Abstract

The specificities of paddle tennis as a racket sport may influence the lesion pattern. The aim of this study is to characterize the profile of musculoskeletal lesion in Paddle players and analyze its impact on absenteeism and medical treatment needs. The results point to the elbow being the most frequent lesion location. The frequency of epicondylalgia is similar to the one reported in recreational tennis players, but the formal diagnosis of lateral elbow tendinopathy is seldom established. Absenteeism due to sport related injury is significant.
