“…The twelve included papers were carried out between 2008 and 2021, with 443 tennis players. Across the studies, 1) Gender: nine studies focused on men (Salonikidis and Zafeiridis, 2008;Behringer et al, 2013;Fernandez-Fernandez et al, 2015;Fernandez-Fernandez et al, 2016;Fernandez-Fernandez et al, 2018;Mohanta et al, 2019), no studies focused on female tennis players alone, two studies reported mixed gender (Lakshmikanth et al, 2018;Hotwani et al, 2021), and one study did not specify gender (Gelen et al, 2012); 2) Age: all studies recorded the participants' ages, and an overview of age reports from twelve research revealed that the participants' ages ranged from 12.5 to 25 years; 3) Tennis experience: eight studies reported on the training experience of the tennis players (Salonikidis and Zafeiridis, 2008;Gelen et al, 2012;Behringer et al, 2013;Fernandez-Fernandez et al, 2015;Fernandez-Fernandez et al, 2016;Fernandez-Fernandez et al2018;Mohanta et al, 2019), ranging from 12 to 96 months, four studies did not report on training experience (Ölçücü et al, 2013;Rathore, 2016;Lakshmikanth et al, 2018;Hotwani et al, 2021); 4) Intervention: regarding the training regimen in this review, four studies conducted PT for the upper and lower extremities (Behringer et al, 2013;Fernandez-Fernandez et al, 2016;Mohanta et al, 2019;Ziagkas et al, 2019), and one study used only upper limb PT (Gelen et al, 2012), six studies used lowerextremity PT (Salonikidis and Zafeiridis, 2008;Fernandez-Fernandez et al, 2015;Rathore, 2016;Fernandez-Fernandez et al, 2018;Lakshmikanth et al, 2018;Hotwani et al, 2021), but three studies did not detailed description the trainin...…”

Background: Plyometric training (PT) has been researched extensively in athletic populations. However, the effects of PT on tennis players are less clear.Methods: We aim to consolidate the existing research on the effects of PT on healthy tennis players’ skill and physical performance. On 30th May 2022, a comprehensive search of SCOPUS, PubMed, Web of Science, and SPORTDiscus (via EBSCOhost) databases was performed. PICOS was employed to define the inclusion criteria: 1) healthy tennis players; 2) a PT program; 3) compared a plyometric intervention to a control group or another exercise group, and single-group trials; 4) tested at least one measures of tennis skill or physical performance; and 5) non-randomized study trials and randomized control designs. Individual studies’ methodological quality was evaluated by using the Cochrane RoB-2 and ROBINS-I instruments. Using Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE), the certainty of the body of evidence for each outcome was assessed, and Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software was employed for the meta-analysis.Results: Twelve studies comprising 443 tennis players aged 12.5–25 years were eligible for inclusion. The PT lasted from 3 to 9 weeks. Eight studies provided data to allow for the pooling of results in a meta-analysis. A moderate positive effect was detected for PT programs on maximal serve velocity (ES = 0.75; p < 0.0001). In terms of measures of physical performance, small to moderate (ES = 0.43–0.88; p = 0.046 to < 0.001) effects were noted for sprint speed, lower extremity muscle power, and agility. While no significant and small effect was noted for lower extremity muscle strength (ES = 0.30; p = 0.115). We found no definitive evidence that PT changed other parameters (i.e., serve accuracy, upper extremity power and strength, reaction time, and aerobic endurance). Based on GRADE, the certainty of evidence across the included studies varied from very low to moderate.Conclusion: PT may improve maximal serve velocity and physical performance components (sprint speed, lower extremity muscular power, and agility) for healthy tennis players; however, more high-quality evidence about the effects of PT on the skill and physical performance of tennis players merits further investigation.Systematic Review Registration: [https://inplasy.com/], identifier [INPLASY202250146].

“…Meanwhile, the aerobic system is required during the resting period [19]. Agility can be described as controlling body position and changing the moving direction as quickly as possible [20]. Although, in general, agility is defined as a movement to change a direction quickly in responding to a stimulus [21].…”

“…The characteristics of the tennis game require acceleration of changes in direction and repeated strokes with high intensity in a relatively varied time (Ziagkas, 2019). Achieving tennis performance requires physical components of speed, agility, reaction, balance, coordination, and endurance (Bashir, 2018).…”

“…Agility and reaction speed are crucial factors for tennis players in carrying out any changing movements (Reid, 2013). Agility and reaction speed is the ability of a player to maintain or control body position and change direction quickly in various movements after receiving a stimulus (Ziagkas, 2019, Yudhistira, 2020. Speed, agility and explosive power have a high impact on success in tennis (Smajić et al, 2015)Why is reactive agility necessary for tennis?…”

Background The purpose of this study was to examine High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) for Reactive Agility Tennis with a literature review approach and develop HIIT for Reactive Agility Tennis with Aiken validation. Methods This research method consists of two stages: the first stage using the Literature review method and the second stage is Aiken validation. In the first stage, the participants of this research used documents. Data collection through the Pubmed database, and Google Scholar, used the PRISMA. Data analysis uses thematic analysis through three stages. The second stage is validating the HIIT model for Reactive Agility Tennis. The participants of this study used eight experts. Data analysis using the Aiken formula. Results the results of previous research on HIIT for reactive agility tennis found similarities, namely in general, using high intensity, a minimum number of eight types, training frequency at least 3 times per week, whereas in general the difference in training intervals, the type of HIIT exercise in previous studies for Increases reactive tennis agility. In addition, there are very few HIIT studies for reactive agility in tennis. Therefore, it is necessary to develop HIIT for reactive agility tennis. The second stage of this research has found a high validity of Aiken value in the development of HITT for reactive agility tennis. Conclusions HIIT highly increasing reactive tennis agility, therefore, HIIT can be used by coaches to increase tennis athletes' reactive agility, and further research needs to be done.
