Epidemiology and Risk Factors for Injuries in Beach Tennis Players (EPITRAUMA-BT)

July 4, 2025 updated by: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de la Réunion

Epidemiology and Risk Factors for Injuries in Beach Tennis Players: a Prospective Cohort Study

Beach tennis, a fast-growing sport since its creation in Italy in the 1970s, has rapidly gained in popularity, particularly in La Réunion sisland since 2000. However, despite its development, studies on beach tennis-specific injuries are rare, based on cross-sectional studies and therefore limited by temporal or memory bias. The need for prospective research is crucial if we are to gain a better understanding of the epidemiology of injuries and improve prevention and medical management.

The aim will be to determine the risk of injury among beach tennis players within a one-year national prospective cohort.
