NCT ID NCT07667491

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested two 8-week exercise programs in 45 amateur padel players to see if they could reduce risk factors for lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow). Both programs involved strength exercises for the forearm and shoulder. The goal was to improve wrist, grip, and rotator cuff strength, which are key to preventing elbow injuries.
