Abstract
Investigation and analysis of 601 tennis players. 431 male and 170 female, indicated that 71.2% of them had tennis injuries. Eye accounted for 3% of the injuries, shoulder 24.3%, elbow 27%, wrist 20.5%, knee 3%, thigh 3.5%. leg 12.1%, ankle 7,2%. achilles tendon 6% rupture 0.3% and toe 4%. No significant difference was found between male and female players except for wrist (more females) and leg injuries (more males). Playing ability, warm-up frequency and limeappeared to make a significant difference in the occurence of tennis injuries. The incidence of injuries in players who used a large size racket grip was significantly higher. Incidence, and recurrence increased with age especially in those over 50. An increased incidence of injuries was noted in players using metal rackets compared with those using wood and composite materials. There was also a lower incidence of injuries in those using two-handed backhand (p < 0.01). The fewest number of injuried occurred on clay courts.' Rubber courts were second highest and cement courts the worst.
