They have sailed through tests by the independent laboratory Labosport and the Institute for Sports Facilities (ISA), among other institutions. Domo® tennis products are subjected to a variety of tests as specified by the “International Tennis Federation” (ITF) and the EN15330 standard. The ITF determines the speed of the surface and then classifies it as slow, medium or fast. This classification is important in connection with the further international standardisation of equipment used in tennis. The main EN tests are: slip resistance, traction, shock absorption, water permeability and durability. • Domo® Smash has acquired the category 2, medium/slow classification from ITF and is in compliance with the EN15330 standard. • Domo® Avantage is in compliance with the EN15330 standard. TENNIS • Domo® Tiebreak is in compliance with the standards as set forth by the Netherlands FOR ALL Tennis Federation.

The fibres hold the grains of sand in place, preventing them from From left to right, from front to back, short sprints alternating with sharp turns... This requires not only talent and effort, but also moving. The sand fill also keeps the artificial grass fibres nice and straight, thereby guaranteeing greater stability. excellent traction.

Minimal maintenance Consistent even bounce thanks to perfectly level playing surface Classic tennis courts require a lot of time: to dry, to repair, to maintain, etc. Domo® Sports grass courts do not need Classic natural or gravel courts very quickly become uneven and pitted. A Domo® artificial grass court is made from fibres, maintaining with rollers. Nor do they need to be watered, and the lines do not constantly have to be made visible. These courts which creates an even artificial grass mat with a high density. This grass mat is placed on top of a level, stable and draining dry much more quickly than a classic gravel court, and are much less sensitive to problems of traction. Also, you do not need base. This guarantees a consistent, high bounce. Perfect for good topspin or slice. to water them in the summer, and they will still remain dust-free.

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.

  • 3D Kinematics Analysis of Overhead Backhand and Forehand Smash Techniques in Badminton
    Ann Appl Sport Sci 9(3): e1002, 2021. http://www.aassjournal.com; e-ISSN: 2322–4479; p-ISSN: 2476–4981. 10.52547/aassjournal.1002 ORIGINAL ARTICLE 3D Kinematics Analysis of Overhead Backhand and Forehand Smash Techniques in Badminton Agus Rusdiana * Sports Science Study Program, Faculty of Sports and Health Education, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, West Java, Indonesia. Submitted 04 April 2021; Accepted in final form 28 June 2021. ABSTRACT Background. This study aims to analyze the movement of backhand and forehand smash stroke techniques in badminton in three dimensions using a kinematics approach. Objectives. The obtained results were analyzed using a descriptive and quantitative approach. Methods. Furthermore, 24 male badminton players from the university student activity unit with an average age of 19.4 ± 1.6 years, height of 1.73 ± 0.12 m, and weight of 62.8 ± 3.7 kg participated in this study. The study was conducted using 3 Panasonic Handycams, a calibration set, 3D Frame DIAZ IV motion analysis software, and a speed radar gun. Results. The data normalization from the kinematics values of the shoulder, elbow, and wrist joint motion was calculated using the inverse dynamics method. In addition, a one-way ANOVA test was used to identify differences in the kinematics of motion between two different groups. The obtained results showed that the speed of the shuttlecock during the forehand smash was greater than that during the backhand smash. In the maximal shoulder external rotation phase, two variables were identified to have the best results during the forehand smash, i.e., the velocity of shoulder external rotation and wrist palmar flexion.

The purposes of the current study were to: 1) quantitatively describe kinematic characteristics of the forehand smash using a 15-segment, full-body biomechanical model, 2) examine and compare kinematic differences between novice and skilled players with a focus on trunk rotation (the X-factor), and 3) through this comparison, identify principal parameters that contributed to the quality of the skill. Together, these findings have the potential to assist coaches and players in the teaching and learning of the forehand smash. Twenty-four participants were divided into two groups (novice, n = 10 and skilled, n = 14). A 10-camera VICON MX40 motion capture system (200 frames/s) was used to quantify full-body kinematics, racket movement and the flight of the shuttlecock.
