| Abstract | ||
| The aim of this study was to identify the standard level for some physical ability variables, which could assist in the selection process of young female tennis players in Egypt. Strength, power, agility, aerobic endurance, speed and flexibility were measured for 57 high level female junior tennis players (age: 10.48 +/- 1.37yrs; height: 132.49 +/- 10.83 cm; weight 35.67 +/- 10.40kg). Percentile scores were calculated for every variable. The researcher recommends using these scores to evaluate the fitness levels for 9 – 12 years old female tennis players in order to establish current level of physical abilities and as a part of talent identification process. | ||
