Abstract

An interdisciplinary approach integrating exercise physiology, biomechanics, sport psychology, and nutrition has become essential for optimizing athletic performance (; ). Combining knowledge from these different fields allows practitioners and researchers to better understand the complex factors associated with sporting success and to develop more comprehensive performance-enhancement strategies (). This holistic perspective not only contributes to improvements in physical qualities such as strength and endurance (), but also supports psychological components including motivation, emotional control, and stress management, ultimately fostering sustainable and high-level sport performance (). Thus, in this Research Topic of Frontiers in Psychology, titled “” racket sports continue to experience remarkable global expansion, not only in terms of participation but also regarding scientific interest. Tennis, padel, badminton, pickleball, and table tennis are increasingly recognized as multidisciplinary contexts where physiological, psychological, cognitive, technical, and social variables interact dynamically. The Research Topic of studies gathered in this Research Topic provides an updated and diverse overview of current research trends in racket sports science, emphasizing athlete development, wellbeing, tactical behavior, cognitive functioning, and training optimization across different populations and competitive levels. One of the most evident themes emerging from these investigations is the growing relevance of psychological and cognitive factors in performance and participation. Traditionally, racket sports research focused heavily on physiological demands and biomechanical efficiency. However, recent evidence increasingly highlights the importance of mental processes, emotional regulation, motivation, and perceptual-cognitive skills.
