First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether stiffer tennis rackets are linked to tennis elbow in adult players. Researchers will survey about 200 tennis players about their racket stiffness, playing habits, and any elbow pain in the past year. They also want to see if sex or competitive level changes that link. The goal is to better understand how equipment might affect injury risk.
