Racquet Arm Strength
A group of British researchers studied the muscle and bone strength of the racquet arm vs the non-racquet arm in tennis players. They found that the muscles and the bones of the racquet arm were significantly bigger and stronger than those of the non-racquet arm. They conclude that:
“These results support a strong influence of muscular action on bone adaptation.”
