Musculoskeletal examination of elite junior tennis players

(Skelettmuskeluntersuchung von Nachwuchsleistungssportlern im Tennis)

This study provides an overview of a musculoskeletal testing programme for elite level tennis players. Specific alterations in shoulder ROM were identified including decreased dominant arm internal and total rotation when compared to the nondominant extremity. Symmetrical ROM patterns in the hip and symmetrical shoulder strength for ER and the supraspinatus were among the findings generated in the use of this musculoskeletal testing protocol. The information in this article is provided to guide the interpretation and application of objective musculoskeletal testing programmes in elite junior tennis players for both injury prevention and performance enhancement.
