Abstract

Recovery can be defined as the body’s ability to return to a state of readiness following a physical and/or mental challenge. In tennis this applies to the player’s ability to be ready to play the next shot, the next point, the next set or the next match. For optimal performance the player must be ready to execute each stroke at top ability and then recover from a physiological, psychological, tactical and skill standpoint for the next shot. This article will focus on issues of physiological as well as some psychological aspects of recovery as related to tennis for the youth player.
