Presently children's access to many sports is restricted because of social and equipment costs, in addition the equipment is often not designed to suit a child's physique and capabilities. For two example sports: golf and tennis, the eftbct of equipment properties on the ability of children to generate reasonable strokes to prop el projectiles was investigated. Sixteen anthropometric measures, age, experience and grip strength were taken from each child. The results showed that the same factors, experience, arm span and grip strength, were found to have a similar influence on equipment fitting in both sports. The studies reported are the first to directly examine equipment fitting guidelines within the junior market, providing a valuable base for improving junior equipment and for further experimental work in this neglected area.
