Tenis, badminton and table tenis is dynamic sport with significant one-sided loading, especially upper limb. We decided to do the research because there is no valid evidence about changes of wrist's range of motion of these athletes. We were gathering data with usage of goniometric measurements on wrist joint in sagital and frontal view and on thumb in frontal and transversal view. We were comparing data taken from dominant and non-dominant hand (NH). Measuring was made on group of 30 active players of tenis, on group of 30 active players of badminton and group of 30 active players of table tenis. All respondents were in the age of 15 - 18 and of both genders. These data had been evaluated and compared to each other. Based on analysis we can say that by comparig the range of motion (ROM) of both hands there was significant decrease of dorsal flexion in each examined sport, but mostly in table tennis. Decrease of ROM on dominant hand (DH) was proven in every direction of wrist joint, differently in each sport. Palmar flection and radial duction was decreased mostly on DH of badminton players. Ulnar duction was was decreased mostly on DH of tennis players.
