Abstract


Tennis players will need a combination of speed, agility, and power as well as highly developed aerobic fitness in order to be successful and competitive. Aim of this study was to conduct the effects of different training programs on the development of agility in tennis players. Electronic database PubMed was used for searching and colecting apropriate studies in area of agility in tennis. This study was conducted according to the prisma statement. A total of 361 participants were included in this study.Twelve studies satisfied the requirements for inclusion in this study. The findings of this comprehensive analysis showed that pliometric training, one court suicide training, on-court tennis training, high-intensity interval training, sport-specific drill training and neuromuscular and perfomance training showed positive effects of agility among young tennis players.
