I started tennis practice today, and I’m aching all over. (I’m 14 years old, 112 lbs, and 5 foot 2.)
Today, we ran half a mile first thing (five minutes), did numerous exercises for about 10 min (walking lunges, arm swings, and a bunch of other things), stretched for about 5 min, played tennis for 2 hours, and then played a game where you are constantly running for half an hour.

I have tennis practice every single day this week until Sunday. Thats 6 total days. On Tuesdays and Thursdays our warm-ups are longer and more stenuous. We will have to run one mile a day now, and then one day we’ll have to run two. In addition to playing tennis for two hours.

If my diet stays the same, what do you think will happen? Will I get a lot of muscle or something?

Also, what can I do to ease sore muscles without going out and buying something?

Thanks. =]

Tennis tryouts are Monday. I’m pretty sure there are no cuts, because not a whole lot of people join, but what are some good things to do to get in shape for tennis? I’ m already okay with the running, because I play soccer, so I’m used to it. I haven’t run since about November though. What are sme good exercises that will help with my tennis practice?
Oh, I’m not trying to lose weight.

My team and I have a daily routine for tennis practice. First we run a mile, then we go to the weight room and do several different weight lifting exercises, and then we play tennis. Is lifting weights bad before playing tennis? Can it affect our performance on the courts?

I had my first tennis practice 2 days ago (joining school’s team). Now my inner arm hurts. It’s like, when I touch my elbow bone and like the tendons on it, it hurts. I’ve only had one practice, and I’ve already gotten hurt. What a surprise.
Anyway, do I have tennis elbow? How many days will it take to heal? My next practice is this monday, but it’s optional so I don’t have to go. What should I do to get rid of the pain and the injury in general? Please help.
and the muscles in my forearm hurt. it’s the inner part, when you face your palm up. BTW, I play with my right arm and that’s the one that’s hurting. My left is fine, just a tiny bit sore.
