Treating Tennis Elbow - It’s Not Just For Tennis PlayersPosted by: Mr.Tennis in Interesting SiteTennis elbow is very common and also very treatable. In the game of tennis, tennis elbow is generally caused when a player uses bad body mechanics or incorrect equipment weight/sizes or a combination of the both. Basically if you play tennis regularly with a racquet that is too heavy for your arm and you strike the ball using incorrect technique you could cause a repetitive stress injury. Technically, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) defines tennis elbow as a degenerative condition of the tendon fibers on the outside of the elbow. These tendons are responsible for anchoring the muscles that extend or lift the wrist and hand. AAOS statistics show that while it occurs mostly in patients aged 30-50 it can and does occur in all age groups. As many as half of athletes in racquet sports (tennis, squash, racquetball) are affected - and there is not usually a specific trauma reported that sets off the symptoms. That means it can sneak up on you before you ever figure out yo … Tags: Aaos, Age Groups, American Academy Of Orthopaedic Surgeons, Body Mechanics, Degenerative Condition, Elbow Tennis, Game, Muscles, Racquet Sports, Racquetball, Repetitive Stress Injury, Sports Tennis, Squash, Statistics, Tendon Fibers, Tendons, Tennis Elbow, Tennis Players, Trauma

Players stand on opposing sides of the court. The player who hits the ball to start the game is called the server. The other player stands on the opposite side, and diagonally across from the server and is called the receiver. 2. Which player serves first and which side of the court they start on is decided by the toss of a coin. 3. Singles tennis is one player against another. Doubles tennis is two players per side. In doubles tennis, the players alternate serving and hitting the ball, and one player stands closer to the net than the other. 4. The server stands in back of the baseline and serves the ball when the receiver is ready. If the ball hits the net but remains in-bounds, the server is allowed another serve. 5. The receiver can stand anywhere but must let the ball bounce in bounds prior to hitting. The ball cannot be hit before it bounces, or the server wins the point. 6. The server must call the score prior to serving, saying his score first. (see scoring, below). 7. If the b … Tags: Baseline, Bounce, Doubles Tennis, Game, Playing Tennis, Score, Sports Players, Sports Rules, Sports Tennis, Tennis Player, Tennis Players, Tennis Rules, Tennis SportsTennis is also one of the few sports that uses most of the muscles on your body, which means you get a very good overall workout, and it’s great for your cardio.
