This study aimed to investigate the physical, biochemical, and physiological effects of different recovery strategies on tennis players, with a particular focus on enhancing restoration efficiency and reducing fatigue after repeated high-intensity training and competition loads. The research emphasizes the critical role of structured recovery programs in optimizing athletic performance and maintaining players’ functional capacity throughout the competitive season.
An experimental design was employed, involving three groups with pre-test and post-test measurements for each group. The research sample consisted of thirty male tennis players selected purposively from Wadi Degla Sports Club, Al-Ahly Sports Club, and Shooting Sports Club. The participants were divided equally into three groups of ten players each, with each group receiving a distinct recovery intervention. Data were analyzed using advanced statistical methods, including mean, standard deviation, skewness, Pearson correlation, t-tests, and improvement percentages, to ensure rigorous evaluation of the recovery effects across physical, biochemical, and physiological variables.
The results revealed that the first experimental group, which received an integrated recovery program combining active rest, massage, ice packs, and sliding cupping, achieved the most substantial improvements across all measured variables. Statistically significant differences among the three groups indicate that the effectiveness of recovery is closely related to the comprehensiveness and variety of the applied recovery methods. The second group, which followed a moderately varied recovery protocol, showed notable but lower improvements, while the third group, which relied on passive recovery and basic massage, exhibited the least enhancement.
