Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
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.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control Group
Participants in this group will continue their regular tennis training
No interventions assigned to this group
Recovery Training Group
Participants in this group will continue their regular tennis training and additionally perform recovery training twice a week for four weeks. The recovery sessions include stretching, foam rolling, and relaxation exercises designed to enhance recovery and improve lower extremity explosive strength.
