The matter of prevention of injuries and diseases of the upper limbs of the musculoskeletal system, particularly lateral epicondylitis in tennis players aged 14-16 years, has been insufficiently researched. Thanks to the developed method of secondary prevention of lateral epicondylitis in tennis players in the pre-season stage training phase it was possible to reduce the period of transition to full-value training, restore muscle balance between extensor and flexor muscles of the forearm, increase arm muscle strength, range of motions in the elbow joint, improve speed-strength abilities of the muscles of the upper limb, and also increase the amount of technical and tactical actions for the training session. The sample consisted of 26 boys (14 - experimental group and 12 - control group) and 18 girls (9 people in each of the groups), first-class athletes and CMS.
The main experiment was conducted in two stages: the first one - in February 2014, after the 1st season (winter), the second - in August 2014, after the 2nd season (summer).

Keywords: sports injuries, lateral epicondylitis, prevention, musculoskeletal system, tennis players.
