Muscle imbalance, microtrauma, insufficient recovery, and biomechanical compensations are
among the top health risks that tennis players encounter when they compete and practice too
much, a common habit among professionals and avid players. This guide to playing healthy
tennis offers descriptions and illustrations of the physical complexity of every tennis motion,
demonstrating the astonishing array of potential injuries threatening the unprepared player.
Optimal performance and low risk of injury are the top results for tennis players who adhere to
the training program, proper nutrition, and equipment selection recommendations in this sports
