Epicondylitis in the athlete

Abstract:
Epicondylitis plagues a significant proportion of athletes and can result in prolonged symptoms and suboptimal athletic performance. The diagnosis can be confused with many other pathologic entities affecting the elbow, some of which can occur concurrently. Most patients will respond favorably to a well-guided nonsurgical treatment protocol. A minority of patients will have persistent problems and will require surgical intervention that can relieve pain effectively and return patients to their preinjury level of activity.

Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
