Summary

Background: The physical demands of padel can increase the risk of injuries, particularly lateral epicondylitis in the elbow. Key risk factors include deficits in forearm muscle strength and rotator cuff weakness. Prevention programs focus on forearm strengthening, with no studies on rotator cuff strength. This study aims to compare two exercise programs designed to reduce risk factors for lateral epicondylitis in amateur padel athletes, specifically wrist extensor strength, grip strength, and rotator cuff strength.

Conditions

  • Lateral Epicondylitis
  • Prevention

Interventions

OTHER

Strenght exercises

Both exercise groups participated in two independent sessions per week for a du-ration of 8 weeks. Each session consisted of two strength exercises, with participants completing 3 sets of 10 repetitions of two strength exercises with 1-2 minutes of rest between sets
