| description | Flexibility measurements were obtained in 86 junior elite tennis players and compared to the flexibility meas urements of
139 athletes involved in other sports. The measurements obtained included sit and reach flexibil ity, quadricep flexibility,
hamstring flexibility, gastroc nemius flexibility, shoulder internal rotation, and shoul der external rotation. All measurements
except sit and reach flexibility were obtained goniometrically. Tennis players were significantly tighter in sit and reach
flexi bility, dominant shoulder internal rotation, and nondom inant shoulder internal rotation. They were significantly more
flexible in dominant shoulder external rotation and nondominant shoulder external rotation. The flexibility differences found
in tennis players suggest adaptations to the musculoskeletal demands of their sport. These results suggest that a sport-specific
flexibility program may be necessary for junior elite tennis players in order to promote maximum performance and help prevent
flexibility-related injuries. |
