Adolescent female tennis players: Injury prevalence and prevention
This literature review aimed to identify injury prevalence in adolescent female tennis players, and was conducted in accordance to the PRISMA guidelines (Shamseer et al., 2015). The lower extremity encountered the greatest number of injuries and musculotendinous injuries were the most common injury type. Injury prevalence and the anatomical location of injuries changed with chronological age. Acknowledging the results can help tailor strength and conditioning programmes to target the most prevalent injuries within each age group.
