How can I prevent ulnar nerve entrapment?
Because ulnar nerve entrapment is caused by overuse, the best way to prevent it is to avoid the activities that caused it. Because this is often impractical, it's recommended that the activity be modified to reduce the likelihood of recurrences.

If you are a bicyclist, you should have your doctor evaluate your position on the bicycle and make adjustments to assure that the weight is not too far forward and supported by the hands on the handlebars. Sometimes it helps to wear padded gloves, or add padding to the handlebars.

Shifting position of your hands from time to time during prolonged rides and generally not staying in "down position" for more than 10 or 15 minutes at a time may also help. Baseball players should make sure that their bat suits them well, and also have the biomechanical analysis of their swing checked to identify correctable form flaws that could lead to ulnar nerve entrapment.

Improving sports performance
The key to improving sports performance after recovering from ulnar nerve entrapment is a proper rehabilitation program, and adhering to some of those same principles after the injury is gone.
