“…to the NAVTEN and Smekal's protocol (29 It would certainly be interesting to compare these four tennis specific tests either with direct VO 2 measures to see if they all solicit the aerobic metabolism to its maximum or to the same extend or solely with the performance score to know their equivalences.…”

COMPARISON OF TWO AEROBIC FIELD TESTS IN YOUNG TENNIS PLAYERSThis study compares the maximal responses of a new aerobic tennis field test, the NAVTEN to a known aerobic field test, often used with young tennis players, i. 208±9.5, respectively) and VO 2 peak (54.2±5.9 vs. 54.9±6.0 ml kg -1 min -1 ). Pearson correlations between both tests were 0.88 and 0.92 for VO 2 peak and maximal speed, respectively. NAVTEN yielded VO 2 peak values that are typical for active subjects of that age and are similar to the 20m SRT supporting its use to measure aerobic fitness of young tennis players in specific and entertaining field conditions. The fact that two thirds of the tennis players achieved a different ranking (± 1 rank) with the NAVTEN and the 20-m SRT, suggests that the NAVTEN may be more specific than the 20-m SRT to assess aerobic fitness of tennis players. From a practical point of view, the NAVTEN test is more specific and pedagogical for young tennis players even though both tests yield similar maximal values.

“…Söğüt et al (28) determined that the mean body weight of tennis players in the junior category A was 42 kg whereas it was 38 kg for players in category C. According to a study conducted by Smekal et al (27), mean body weight of male tennis players was found to be 73 kg. Bahamonde et al (1) found that the mean body weight of male college tennis players was 77 kg.…”

Performance in tennis involves various physical, technical/tactical and psychological factors together with a combination of abilities of agility, speed and power. On the other hand today serves have been a most important factor in winning a match. This study examined the effects of 6-week specific exercises program on serve performance and anthropometric characteristics in tennis players. Twenty competitive healthy tennis players were randomly divided into control and training groups. While the training group (n=10, 22.8±1.6 years) performed combined routine tennis training and 3 sessions (each session 45 -60 min) including medicine ball, resistance and balance exercises, the control group (n=10, 18±0.0 years) only performed routine tenn is training on court. Serve velocity, body height and weight, body fat ratios were assessed initially and at the end of the six week exercise program. As a result, tennis specific exercise training performed together with the 6-week tennis exercises program provided further improvement in the serve velocity of tennis players than those in the control group (p<0.05). In conclusion, specific exercises are recommended to be performed in order to increase service speed.

“…A necessidade do uso de teste específico ou semiespecífico já foi mencionada na literatura por diversos pesquisadores (7,14,15) . No tênis de mesa, apenas poucos estudos utilizaram procedimentos específicos na avaliação da aptidão física (8)(9)(10) , sendo a maior parte deles nos esportes com raquetes realizados no tênis (7,11,14,17) badminton (16,18) e squash (19)(20)(21)(22) . No estudo realizado por Steininger e Wodick (20) foi encontrada alta correlação entre o teste específico para essa modalidade e o ranking de performance determinado subjetivamente (r = 0,90), mas essa alta correlação com o ranqueamento não foi verificada quando comparado com o teste em corrida em esteira rolante (r = 0,52).…”

“…Por esse motivo, esses procedimentos foram adaptados para condições mais específicas de cada esporte (4,5) , almejando apresentar mais similaridade com o movimento realizado na competição. Por isso, várias investigações foram realizadas comparando as respostas dos testes aplicados no laboratório em ergômetros convencionais com testes realizados em campo (6,7) . No tênis de mesa são quase inexistentes investigações que utilizaram procedimentos específicos de avaliação para esse esporte.…”

“…Contudo, a comparação do uso de ergômetros específico e convencional para essa modalidade ainda não foi investigada. Nos esportes com raquetes, estudo comparando ergômetros específicos e convencionais foram realizados principalmente no tênis (7,11) . Smekal et al (1,11) encontraram diferenças significativas entre variáveis fisiológicas mensuradas em condições específicas e em testes laboratoriais, mencionando a necessidade da aplicação de procedimentos específicos no tênis.…”

RESUMoO objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a necessidade de utilizar protocolo específico para avaliar a capacidade aeróbia de mesatenistas, comparando os testes aplicados em ergômetro específico com ergô-metros convencionais. Para isso, nove mesatenistas foram os participantes do estudo (18,22 ± 2,33 anos; altura de 1,76 ± 0,09m; massa corporal de 67,36 ± 10,03kg; gordura corporal de 14,74 ± 6,69%; e índice de massa corporal (IMC) de 21,69 ± 2,71kg/m 2 ). Foram aplicados os testes de lactato mínimo, realizados no ergômetro de braço (LAC min braço) e no cicloergômetro (LAC min ciclo) (ergômetros convencionais) e o teste de limiar anaeróbio em procedimento específico para o tênis de mesa (LAn espec ) utilizando um lançador de bolas mecânico como ergômetro. Como procedimentos estatísticos foram utilizados o teste de análise de variância (ANOVA) one way e o teste de correlação produto-momento, com nível de significância de 5%. O LAn espec (48,11 ± 6,82 bolas . min -1 ) não foi significativamente correlacionado com a intensidade de LAC min braço (91,94 ± 11,51W) (r = 0,18; p = 0,72); e apresentou correlação negativa com a intensidade de LAC min ciclo (157,97 ± 12,51W) (r = -0,80; p = 0,02). Desse modo, os resultados encontrados no estudo levam a concluir que existe necessidade do uso de protocolo específico para mensurar a capacidade aeróbia no tênis de mesa.Palavras-chave: teste específico, tênis de mesa, ergômetros, limiar anaeróbio, lactato mínimo. aBStRaCtThe aim of this study was to verify the necessity to use a specific protocol for evaluating the aerobic capacity in table tennis players, comparing the tests applied in conventional ergometers with test applied in specific ergometer. Nine table tennis players were participants in the study (18.22 ± 2.33 years; 1.76 ± 0.09 m of height; 67.36 ± 10.03 kg of body mass; 14.74 ± 6.69 % of fat mass and 21.69 ± 2.71 kg/m 2 of body mass index). The participants performed lactate minimum tests in the arm ergometer and cycle ergometer; in addition to incremental test in specific ergometer for determination of the anaerobic threshold (AnTspec) through visual inspection. Statistical procedures used Analysis of Variance test (oneway ANOVA) and the Pearson correlation test, with level of significance of 5%. There was not significant correlation between the AnTspec (48.11 ± 6.82 shots.min-1) and the lactate minimum intensity obtained in arm ergometry (91.94 ± 11.51 W) (r=0.18; p=0.72). The lactate minimum intensity in cycle ergometer (157.97 ± 12.51 W) presented significant correlation with the AnTspec (r=-0.80; p=0.02), but a negative correlation was verified. Therefore, a specific protocol is needed for measuring the aerobic capacity in table tennis.
