  • Upper Limb Kinematics During the Topspin Double-Handed Backhand Stroke in Tennis
    38th International Society of Biomechanics in Sport Conference, Physical conference cancelled, Online Activities: July 20-24, 2020 UPPER LIMB KINEMATICS DURING THE TOPSPIN DOUBLE-HANDED BACKHAND STROKE IN TENNIS Nicholas A. Busuttil1, Machar Reid2, Molly Connolly2,3, Ben J. Dascombe4 & Kane J. Middleton1 Sport and Exercise Science, School of Allied Health, Human Services, and Sport, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia1 Game Insight Group, Tennis Australia, Melbourne, Australia2 Institute for Health and Sport, Victoria University, Melbourne, Australia3 Applied Sport Science and Exercise Testing Laboratory, School of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Newcastle, Ourimbah, Australia4 The purpose of this study was to compare non-dominant wrist kinematics during tennis double-handed backhand strokes in players using either an eastern or continental grip position. Trajectory data for two grips (eastern & continental) and depths (deep & short) were captured for sixteen sub-elite right-handed tennis players using a 12-camera Vicon motion capture system (250 Hz). The eastern grip demonstrated significantly faster horizontal racket head velocities compared to the continental grip. However, no differences were observed in accuracy or spin rate between grips (p > 0.05). In the non-dominant upper limb for the continental condition, elbow flexion was smaller while wrist extension was larger throughout the swing. Collectively, these data suggest that the continental grip may place the wrist in a position that is more vulnerable to overuse injury. KEYWORDS: ulna, wrist, kinematics, grip, tennis. INTRODUCTION: Acute wrist pain is among the most common issues reported by elite and recreational tennis players, and it is a likely result of the wrist being the first major upper limb joint to absorb ball impact forces (Stuelcken, Mellifont, Gorman, & Sayers, 2017; Elliott, 2006).

  • 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.

Master's thesis in Applied Mechanics ELIAS BLOMSTRAND MIKE DEMANT Department of Applied Mechanics Division of Solid Mechanics Chalmers University of Technology Abstract Badminton, said to be the worlds fastest ball sport, is a fairly unknown sport from a scientific point of view. There has been great progress made to get from the old wooden rackets of the 19th century to the light-weight high performance composite ones used today, but the development process is based on a trial and error method rather than on scientific knowledge. The limited amount of existing studies indicate that racket parameters like shaft stiffness, center of gravity and head geometry affect the performance of the racket greatly.

  • Tennis Study Guide
    TENNIS STUDY GUIDE HISTORY Mary Outerbridge is credited with bringing tennis to America in the mid-1870’s by introducing it to the Staten Island Cricket and Baseball Club. In 1880 the United States Lawn Tennis Association (USLTA) was established, Lawn was dropped from the name in the 1970’s and now go by (USTA). Tennis began as a lawn sport, but later clay, asphalt and concrete became more standard surfaces. The four most prestigious World tennis tournaments include: the U.S. Open, Australian Open, French Open, and Wimbledon . In 1988, tennis became an official medal sport. Tennis can be played year round, is low in cost, and needs only two or four players; it is also suitable for all age groups as well as both sexes. EQUIPMENT The only equipment needed to play tennis consists of a racket, a can of balls, court shoes and clothing that permits easy movement. The most important tip for beginners to remember is to find a racket with the right grip. The net hangs 42 inches high at each post and 36 inches high at the center. RULES The game starts when one person serves from anywhere behind the baseline to the right of the center mark and to the left of the doubles sideline. The server has two chances to serve legally into the diagonal service court. Failure to serve into the court or making a serving fault results in a point for the opponents. The same server continues to alternate serving courts until the game is finished, and then the opponent serves.

  • Glossary of Tennis Terms
    Glossary of Tennis Terms • A o Ace: a service point won by the server because the receiver doesn’t return, or even touch, the ball. Advantage (or ad) court: left-hand side of the court. o Advantage (or Ad): the point played after deuce, which if won, ends the game. o Advantage set: a set that can only be won when one opponent has won six games and is two games clear of their opponent. o All: term used when both players have the same number of points from 15-15 (15-all) to 30- 30 (30-all). When the score is 40-40 the term is deuce. o All-court player: someone who is equally comfortable playing from the baseline, mid-court and net. o Alley: (see tramlines.) o Approach shot: a shot used by a player to pin their opponent behind the baseline so that they can run to the net for a volley. • B o Back court: area behind the court between the baseline and the back fence. o Backhand: shot struck by holding the racquet in the dominant hand but swinging the racquet from the non-dominant side of the body with the back of the dominant hand pointing in the direction the ball is being hit. (See also two-handed backhand.) o Backspin: spin imparted on the underside of the ball causing it to revolve backwards while travelling forwards. Used in slice and drop shots. o Backswing: component of the swing where the racquet is taken back behind the body in preparation for the forward motion that leads to contact with the ball.

  • Settling Disputes
    SETTLING DISPUTES Disagreements between players on line calling and scoring are common within competitive tennis. When disputes occur within official competitions it’s important that they are handled in a fair, consistent and efficient manner. The following steps detail how to settle disputes. LINE CALLS This involves a player making a subjective decision which ultimately could have a big effect on the outcome of the match. This a hot issue particularly for Juniors who for many reasons, often do not accurately see the ball in relation to lines. Witnessed Line Calls If an referee or court supervisor witnesses a blatantly incorrect call, they can go on-court and tell the player that the incorrect call, was an unintentional hindrance to his/her opponent and the point will be replayed, unless it was a point-ending shot and therefore the point will be awarded to the opponent. In the case of matches played on a clay court, the point is awarded to the opponent regardless of whether it is a point-ending shot or not. Unwitnessed Line Call Dispute (non-clay courts): • Ask the player whose call it was, if they are sure of their call. o If yes, the call stands. o If no, then the point should be replayed. • If you think it would be beneficial to have the match supervised (and this is possible), have the Supervisor stay on the court for the remainder of the match. Advise players that he/she will correct any clearly incorrect calls. • If it is not possible to allocate an adult to supervise the match, you should watch the next few points from off the court and then keep a discreet but watchful eye on the rest of the match.
