## Caption

You’ll never look at a tennis player’s racket arm the same way again 🎾
 
As a professional tennis player trains year after year, their skeleton adapts to the repeated impact of every shot. This causes the bones in their racket arm to become up to 20% thicker and stronger than the other and reduces the risk of breaking.
