Cover Story: Tennis is a physically demanding sport that appears to require a high level of conditioning in order to facilitate injury prevention. The purpose of this study was to examine injury rates and strength and conditioning practices in collegiate tennis. The highest reported injuries were ankle sprains (144 injures), paraspinal muscle strains (126 injuries), internal or subacromial impingements (95 injuries), and thigh muscle strains (82 injuries). When coaches were surveyed, they appeared to value sports-specific training, as well as flexibility and mobility training. Finally, the incorporation of hypertrophy-oriented training appeared to explain a small percentage of the variance in injury rates in both the upper- and lower-body. However, S&C practices overall were not strongly predictive of injuries in tennis. View this paper
