Impact of Tennis‐Specific Hitting and Running Loads on Respiration Patterns Compared to Treadmill Running With Similar Oxygen Uptake

European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 25, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to compare respiratory patterns and gas exchange during tennis and treadmill running at similar oxygen uptake. On three experimental days, 15 elite players (7 female, 8 male) completed a standardized tennis protocol (TP), a treadmill‐based incremental running test (RT), and a metabolically matched running protocol (RP).
