Hydration In Tennis Players

The Invisible Key to Peak Performance in Tennis: Hydration Tennis has evolved beyond a sport of style and finesse into a high-intensity athletic discipline that blends speed, explosive power, and endurance. From Grand Slam marathons lasting over five hours to training sessions under the scorching sun, the line between victory and defeat is often hidden in just a few milliliters of fluid loss. Scientific research proves that even a fluid loss as low as 2% of body weight negatively impacts endurance, slows reaction times, and disrupts decision-making processes. In an environment where fatigue can reduce shot accuracy by up to 81%, a proper hydration strategy is not just a supporting factor it is the foundation of performance. Prepared by Prof. Dr. Oktay Çoban, drawing on the scientific expertise of the Arizona State University Hydration Laboratory, this work provides a comprehensive roadmap for elite athletes, coaches, and sports families.
