🎾 Tennis players are exposed to overuse and overload injuries due to the high number of repetitions during training and the fact that tennis matches are not limited in duration. The kinetic chain is used to generate high racket and ball velocities. It begins with feet, knees and hips, progressing with core and trunk, shoulder and elbow, and finally, to the wrist, hand and racket. Any part of this chain may be affected and this will translate into the "catch up phenomenon", meaning that an alteration in one segment creates changes within the entire system, triggering a cascade leading to injury. The most affected anatomic parts are the shoulder, the lower limb and lower back due to overuse injuries coming from repetitive micro trauma inherent in the sport. It is well established that females are more frequently injured than men. In terms of external factors, there are significantly more injuries on hard court surfaces than on clay.
