“…Despite the absence of statistical analysis resulting in low reliability values, this was the only study that examined shoulder articular changes. The influence of prolonged tennis on shoulder internal range of motion, three hours post-game, was examined in a laboratory environment by Martin and colleagues [20]. Despite the poor sample size (n = 8), the findings of this study were similar to the study of Moore-Reed and colleagues [28], confirming that prolonged tennis play is a risk factor for upper limb injury in tennis players.…”

“…The most common risk factor investigated was prolonged tennis, since five studies examined different effects of prolonged tennis to upper limb anatomical, structural, and biomechanical properties. Exposure to tennis is connected to tennis injuries, affecting shoulder muscle performance, causing decreased serve maximal angular velocities and joint kinetics [20]. Skill level and technique have been identified as risk factors for upper limb injury in tennis.…”

Studies in tennis injuries have successfully identified the incident rate, the location, and the type of the injury. The majority of the studies have multiple perspectives (epidemiology, biomechanics, performance), however only a few studies were able to identify risk factors or mechanisms that contribute to tennis injuries. Until now, there has not been a systematic literature review that identifies risk factors for tennis injuries. The objective of this review was to identify and critically appraise the evidence related to risk factors for upper limb injury in tennis players. A systematic review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework, using a research question developed by the Patient Problem, (or Population) Intervention, Comparison or Control, and Outcome (PICO) methodology. The quality of the studies included was moderate to low, indicating prolonged tennis (exposure to tennis), scapular dyskinesis, muscle fatigue, scapulothoracic properties, shoulder kinetics or kinematics, skill level, and technique as risk factors for upper limb injury in tennis players. In this review, it is evidenced that the majority of tennis injuries are associated with overuse and a chronic time course, however, tennis injuries do not arise from a linear combination of isolated and predictive factors. Therefore, the multifactorial and complex nature of tennis injuries has to be further examined. The necessity of more randomized control trial studies is highly recommended.

“…Previous research suggest that a stretching program of the posterior capsule and cuff can help improve and restore normal IR RoM [37,38]. Moreover, there are indications of acute effects of tennis practice sessions on the shoulder mobility [13]. The authors highlighted that stretching the shoulder girdle directly after training or competition may prevent physiological adaptations to stress in the shoulder and therefore the development of GIRD.…”

Injury and training history are associated with glenohumeral internal rotation deficit in youth tennis athletes

A glenohumeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD) of the shoulder, is associated with an increased risk of shoulder injuries in tennis athletes. The aim of the present study was to reveal the impact of 1) age, sex, specific training data (i.e. training volume, years of tennis practice, years of competitive play) and 2) upper extremity injuries on GIRD in youth competitive tennis athletes. A cross-sectional retrospective study design was adopted. Youth tennis players (n = 27, 12.6 ± 1.80 yrs., 18 male) belonging to an elite tennis squad were included. After documenting the independent variables (anthropometric data, tennis specific data and history of injury), the players were tested for internal (IR) and external (ER) shoulder rotation range of motion (RoM, [°]). From these raw values, the GIRD parameters ER/IR ratio and side differences and TRoM side differences were calculated. Pearson's correlation analyses were performed to find potential associations of the independent variables with the GIRD outcomes. A significant positive linear correlation between the years of tennis training and IR side asymmetry occurred (p < .05). A significant negative linear relation between the years of tennis training and the ratio of ER to IR range of motion (RoM) in the dominant side (p < .05) was found. The analysis of covariance showed a significant influence of the history of injuries on IR RoM (p < .05). Injury and training history but not age or training volume may impact on glenohumeral internal rotation deficit in youth tennis athletes. We showed that GIRD in the dominant side in youth tennis players is progressive with increasing years of tennis practice and independent of years of practice associated with the history of injuries. Early detection of decreased glenohumeral RoM (specifically IR), as well as injury prevention training programs, may be useful to reduce GIRD and its negative consequences.

“…Due to numerous shot repetitions, especially pertaining to the serve, there is often a reported deficit in glenohumeral internal rotation ROM of the dominant arm of tennis players (Ellenbecker, Roetert, Bailie, Davies, & Brown, 2002;Kibler, Chandler, Livingston, & Roetert, 1996;Moreno-Pérez, Moreside, Barbado, & Vera-Garcia, 2015;Roetert, McCormick, Brown, & Ellenbecker, 1996). Similarly, Martin, Kulpa, Ezanno, Delamarche, and Bideau (2016) found a significant decrease in passive shoulder internal rotation and total ROM during a 3-hour tennis match. Elite junior tennis players have a relative muscular strength imbalance between the internal and external shoulder rotators of the dominant arm (Ellenbecker & Roetert, 2003).…”

and strength is thought to be crucial in protecting the shoulder complex during intensive overhead motions. Lack of flexibility in athletes has been linked to a decrease in performance and increase in muscular injuries (Shellock & Prentice, 1985). During a tennis match, players usually perform a large number of multidirectional and cutting movements along with asymmetric rotational motions resulting from the execution of a serve or groundstroke (Roetert, Kovacs, Knudson, & Groppel, 2009). Tennis match load is expressed as the number of shots a player makes and the distance covered while performing movement patterns that include fast starts, directional changes, stops, and jumps. Weber (2001) reported that in an average rally, professional players hit three shots and cover 3 m for each contact with the ball, which amounts to approximately 1,000 executed shots and 3 km of distance covered during a best of three sets match. Kovacs (2006) found that all movements
