Fitness Fact

Stay hydrated and true to form. Many tennis players begin play or training dehydrated. The more dehydrated a player is at the beginning of a match, the more body temperature will likely rise during play thus affecting play.

Using proper biomechanics and suitable equipment for the size and skill of the individual may be the best strategy for preventing tennis elbow. In general, a neutral wrist position should be maintained during the activity. (ACSM)
