Physical performance changes after unsupervised training during the autumn/spring semester break in competitive tennis players

The first 100% of the full text of this article appears below.

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.
