Table 1 Peak torque/body weight ratios for wrist flexion/extension and forearm pronation/supination in elite female junior tennis players.

Movement pattern/speed Dominant Non‐dominant
Wrist extension 90° 3.81 (1.20)* 3.34 (1.15)
Wrist extension 210° 2.94 (1.13)* 2.25 (1.01)
Wrist flexion 90° 5.00 (1.74)* 3.87 (1.26)
Wrist flexion 210° 3.59 (1.29)* 2.75 (1.07)
Forearm pronation 90° 3.78 (1.05)* 2.33 (1.03)
Forearm pronation 210° 3.26 (0.90)* 1.74 (0.99)
Forearm supination 90° 2.15 (0.60)† 2.22 (0.64)
Forearm supination 210° 1.85 (0.66)† 2.00 (0.55)

Values are mean (SD).

All speeds are expressed in degrees/second. Torque is expressed in foot pounds relative to body weight in pounds.

*Significantly greater than the non‐dominant side, p<0.01.

†Significantly less than the non‐dominant side, p<0.01.
