Resumen
Background: Groin injuries are some of the most common injuries tennis players
suffer. Several factors (e.g., post-match decrease in hip adductor (ADD) strength)
have been proposed as possible mechanisms for increasing the incidence of this type
of injury. However, the risk factors of developing groin injuries after a tennis match
have not yet been delineated.
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of tennis match-play on
isometric ADD and abductor (ABD) strength and passive hip range of motion
(ROM).
Methods: Twenty-six male tennis players (20.30 ± 4.98 years) took part in this study.
Participants completed an evaluation of strength and flexibility hip measurements
before and after a simulated tennis match. Dominant and non-dominant passive hip
ROM, ADD and ABD isometric strength, and the ADD/ABD strength ratio were
measured before and immediately post-match. A global positioning system (GPS)
and a session rating of perceived exertion (RPE) were used to assess the locomotive
demands and internal match load.
Results: Isometric dominant ADD strength (17.8%, p ≤ 0.01) and ADD/ABD
strength ratio (11.6%, p = 0.04) were lower post-match compared to the pre-match
values. No between-limbs differences were observed for isometric ADD strength,
ABD strength, and passive hip ROM tests. RPE showed an expected increase between
pre- vs. post-match (pre- vs. post-warming-up, 3.42 ± 2.08 vs. 5.62 ± 2.29, p < 0.01).
In addition, a significant relationship between ADD strength and the volume of
tennis practice per week was found, stablishing that tennis players with lower volume of training per week suffered a reduction in ADD strength in their dominant limb
after match-play (r = 0.420, p = 0.04).
Conclusion: The assessment of ADD strength and the ADD/ABD strength ratio in
the dominant limb may be considered a post-match tool that can be used to identify
players who require rest and additional recovery strategies before competing again.
