NCT04889482

Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to correlate functional tests, clinical tests and rotator cuff strength with the speed of serve. For that purpose, tennis players (ITN 2-4) will be recruted among tennis players in the Province of Liege. They will be assessed 2 times. During the first assessment, lateral medicine ball throw, 2 ball throws, upper extremity y balance test and shoulder rotation range of motion will be assessed. During the second assessment, lateral medicine ball throw, the 2 ball throws and rotator cuff strength will be assessed.
