This study was designed to examine the effects of recovery training on lower extremity explosive strength performance in tennis players. Recovery methods are known to play an important role in reducing muscle fatigue, accelerating the recovery process, and decreasing the risk of injury among athletes. However, the effects of recovery training on lower extremity explosive strength in tennis players have not been sufficiently investigated in the literature. This study will be conducted as a randomized controlled experimental design. Volunteer athletes aged 11-17 who regularly play tennis will be included in the study. Participants will be randomly divided into two groups: the control group will continue only their regular tennis training, while the experimental group will receive additional recovery training along with their routine tennis sessions. Lower extremity explosive strength will be evaluated using the countermovement jump, squat jump, reactive strength index (RSI), standing long jump, single-leg hop, and single-leg vertical jump tests. Measurements will be performed before and after the six-week training period. The findings obtained from this research will scientifically reveal the contribution of recovery training to performance improvement in tennis players and provide evidence-based insights for optimizing athlete health and training program design.
