Sažetak

Introduction: Tennis, as one of the most popular sports in
the world brings together a lot of players. A lot of players
also means a lot of injuries. Many of those players are
recreational players, so we need to further the research
and find out the incidence of injuries in those players.
Aim: To determine the incidence of injuries of
recreational players localisation, and risk factors of
injuries in recreational players.
Materials and methods: 244 participants took part in
this research, 85,6% of which were male, and 14,4%
were female. The research was conducted via an online
questionnaire.
Results: Results have shown that 79,5% of participants
have sustained some type of injury playing tennis. Lower
extremites were the ones more injured, specifically the
ankle joint, while in upper extremites the most injured
joint was the elbow joint. Most injured structure was the
ligament, followed by tenedon injuries, muscle injuries
and ankle distortions.Conclusion: Large number of injuries in recreational
players are of great concern, but with specific prevention
measures, education and quality research, the incidence
of injuries can be greatly diminished.
