The aim of this study was to determine the match activity and physiological demands of women's tennis during a 3-day clay-court tennis tournament. The activity profile of eight players was determined by filming each competitive match with video cameras. Metabolic-perceptual measurements--blood samples and individual ratings of perceived exertion (RPE)--were taken while the players were sitting during permitted changeover breaks in play. The activity profile of the players was as follows: strokes per rally, 2.5 +/- 1.6; rally duration, 7.2 +/- 5.2 s; rest time between rallies, 15.5 +/- 7.3 s; effective playing time, 21.6 +/- 6.1%; work-to-rest ratio, 1:2.1. Blood lactate concentration [2.2 +/- 0.9 mmol x l(-1) (n = 50) vs. 2.2 +/- 0.7 mmol x l(-1) (n = 48)] and RPE values [12.2 +/- 2.4 (n = 57) vs. 12 +/- 2.3 (n = 57)] were not significantly different (P = 0.65-0.78) between service and return games. The results highlight the importance of taking these factors (i.e. activity patterns and physiological profile) into account when planning training strategies for competitive females players. As such, tennis training regimes should be adapted to the specific demands imposed by match-play in female players on a clay-court surface.
本研究的目的是确定在为期3天的红土网球锦标赛期间女子网球比赛的活动情况和生理需求。通过用摄像机拍摄每场比赛来确定8名运动员的活动情况。在比赛允许的换边休息期间运动员就坐时，进行代谢感知测量——采集血样并进行个体主观用力感觉评分（RPE）。运动员的活动情况如下：每回合击球数2.5±1.6次；回合持续时间7.2±5.2秒；回合间休息时间15.5±7.3秒；有效比赛时间21.6±6.1%；工作与休息比率1:2.1。发球局和接发球局之间的血乳酸浓度[2.2±0.9 mmol·L⁻¹（n = 50）对2.2±0.7 mmol·L⁻¹（n = 48）]和RPE值[12.2±2.4（n = 57）对12±2.3（n = 57）]无显著差异（P = 0.65 - 0.78）。结果强调了在为竞技女子运动员制定训练策略时考虑这些因素（即活动模式和生理状况）的重要性。因此，网球训练方案应适应女子运动员在红土场地比赛中所施加的特定需求。
