group, the participation of only Caucasian youth and analysis of data with sexes combined.…”

“…Studies on the EE of tennis have reported moderate and high levels of EE. [2][3][4][5][6] This wide range can be related to, complexity of the sport that has both anaerobic and aerobic demands, 5 the number of strokes per point, 4 duration of points which could be less than 10 seconds or much longer, 5 skill level of the participant, 7 whether the match was singles or doubles 2,6 and overall effort given by the player. To date, all of this data has been reported for adults.…”
