Some quick background: The QuickStart Tennis format has been well accepted by Associate Editor mostL in this industry. The reasoning is pretty solid: When starting kids out, they should Greg Raven play on appropriately sized, shorter courts, with shorter racquets and lower-pressure Design/Art Director balls, and with modified scoring, eventually moving up to bigger courts and equipment. Kristine Thom In fact, many teaching pros are finding QST to be a huge moneymaker because Contributing Editors they can use a normal 78-foot court, divide it into four 36-foot courts, and have a large Robin Bateman number of kids playing in that space. Not only are the court sizes appropriate for the Cynthia Cantrell kids, but also the balls they use allow them to actually sustain rallies and learn proper Joe Dinoffer Liza Horan technique rig ht from the start. They have fun and learn at the same time. Now, many Greg Moran facilities are permanently lining regular courts with 36- and 60-foot lines, and an Bob Patterson increasing number of facilities are going beyond that and building shorter courts.

  • Player Perceptions and Biomechanical Responses to Tennis Court Surfaces: the Implications to Technique and Injury Risk
    PLAYER PERCEPTIONS AND BIOMECHANICAL RESPONSES TO TENNIS COURT SURFACES: THE IMPLICATIONS TO TECHNIQUE AND INJURY RISK Submitted by Chelsea Starbuck, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sport and Health Sciences September 2014 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature) ……………………………………………………………………………… 1 Abstract Elite tennis players are required to perform on a variety of tennis court surfaces which differ in mechanical characteristics, such as friction and hardness, influencing their performance and risk of injury. To understand the influence of surfaces on performance and injury risk, three studies were conducted to investigate tennis players’ perceptions and biomechanical responses during tennis-specific movements on different court surfaces. In study 1, tennis players perceptions of acrylic and clay courts were identified following a thematic inductive analysis of semi-structured interviews (n = 7) to develop of a series of visual analogue scales (VAS) to quantify perceptions during studies 2 and 3. Perceptions of predictability of the surface and players’ ability to slide and change direction emerged, in addition to anticipated perceptions of grip and hardness. Study 2 aimed to examine the influence of court surfaces and prior clay court experience on perceptions and biomechanical characteristics of tennis-specific skills.
