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. =]

I just started playing tennis weekly and my forearm muscle is really getting sore. Is there any exercises i should perform before i play to prevent this? Also, is there any good warm-ups for tennis? The last thing is about my right arm. I play with my right arm, and i’m currently in bowling. I really don’t want my right arm to get stronger and my left arm be scrawny. How can i prevent this? Thanks!

Why does my elbow hurt after throwing a baseball? I am 17 and I play center field. I always stretch before I warm up and during warm ups I do longtoss. After awhile my elbow would hurt a bit. Then after we do fielding practice my elbow is really sore from throwing. When I lift up my arm it’s a bit shaky. After a couple hours my elbow will feel fine until I throw again.

I don’t know if I’m throwing wrong or not because my elbow was fine a couple weeks ago.

So what am I doing wrong?

Last fall, I played a little too much tennis and developed tendinitis in my right wrist and began to see a slight hint of tennis elbow, but fortunatley stopped and immobilized my arm before anything permanent could set in. Now that spring is coming, I’m going to start playing tennis a lot and I’m wondering what sort of vitamins and/or excersizes and/or anything I can do to keep my arms and joint strong and healthy. I currently take a normal multivitamin, a omega-3 complex and a glucosamine/chondroitin complex. Is there anything else I can be taking to strengthen tendins/muscles/connective tissue/bones? Also, what sort of excersizes, workouts or warm ups can you reccomend for me?
