Im going into 9th next school year and i want to be prepared for sports. I want to do volleyball and tennis (possibly basketball). What are some things i can do to get ready for these sports (plz dont just say play the sport, i know that.) Like what muscles do i need to get stronger and what are some exercises i can do to strengthen that muscle?

Thanks alot!

My sister wants us to start a sport together to get her fit, but she is picky on which sport we do. (I don’t care any of them is fine). She says either Volleyball or Tennis. Thanks and God bless!

i went to dive for the ball in volleyball and collided with another girl, i immediately got a sharp dull pain that felt horrible and my coach said he heard it pop, the next morning when i woke up i had intense pain all the way around my elbow when i straightened it, and the muscle that is on the pinky side but close to the elbow joint still hurts, and what makes it worse is when i keep my arm on a hard surface, it makes it real sore to move it and when i keep my arm bent for a little while its hurts to straighten it, and also when i straighten my arm and just put my hand down i get a sharp pain in my elbow joints, Do you know whats wrong and should i go to the doctor?

I went and saw an orthopedic doctor today about my injured elbow from volleyball. The doctor said it was javelin elbow(similar to tennis elbow, just pain is underneath instead of on top) and so he gave me a brace. He said to wear it every day, all day, except when i sleep. Today was my first day wearing it, and not only my elbow, but my whole arm and hand hurt really bad when i just touched it, and when i wrote and that kind of stuff. It was also turning weird colors like purplish and red, and it got swollen. Is this normal? I took it off because it seemed a little strange, so do i keep it off? is this supposed to happen?
I am pretty sure it wasnt on to tight. The doctor said it should be tight so it puts pressure on my tendons, and if it was to tight my vains wold be popping out, which didnt happen… I am also thinking it might be a problem with my nerve. thats what the first doctor i saw said. If it was a nerve, that may have been what caused the pain and swelling? But i dont know. I would think that after a while the nerve would heal on its own, because it’s been about a year since the injury. I have barely used my elbow since then. I quit volleyball, and the only time i use it is in school when we play for P.E., and soccer when i am goalie. and just doing little things like wiping the table down it hurts sometimes. But anyway, im starting to think its NOT "javelin elbow". what do you think?
