Background. Technology in sports education encourages the development of digital learning media, such as videos, applications, and virtual simulations, which effectively improve the motivation, understanding of techniques, and basic skills of court tennis for beginners. Objectives. This study aims to review the effectiveness of digital learning media in helping beginners learn court tennis independently and in a structured manner. This review literature will identify the most effective types of digital media, their benefits and limitations, and the impact of these media on the understanding of basic techniques of court tennis. Methods. A literature review collects and analyzes relevant research and articles from scientific journals, research reports, and sports education publications. The selected article discusses the effectiveness of digital learning media in the context of sports or, more specifically, in learning tennis. The literature studied was then analyzed to find patterns of use and effectiveness of these digital media in improving basic tennis skills. Results. A literature review shows that digital learning media significantly positively impacts beginners' learning of court tennis. Media such as instructional videos help beginners better understand basic techniques, while VR apps and simulations provide a more interactive and realistic training platform. However, the challenges faced include the accessibility of technology and the lack of direct feedback coaches typically offer. This digital media has also been proven to increase beginners' motivation, so they are more enthusiastic about practicing. Conclusions. Digital learning media is an effective alternative to help beginners learn tennis. © 2025, Society of Aging and Physical Activity (SAPA). All rights reserved.
