Although the serve and forehand are weapons in tennis, they can injure the players if badly executed.<\/strong> These are potentially traumatic shots<\/strong>, as they place very high loadings on the player’s joints<\/strong>. Poor<\/strong> serve or forehand technique<\/strong> can overload the joints.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Excessive joint loadings and energy loss<\/h3>\n

When serving, an inefficient or poor technique<\/strong> can result in a loss of energy<\/strong> that is not transferred from one segment to the next, causing the player to compensate<\/strong> and overload the most distal joints. Excessive joint loadings<\/strong>, coupled with a high number of repetitions, can lead to injury.<\/strong> There are a number of technical errors<\/strong> to be avoided: insufficient leg drive, hyperangulation of the shoulder, waiter’s serve, early rotation of the hips, etc.<\/strong><\/p>\n

OPEN STANCE vs. NEUTRAL STANCE FOREHAND<\/h3>\n

Open stance forehands in extreme defensive situations put more loadings on the knee and hip joints<\/strong> than neutral or open stance in attacking forehands. Long-term repetition of this type of stroke can lead overuse hip and knee injuries.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some players with shoulder injuries leave their arm dragging behind the shoulder axis for too long during the cocking phase of the serve. This is known as shoulder hyperangulation.<\/p>\n

Injury prevention in tennis serve and forehandBiomechanical errors : warning !Although the serve and forehand are weapons in tennis, they can injure the players if badly executed. These are potentially traumatic shots, as they place very high loadings on the player’s joints. Poor serve or forehand technique can overload the joints.Excessive joint loadings and energy lossWhen serving, an inefficient or poor technique can result in a loss of energy that is not transferred from one segment to the next, causing the player to compensate and overload the most distal joints. Excessive joint loadings, coupled with a high number of repetitions, can lead to injury. There are a number of technical errors to be avoided: insufficient leg drive, hyperangulation of the shoulder, waiter’s serve, early rotation of the hips, etc.OPEN STANCE vs. NEUTRAL STANCE FOREHANDOpen stance forehands in extreme defensive situations put more loadings on the knee and hip joints than neutral or open stance in attacking forehands. Long-term repetition of this type of stroke can lead overuse hip and knee injuries.
