Stop epicondylitis and arm injuries
Apr
How many times have you had to stop for long stops in competitive activity, or had to give up the pleasure of playing with friends because of nagging contractures or inflammation that, over time, became chronic?
Statistically, 50 percent of Tennis, Padel and Pickleball players suffer from technopathies due to stress in repeatedly hitting the ball under strain. The joints and muscles of the shoulder, elbow, and wrist are the areas most prone to strains, sprains, and uncomfortable contractures.
Injuries that often require anti-inflammatories, physical therapy sessions or even infiltration or more advanced recovery therapies.
To avoid or prevent injuries, it is good practice to follow a few steps:
1
Progressively improve your technique and game mechanics
2
Combine a good athletic training with a proper nutrition and adequate hydro-saline intake
3
Choose an appropriate equipment that can minimizes vibrations when hitting the ball
Playing with a racket be able to absorb all the vibrations and minimize arm stress becomes essential to prevent injuries, giving continuity to the game and ensuring fun throughout the season.
Laterla epicondylitis, also called “tennis elbow,” represents one of the most common pathologies among Tennis, Padel and Pickleball players.
Lateral epicondyle inflammation, resulting from constant overloading, causes the affected tendon to thicken and increase in stiffness. Over time, if underestimated, it can degenerate into micro lacerations, leading to thr rupture of the tendon itself, causing long stops from any competitive or amateur activity.
The main responsibility for epicondylitis, in addition to the personal technique expressed on the court, is to be attributed above all to the equipment, wich is unable to absorb a necessary amount of vibration to preserve the integrity of the arm.
We at ProKennex, precisely with the goal of combining maximum performance and continuity of play in a racquet, have been constantly investing in research and development for more than 40 years to create equipment that performs highly on the court and is effectively active in injury prevention.
Thanks to the exclusive Kinetic System technology, our rackets are the only ones on the market equipped with a secondary energy source, released by microspheres in the frame and in the handle of the racket, that drastically reduce vibration, making the frame more stable and increasing the efficiency area of the stringbed, allowing greater precision and shot power.
How Kinetic technology works
The advantages of this revolutionary technology
Reduced effort
Increased comfort
Improved performance
on court
The Kinetic system uses the laws of physics to do what standard design and manufacturing approaches are unable to do.
Two of the world’s most prestigious scientific institutions, the Sports Dynamic Lab at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the School of Kinesiology at the University of Cologne, have documented and certified the effectiveness of the exclusive Kinetic technology:
- 20% reduction in shocks
- 43% reduction in vibrations
- 50% improvement in torsional stability.
These extraordinary results are confirmed by those who take to the court every day with a ProKennex tennis, paddle or pickleball racquet. The Kinetic System represents the definitive solution for ‘tennis elbow’.
Whether you are an occasional player who wants to have fun with friends or a pro player who aims for excellence, rackets equipped with Kinetic technology guarantee superior playing performance and the pleasure of taking to the court in complete safety.
