Resumen
Shoulder pain has been associated with glenohumeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD) and a
reduction 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), strength
and serve speed. The aim of this study was to determine the acute effect of a single tennis
match 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 rotation
ROM (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) and
ER/IR strength ratio were calculated. Video analysis was used to assess the number of
serves and groundstrokes, while a radar gun was utilized to measure maximal ball speed. In
the 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 reduced
after the match (-4.8%; p = 0.012), whereas serve speed was not significantly reduced after
match (-1.16%; p = 0.197). A single tennis match leads to significant reductions in shoulder
ROM (e.g., IR of the dominant shoulder) and isometric strength (e.g., ER of the dominant
shoulder). This study reveals the importance of recovery strategies prescription aiming at
minimize post-match alteration in the shoulders.
