    Filipčič, Aleš ; Filipčič, Tjaša, 1970-
    The aim of the research was to identify and analyse the injuries of male tennis players. The analysis covered a sample of 100 male tennis players. Based on the survey conducted within the scope of ... regular annual testing of the national team members, we wished to establish the relevance of training factors and their influence on the occurrence of injuries. We were interested in the incidence and the anatomic location of injuries, the incidence of injuries resulting from tennis strokes, the impact of the scope and contents of practice as well as regeneration on the incidence of injuries. Furthermore, we wanted to find out the connection between 21 predictor variables (training factors) and the criterion variable (number of tennis injuries). The chi-square test showed that statistical difference between expected and actual frequences was recorded in five variables. These variables were: estimate that the tennis player has technical difficulties in two-handed backhand, the number of fitness trainings per week, the agility and speed that are prevailing elements of fitness trainings, and regular tennis players' implementation of regeneration procedures. In sum, optimal tennis technique, suitable fitness training and regeneration procedures can influence the occurence of injuries.
