Abstract Fett, J, Ulbricht, A, and Ferrauti, A. Impact of physical performance anthropometric characteristics on serve velocity in elite junior tennis players. J Strength Cond Res 34(1): 192–202, 2020—This study aimed to investigate the impact components (SV) players depending sex age group. A sample best 1,019 (male = 625, female 394) squad German Tennis Federation participated involving complex measurements (body height, body mass, sitting arm span) tests (e.g., SV, medicine ball throws...
Purpose According to the official rules of International Tennis Federation, players have serve alternately from two different positions: deuce (right, D) and ad court (left, AD) side. This study aimed compare body ball kinematics flat serves both service sides. Methods In a controlled, semi-court laboratory setting, 14 elite male junior served eight first target field directed receiver’s positions in matched counterbalanced order. An 8-camera-Vicon-System was used capture 3D-landmark...
Our study aimed to examine athletics, training characteristics, and prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms male junior tennis Davis Cup players (DC) in comparison with their regional counterparts, as well evaluate the impact age performance level on characteristics. Twelve DC (male) two samples squad (RS1 n = 60 males, 47 females; RS2 59 males) participated a physical testing, an interview for data evaluation questionnaire survey orthopedic injury frequency. Results indicate higher levels...
Movement speed is considered essential for success in elite tennis. The aim of the present study was to develop a model movement components and quantify their age - gender-related relevance tennis performance. Physical testing data obtained from 1,434 nationally ranked junior squad players were divided according at peak height velocity (YPHV) into two groups (pre-PHV: n=103 girls, 11.7 ± 0.6 yrs.; n=466 boys, 12.7 1.0 post-PHV: n=524 14.2 1.4 n=344 15.3 1.2 yrs.). After assessing...

INTRODUCTION The nationwide implementation of physical performance test batteries for youth squad players can be valuable compiling individual profiles based on age- and gender-specific norm values. This approach is frequently used optimizing training prescription thus athletic development. aim this study was to introduce a distribution-based derive an effect size scale assessing development from normative testing data in players, which then translated setting goals development.METHODS...
