Analysis of plantar pressures during sport movement performance can provide significant information to athletes and coaches regarding sport performance and plantar loads. Tennis is a sport that is played in different surfaces. Therefore, the terrain is a critical factor that determines both the bounce of the ball, and how the player moves on the court. The purpose of this study was to examine the plantar pressures in two different surfaces of tennis courts (greenset - synthetic grass) when performing a sequence of two basic tennis movements, service and return in combination with forehand and backhand strokes.
