Detraining effects have never been properly investigated for tennis players. This research shows that after a break of a couple of weeks, significant detraining effects occur, even though players were instructed to do physical homework. This is useful information for coaches, because after the break players return less fit and time is wasted regaining the pre-break level of fitness.
