“…The correct foundation based on this study uses a semi-western grip which is often used by regional and national level athletes. grip contributes to the biomotor quality of an athlete [8].study concluded that the horizontal grip speed of the estern grip racket is faster than the continental grip on the backhand technique [9]. When the athlete is in a position ready to receive the ball from the opponent, the head of the racket is above the grip.…”

In a tennis game, effective and efficient biomechanics motion is very important to produce maximum explosive power. In addition to blocking the flow of ball power, the wrong stroke motion is also expected to cause injury. This study uses R&D with a sampling technique using purposive sampling of 10 national athletes. The instrument developed is biomechanical motion including foundation, rotation, force position, impact and follow through. The results show that the most crucial aspect of the foundation is how athletes use the forehand grip correctly, namely the semi western. Correct rotational motion plays an important role in gathering energy by means of good and fast body elasticity. A good strength position utilizing the position of the shoulders, chin, inactive hands, body position and elbows must carry out their functions properly in a regular series of movements. The correct impact is done at perfect momentum and the eyes are focused on the ball, the racket is slightly horizontal, the weight is transferred forward through the left knee and the shooting distance is not too far or too close to the body. The folow trough should be accelerated and let it flow naturally until it runs out to the sides. The conclusion of the forehand technique if done with the correct biomechanical motion will affect the power of the stroke, the more effective the movement, the greater the power generated

The use of wearable devices for player motion analysis is becoming a popular method to measure kinematic parameters associated with player techniques in racket sports. This systematic review focused on identifying the current applications of wearable technology for player motion analysis in racket sports (tennis, table tennis, badminton and squash) through two research questions: (1) What are the existing applications of wearable technology for player motion analysis in racket sports? (2) What data analysis methods are used to quantify and evaluate player motion? A comprehensive search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, SPORTDiscus, Scopus, Web of Science, and IEEE databases was undertaken following PRISMA reporting guidelines. Included studies must have only used external wearable technology mounted to either the player or the racket for the potential application of player motion analysis in a racket sport, tested the wearable technology under normal playing conditions and not only focused on detecting/classifying the player's stroke or activity movement. Of the 6616 articles found, a total of 15 studies met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Tennis and table tennis were the most popular sports researched and inertial measurement units and electromyography sensors were the most common types of sensors used. This review found that wearable devices were mainly used to analyze (1) movement similarities and differences of players at different playing levels, (2) variability in racket, upper limb and joint movement patterns and (3) movement differences associated with different ball spin levels. These technologies can create a new level of accessible personalized training in these sports.

“…In this context, Busuttil et al. 20 also identified the generation of ball speed with the backhand as a special fundamental content in the sessions. Furthermore, the use of slice and topspin effects to improve service accuracy was a special content of great relevance in the training session as pointed out by Chow et al.…”

“…considered that a forehand that adapts to the different effects and speeds of the ball was a key factor to be worked on with the players on-court. In this context, Busuttil et al 20 also identified the generation of ball speed with the backhand as a special fundamental content in the sessions. Furthermore, the use of slice and topspin effects to improve service accuracy was a special content of great relevance in the training session as pointed out by Chow et al 21 Ferna´ndez-Ferna´ndez et al 36 recommended dedicating sufficient on-court practice time to some of the variables reflected in the "Special content 2" category to assist players in developing a tactical all-court game.…”

In high performance tennis, different aspects like physical-conditioning, strategy-tactic, technical-biomechanical, psychology and skills acquisition have received large attention from the researchers. Nevertheless, the programming, periodization and planning of training sessions and competitions have not been as studied in depth. Coaches still use their experience, trial-error and subjective perceptions as methods of conducting these fundamental tasks. This article presents the design and validation of an instrument to control the technical and tactical training content on-court. The instrument was conceived by 9 experts and validated by 23 experienced coaches, who used on-court tennis exercises examples. The instrument is a useful tool for helping the coaches to improve the control of the on-court technical and tactical content and the tennis training session contents in high performance tennis players.
