Margaret Rose Causes Racket, Serves up Thesis
On November 16th, Senior Margaret Rose Jones will join the short list of seniors to already have presented their theses. Margaret Rose looked at specific stretching in tennis and how it can increase flexibility to reduce the risk of injuries.
She completed a study with tennis players at the Saint Andrews clinic and the Family Circle competitive level clinic. The players went through an 8-week program of specific stretches that each player performed each day before and after they played tennis. Margaret Rose found that stretching before and after playing tennis does reduce the number of injuries that players face.
From The Talon staff, we wish Margaret Rose good luck in her defense next week!
