AB Shoulder pain has been associated with glenohumeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD) and areduction in external rotation (ER) strength; however, in tennis players, there is scarce evi-dence regarding the impact of a single match on shoulder range of motion (ROM), strengthand serve speed. The aim of this study was to determine the acute effect of a single tennismatch on shoulder rotation ROM, isometric strength and serve speed. Twenty-six profes-sional tennis players participated in the study (20.4±4.4 years; 10.5±3.2 years tennis exper-tise; 20.5±5.4 h/week training). Passive shoulder external (ER-ROM) and internal rotationROM (IR-ROM), ER and IR isometric strength were measured before and after a single ten-nis match (80.3±21.3 min) in both shoulder´s. Moreover, the total arc of motion (TAM) andER/IR strength ratio were calculated. Video analysis was used to assess the number ofserves and groundstrokes, while a radar gun was utilized to measure maximal ball speed. Inthe dominant shoulder, compared to pre-match levels, IR-ROM was significantly reduced(-1.3%; p = 0.042), while ER-ROM (5.3%; p = 0.037) and TAM (3.1%; p = 0.050) were signif-icantly increased. In the non-dominant shoulder, ER-ROM (3.7%; p = 0.006) was increased.Furthermore, in the dominant shoulder, the isometric ER strength was significantly reducedafter the match (-4.8%; p = 0.012), whereas serve speed was not significantly reduced aftermatch (-1.16%; p = 0.197). A single tennis match leads to significant reductions in shoulderROM (e.g., IR of the dominant shoulder) and isometric strength (e.g., ER of the dominantshoulder). This study reveals the importance of recovery strategies prescription aiming atminimize post-match alteration in the shoulders.
