Ginger for Tennis
Tennis: 200 km/h serve, explosive changes of direction, 2-5 hour matches, and repetitive stress on the elbow, shoulder, and wrist. Tennis elbow (epicondylitis) is the sport's most iconic injury.
Benefits for tennis players
- Tennis Elbow — lateral epicondylitis from backhand and serve; COX-2 anti-inflammatory
- Shoulder — serve and smash; protection of the rotator cuff and labrum
- Knees — lateral changes of direction; meniscal and patellofemoral protection
- Wrist — topspin, slice, volleys; tendon and ligament protection
- Back — trunk rotation and serve extension; disc protection
- Recovery — tournaments with daily matches; DOMS -25% between matches
Tournament Schedule
Professional tennis players play 60-80 matches/year for 11 months. Amateurs play weekend tournaments with multiple matches. Daily anti-inflammatory is essential for both.
