Breakpoint 2019 will begin on 1 June 2019 in Robyn’s home county of Hampshire and continue to over 46 venues across the UK. Each day will be a festival of tennis - open to the public to watch and participate. Through the support of the LTA, Robyn will play in parks, schools, tennis clubs, community centres and at some of the ATP and WTA grass court season tournaments in the build up to The Championships, Wimbledon. Robyn will hit her final shots at the All England Club Community Sports Ground on 30 June, the day before Wimbledon 2019 commences. “Regular participation in tennis has been shown to have significant benefits on people’s mental and physical well-being which is why it is so important that more people get involved in tennis at every age across the country”, commented Danny Sapsford, Charity Manager, Bright Ideas for Tennis.

A stereophotogrammetric system (Smart-D, BTS, 8 cameras, 550 Hz) was used to track the table tennis racket during cross-court (CC) and long-line (LL) shots. Ten national level players completed ten CC and ten LL top spin strokes responding to a robot machine. The racket motion throughout the shot showed specific technical characteristics: the minimum height of the racket was detected during the backswing phase; racket height at the end of backswing phase (maximal distance racket/table) was higher than the minimum; height at Citation: Malagoli Lanzoni, I.; the racket maximum velocity (ball/racket impact) was greater than the net’s height.

  • Tennis Technique
    THIS CONTENT IS A PART OF A FULL BOOK - TENNIS FOR STUDENTS OF MEDICAL UNIVERSITY - SOFIA https://polis-publishers.com/kniga/tenis-rukovodstvo-za-studenti/ Tennis technique I. Basics of technique. Essence of the technical training Tennis is a sport that develops primarily at the expense of improving the technique. Even the most developed motor skills, mental toughness, fighting, etc. cannot replace or compensate for its lack (Todorov 1985). Therefore, according to specialists, it should prevail in the training process as its main component (Scorrudduva 1985). Technique in sports is understood as ways of performing motor activities. "A man never moves at all, but always acts" (Bernstein 1962). In its whole, the technique represents the "exit door" to show the overall sports training. It is defined as "a specialized system of simultaneous and consecutive movements towards a rational organization of the interaction between internal and external forces acting on the athlete’s body with the aim of their fullest and most efficient use to achieve the highest possible result" (Djaichkov 1967). It includes in itself both the form and content of the athlete's movements. There are no movements unrelated to their own quantitative and qualitative aspects ( Васильев 1961). The game has usually three phases: offense - when one side controls the ball; defense - the other side does not control the ball, and intermediate - when both sides act without a ball (Ports 1986). It is played on the basis of certain established technical habits - automated elements of the conscious activity, which includes active search, information processing, mental solution and its physical implementation (Porton 1986).

    Analyzing Racket Sports From Broadcast Videos Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science in Computer Science and Engineering by Research by Anurag Ghosh 201302179 [email protected] International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad (Deemed to be University) Hyderabad - 500 032, India June 2019 Copyright c Anurag Ghosh, 2019 All Rights Reserved International Institute of Information Technology Hyderabad, India CERTIFICATE It is certified that the work contained in this thesis, titled “Analyzing Racket Sports From Broadcast Videos” by Anurag Ghosh, has been carried out under my supervision and is not submitted elsewhere for a degree. Date Adviser: Prof. C.V. Jawahar To Neelabh Acknowledgments I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my adviser, Prof. C.V. Jawahar for his constant support and encouragement to explore and chart my own research path. The freedom he has afforded has been liberating and the guidance I have got from him has been the most cherished part of my research journey. He has always been the primary source of inspiration to learn work ethics in research. I hope I have learnt a minuscule fraction from him and imbibed some his research style and methodology, apart from his rigorous yet interesting classes. I would also like to specially thank Dr. Kartheek Alahari for accepting to work with me and listening to my ideas very patiently, and I hope I have learnt some aspects of a researcher in his guidance. I’m really fond of my stints as a TA under Prof. Naresh Manwani and his encouragement and support has been unparalleled, and I surely wish to become a mentor like him some day.
