“…Apart from these important objective and subjective measurements, studies have recently increasingly reported the use of other popular scales in sports, such as PACES, which assesses the levels of enjoyment relative to a given activity [12,16]. The findings of this study that the OTDs with CE groups for all OTDs types had higher physical enjoyment responses (Figure 1) and lower perceived exertion compared to OTDs without CE are consistent with studies of game-based high intensity training drills [11,16].…”

“…OTDs are time-efficient because they simultaneously develop physical fitness, technical skill, and tactical awareness [9,10]. Moreover, it is thought that these types of training drills are more motivating and enjoyable compared to off-court training interventions [11,12]. Many studies have confirmed the positive training effect of on-court drills among young tennis players in improving their game-based technical ability, which is directly related to match performance [7,9,10].…”

This study aimed to compare the effects of coach encouragement during the on-court tennis training drills (OTDs) on the psychophysiological and performance responses of young tennis players. Twenty-five young male tennis players (14.0 ± 0.3 years of age) performed six bouts of each of the four common OTDs; Star, Suicide, Box and Big X (30:60 s; 1:2 work to rest ratio). The heart rate (HR) and total distance covered were monitored using two portable multivariable integrated 10 Hz GPS monitoring devices during all OTDs, and the rating of perceived exertion (RPE-10) and short form Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES) values were determined after each OTDs bout. The results demonstrated that OTDs with coach encouragement induced significantly higher psychophysiological and performance responses compared to OTDs without coach encouragement (p < 0.05). The results of this study confirm that coach encouragement improves the intensity, performance and physical enjoyment level during OTDs. These findings might inform training practices in youth tennis players in order to improve tennis performance.

“…For example, on slower surfaces (clay court), playing time, total match time, and average rally time is longer, resulting in increased physical strain from a large number of strokes and short- and high-intensity activities [ 5 , 7 , 35 ]. In addition, clay court surfaces, including longer rallies and shorter rest times, led to performing a slower game and shot rhythm and increased HR and higher blood–lactate levels and higher PACES responses in comparison to playing on a hard court surface [ 5 , 36 ]. The different results from the court-surface characteristics might explain the game rhythm during match-play.…”

This study aimed to compare the effects of playing tennis using low-compression balls (Lc-Balls) and standard balls (St-Balls) on psychophysiological responses and match characteristics among recreational adult tennis players. Participants (N = 24; age: 20.5 ± 1.3 years) were randomly matched to play two singles matches over three sets: one match was played with a Lc-Ball and one match was played with a St-Ball, resulting in twenty-four matches. Heart-rate responses and match characteristics were assessed during each match. Post-match measures included retrospective assessments of perceived exertion, ratings of enjoyment towards physical activity, and ratings of mental effort and mood. Results showed higher psychophysiological responses and more intensive play during the game when playing with the Lc-Ball (p ≤ 0.05, d values ranging from 0.24 to 1.93 [small to very large effect]). Further, playing with a Lc-Ball related to reporting a lower rating of perceived exertion (p = 0.00, d = 0.90 [moderate effect]) and greater physical enjoyment (p = 0.00, d = 1.73 [large effect]). Playing with the St-Ball was associated with higher unpleasant mood responses including depression, tension, anger, and fatigue. In conclusion, the results suggest that using the Lc-Ball may lead to better match performance with higher enjoyment in the tennis match-play in recreational adult tennis players.

“…Competitive tennis is becoming increasingly dynamic, demanding faster game actions with more powerful skills involved [ 1 ]. Although strength and conditioning programs used to typically emphasize predominantly concentric exercises [ 2 ], most specific tennis actions imply high joint accelerations and decelerations that require concentric as well as eccentric changes in muscle length [ 3 , 4 ].…”

“…During the preparation phase of the serve, shoulder internal rotation muscles manage high eccentric loads as do the rotator cuff, the core and lower body structures during the follow-through phase [ 5 ]. On the other hand, previous studies have observed as many as 4 changes of direction (COD) per point [ 6 ] and the number of decelerations in 3-set matches was higher than the number of accelerations [ 1 ], highlighting the relevance of eccentric actions during competition. Thus, most determinant tennis actions imply the succession of eccentric contractions just before the concentric phase, taking advantage of the elastic rebound tendency of muscle tissue in what is known as the stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) [ 7 ].…”

The objective of this study was to analyze the effects of two 8-week neuromuscular training (NMT) interventions on selected physical indicators in young tennis players. Twenty-four junior male tennis players were assigned to a machine-based (MG) (n = 8), flywheel (FG) (n = 8) or a control training group (CG) (n = 8). Tests at baseline, week 4 and 8 included: countermovement jump (CMJ); speed (S; 5, 10, 15 m); agility (right [AR] and left [AL]); serve velocity (SV) and medicine ball throws (MBT; overhead [O], forehand [FH], backhand [BH]). MG and FG attained large positive effects at week 4 in CMJ, S 10 m; AR, AL and MBT FH only in FG. Regarding inter- to post-test, MG achieved large positive effects in MBT O, FH and both groups in BH. Large negative effects appeared for FG in S 5 and 10 m and AR and AL. Both NMT interventions led to positive effects from baseline to week 4 measures in CMJ, S 5 m, 10 m and agility and at week 8 in MBT. Conducting the same NMT for a longer period of time did not lead to the same improvements and other negative effects in FG appeared. Results indicate that performing these interventions with little exercise variability or load management, especially after technical-tactical sessions, could interpose further beneficial outcomes and initial gains could be impaired.
