This study aims to analyze the Anthropometric and Biomotor Factors that Determine the Ability of Field Tennis Service on Achievement Development Students of FKOR UNS Surakarta. The method used in this study is a quantitative research approach using a confirmatory factor analysis design. Data were processed and analyzed using SPSS software version 22 and factor analysis using the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin and Bartlett's Test. The population in this study were the 25 students of FKOR UNS tennis achievement coaching students. The sampling technique in this study used a total sampling technique. Data collection techniques using tests and measurements. Anthropometric factors that determine the ability to serve in tennis are weight with a value of 0.695, height with a value of 0.661 and arm length with a value of 0.628. The biomotor factors that determine the ability to serve in tennis are arm muscle power with a value of 0.863 and eye-hand coordination with a value of 0.653. Based on the re...

The main goal of each athlete is to achieve optimal performance. There are varieties of factors that have been indicated to have a positive impact on sports ,u"."rr. Thi aim ofthe present study is to show the factor structure of anthropometric chaiacteristics in adolescent tennis players. An exploratory factor analysis was conducted (Varimax method) on 42 anthropometric variables measured on isz male and 148 female tennis athletes, aged 8-17 years. All tennis players (Tp) included in the study have been training tennis for 2years, not less than 3 times weekly, and voluntarily participate in the present study. Statistical analysis of the collected data was performed by software SPSS 16.00. The factor structure of the anthroptmetric characterlstic in 8-17 years old tennis players showed similar results in both sexes in terms of the total explained variance (7g.og1% in boys arrd19.884oh in girls)' The two-factor and five-factor orthogonal structures were found to describe male and female groups, respectively' The conducted factor analysis of the anthropometric characteristic in adolescent tennis players allows optimizing the system for sports selection and training. The morphological parameters with the highest weight of the factor are most strongly influenced by sports activitY.

The aims of this study were to examine the relationship between anthropometric variables, physical performance, and functional test with serve velocity regarding tennis players’ level and to design regression models that effectively predict serve velocity. A sample of sixteen male tennis players participated in this study (national level = 8, professional level = 7). Anthropometric measurements (body mass, height, body mass index and body segments) and physical test (hand strength, countermovement jump, jump on serve, and serve velocity) and functional test (medicine ball throw overhead and shot put) were performed. No differences in anthropometrics and physical test were found between national and professional levels. A significant positive correlation (p < 0.05, ranging for 0.603 to 0.932) was found between some anthropometrics measurements (body mass, height, arm, forearm, and leg segments), physical parameters (hand strength, countermovement jump) and functional test (medicin...

In the present study, the purpose was to examine the effects of some physical characteristics on the stroke speed in forehand and backhand techniques in tennis. The Study Group consisted of 10-12-year-old tennis players of Isparta Süleyman Demirel University Tennis Courts (mean age 10.15±.37 (years), mean height 1.46±.06 (m) mean body weight 38.77±6.67 (kg), mean sports age 4.76±1.16 (years)). Forehand and backhand strokes were performed in a closed tennis court to control the effect of the weather in measuring ball speed. The athletes warmed up until they reached maximal forehand and backhand speed levels. Three minutes after the athletes warmed up, the tests were started. They were asked to perform forehand and backhand strokes at 8 maximal speed. Sports Radar, Power Madd was used to measure the ball speed. The measurements of the radar used to measure the speed of the ball were taken at the time of the strokes and immediately after the strokes. The strokes were made in line with ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the comparison of anthropometric parameters of elite badminton and tennis players. The sample of this study is consisting from 30 elite tennis and badminton players who participate the study voluntary.
