Sažetak
On the sample of 83 top Slovenian athletes we have studied the frequency of injuries among table tennis, tennis and
badminton players, types of injuries and severity of injuries – the latter based on data of players absences from training
and/or competition processes. The most liable parts to injuries are shoulder girdle (17.27%), spine (16.55%) and ankle
(15.83%), while foot (10.07%) and wrist (12.23%) are slightly less liable to injuries. The most frequent injuries in racket
sports pertain to muscle tissues. According to this data, the majority of injuries occur halfway through a training session
or a competition event, mostly during a competition season. The injuries primarily pertain to muscle tissues; these are
followed by joint and tendon injuries. There are no differences between male and female players. Compared to other
racket sports players, table tennis players suffer from fewer injuries.
