Sažetak

Basic biomechanical characteristics of the racket-hand system of a tennis player, during the time of impact of the ball with the strings, are presented. Major constructional properties of the racket, influencing the playing quality and the absorbtion (amortisation) and transmission of the force of impact on the hand, are exposed.
The mechanism of development of tennis elbow, resulting from microtraumatic (al) events, is explained. Diagnosis of this injury is easy to establish, therapy is diverse and not always successful. Infiltration therapy with corticosteroides is considered to be the method of choice.
Possibilities of prevention of this injury are exposed, based on choice of optimal racket construction and movement sterotype as well.
