Abstract

The article discusses research which investigated the length ratio from the second or index finger to the fourth or ring finger (2D:4D ratio) in elite collegiate tennis athletes. Topics explored include the athletic ability and physiological traits associated with this 2D:4D ratio, the use of intercollegiate athletics data in comparing 2D:4D values in tennis athletes and nonathletes, and the practical application of this 2D:4D ratio data by collegiate tennis coaches.
