To assess physical load of doubles soft tennis match, heart rate was measured in male college students. Sixteen softtennis players belonging to the college sports club, aged 19 to 22 years, took part in the measurement. They were at a levelof competing for the top of local tournaments. A bracelet type receiver was mounted on the wrist of the subject and theheart rate sensor was attached to the chest using the strap as a transmitter. A total of 13 matches were held in the outdoorcourt through September to October. As a result, exercise intensity during the doubles soft tennis match was between 140and 150 beats/min with an average heart rate, corresponding to approximately 60% of Vo2max. Soft tennis was consideredto be a little stronger in exercise intensity than tennis played with a hard ball. Multiple times of the matches showed thatthere was no difference in exercise intensity between forward and back players. Comparing service and return games, it wasfound that significantly higher heart rate values during service than in return games, especially the trend was clear in backplayers. Heart rate during tennis match would be also somewhat influenced by other conditions such as competition level,tactics, sex, and age.
