With the improvement of tennis technology in China, it is necessary to study the composition of its technology philosophically. This article attempts to make a preliminary discussion on some aspects from the simplicity and complexity, accuracy and fuzziness of natural dialectics category of tennis technique, to improve the knowledge of the nature and law of tennis technology from the philosophical point of view ,and also provide the philosophical basis for the improve the level of tennis. 1、The acquaintance of these two categories The development of tennis is a process from simple to complex, continuous improvement and perfection. From the development of tennis technology, the process has been experienced from simple technology to complex technology, from single tactics to comprehensive and changeable tactics. From the theory of tennis movement, it not only has experienced from simple to complex, from fuzzy to precise, but also experienced the process of describing tennis movement from complexity to simplicity, from precision to vagueness. In order to understand complex things, phenomena and processes, it is essential to break them down into simple elements or parts before they can be recognized. This is the simplicity principle. Because the elements of a complex system are not simple combinations, there are complex networks of interconnections and constraints. Therefore, you must be studied the integrity and complexity of the system.

ISBN: 978-91-7264-979-8; ISSN: 0281-6768 Abstract This thesis is about selection processes and processes of measuring and judging athletes in compe- titions in top-level sport. The purpose was to increase the knowledge of these processes and to analyse them from a validity perspective in order to contribute to the discussion of whether the “right” athletes are selected to participate in teams, competitions and games and whether the “right” athletes win. The rule and judging systems were investigated in the judged sports acroski and rhythmic gymnastics. Information was gathered through individual interviews with two judges, two coaches, and four elite athletes from each of the sports, and in addition to this the respective sport’s rule systems, judging manuals, meeting protocols and historical documents were studied.

  • Human Enhancement in Performative Cultures by Andy Miah, Phd University of the West of Scotland
    Human Enhancement in Performative Cultures by Andy Miah, PhD University of the West of Scotland Miah, A. (2009) Human Enhancement in Performative Cultures, in: Missa, J-N. & Perbal, L. (eds). Enhancement – Ethique et Philosophie de la Medecine D’Amelioration, Annales de Philosophie, pp.171-192. Abstract Discussions about the ethics of human enhancements are often situated within the normative practices of elite sports. Their appeal resides in the direct and tangible benefit that is afforded by utilizing enhancement technologies as a mechanism towards achieving greater cultural and economic capital. This measurable consequence of athletic enhancements is also of interest because it functions as a metaphor for understanding how broader systems of social organization would be affected by the widespread use of such technologies. This paper develops an overview and critique of the legislative structures on enhancement. Subsequently, a conceptual framework for understanding the role of technological effects in sport is advanced. Finally, two case studies (hypoxic chambers and gene transfer) receive specific attention, through which it is argued that human enhancement technologies can enrich the practice of elite sports rather than diminish them. It defends the use of human enhancements within society on the basis that we inhabit a performative culture comparable to sports, which values the greater efficiency of output that would be achieved by embracing such modifications. This efficiency principle need not imply that all human value be reduced to efficiency coefficients, but neither does it require that the pursuit of efficiency limits the capacity to value other social goods. Rather, one might treat human enhancements as a mechanism towards improving the health economy.

Using qualitative and quantitative methods, this article studies the version of tennis that exists today—replete with RFID chips, screen interfaces, more powerful racquets than ever before and the ubiquity of social media. As the relationship between players and fans, organisers and visitors, and even gameplay and umpiring have evolved to allow the use of several technologies, Grand Slam tennis has embraced the era of social media and technologically mediated sport.

Tennis game technical analysis is affected by factors such as complex background and on-site noise, which will lead to certain deviations in the results, and it is difficult to obtain scientific and effective tennis technical training strategies through a few game videos. In order to improve the performance of tennis game technical analysis, based on machine learning algorithms, this paper combines image analysis to identify athletes’ movement characteristics and image feature recognition processing with image recognition technology, realizes real-time tracking of athletes’ dynamic characteristics, and records technical characteristics. Moreover, this paper combines data mining technology to obtain effective data from massive video and image data, uses mathematical statistics and data mining technology for data processing, and scientifically analyzes tennis game technology with the support of ergonomics. In addition, this paper designs a controlled experiment to verify the technical analysis effect of the tennis match and the performance of the model itself.

The need for creating the guidebook emerged from the fast development in the field of sport technology and lack of material on applying accessible technological tools such as on-court data tracking systems in tennis coaching. The guidebook is limited to Zenniz game-tracking system as a tool, as it is the most used and available system in the target area, Finland. The report part of the thesis consists of recap on technologies present in the field of tennis, as well as analysis on performance indicators tracked by Zenniz system. The second part of the paper is Zenniz coaching guidebook itself.

The leaflets were distributed Tuesday and Wednesday, University Police said, and were placed on windshields of cars parked in the Hollingsworth, Main Street and Field House parking lots. Police said they did not know the number of pamphlets handed out. The pamphlets, published by a North Carolina-based Church of the Creator, state that its organization, Creativity, is a "power­ ful religious creed and program established for the survival, expansion, and advancement of the great white race, exclusively." This incident is similar to the distribution of anti-semitic material last October, but University Police say that it is too early to determine if the two occurr.ences are related.
