  • 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.

Michael Eckl, Philipp Kornfeind and Arnold Baca A B C Department of Biomechanics, Kinesiology and Applied Computer Science, ZSU, University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria The purpose of this study was to compare two different playing surfaces in tennis – clay vs hard-court (OptiCourt) – in order get more insight on the influence of the effect of surface on load. Eight male tennis players performed two types of tennis specific motions. Inside plantar pressure was measured for the right foot during these movements. Higher maximum forces could be observed for the OptiCourt for the baseline D play. In more detail, maximum force, peak and mean pressure were higher for the heel region on the hard-court. Higher values were found on clay for the hallux and lesser toe Figure 3: A) T-Scan® data of MOM were we can analyse the centre of foces howing equilibrium region.
