The IOC has recently proposed standard methods for recording and reporting data for injury and illness in sport (1). The authors of the IOC consensus statement anticipated that sport-specific statements would provide further recommendations. We have now led the development of a tennis-specific extension of the IOC statement.

Despite reported injury rates of up to 3 per 1000 hours exposure, there are no evidence-based prevention programs in tennis. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an e-health prevention program for reducing tennis injury prevalence.
