Resumen
Background: Carbohydrate (CHO) ingestion may be an interesting approach to avoid significant decrement to the
tennis match performance. The aim of the present investigation was to assess the effects of CHO supplementation
on tennis match play performance.
Methods: Twelve young tennis players (18.0 ± 1.0 years; 176 ± 3.4 cm; 68.0 ± 2.3 kg; body fat: 13.7 ± 2.4%) with
national rankings among the top 50 in Brazil agreed to participate in this study, which utilized a randomized,
crossover, double blind research design. The experiment was conducted over a 5-day period in which each player
completed two simulated tennis matches of a 3-hour duration. The players received either a CHO or a placebo
(PLA) drinking solution during simulated tennis matches. Athlete’s performance parameters were determined by
filming each match with two video cameras. Each player was individually tracked for the entire duration of the
match to measure the following variables: (1) games won; (2) rally duration; (3) strokes per rally; (4) effective playing
time (%); (5) aces; (6) double faults; (7) first service in; (8) second service in; (9) first return in and (10) second return in.
Results: There were no differences between trials in any of the variables analyzed.
Conclusions: CHO supplementation did not improve tennis match play performance under the present experimental
conditions.
