“…This test has been developed to assist National Associations to cater more fully to the recreational players that do not play competitively on a regular basis. Though, the ITF recognises some of the limitations of any non-competitionbased assessment in Tennis (for example, the static feeding, only assessing strokes in a closed situation, only certain strokes being assessed) (Olcucu, &Vatansever, 2015).…”

The aim of this study is to compare the precision of low and high-level padel players in a closed task and its relationships with the heart rate responses to the exercise. A sample of 49 male players of two practice levels (age, 36.73±1.50) was selected to participate in this study. Technical performance was analysed through the Groundstroke Padel Accuracy Test (GPA) and heart rate during and after the task was monitored. There were no statistically significant differences in the GPA test, but even so the results showed a heart rate recovery at 60 and 120 sec were significantly higher for the high-level group [HRR1, U = 189, p = 0,026, d = 0,32 (moderate effect); HRR2, U = 186,50, p = 0,023 d = 0,32 (moderate effect)]. We conclude that it would be relevant to measure other product variables in order to make this field test (GPA) even more effective in the evaluation the real technical level of padel players. Additionally, high-level players recuperate faster after the effort, which appear to indicate that they may be better aerobically prepared. Keywords: Padel, Groundstroke Padel Accuracy test, heart rate, precision, agility.

“…It has been argued that higher levels of stiffness, especially in the upper body, may have some negative influence on the ITN by interfering with speed production ( 15 ). Others noted that the ITN in young children (8–10 years old) was significantly and directly correlated with the standing long jump, that is, greater distances were correlated with better performance on the ITN ( 16 ). However, none of these predicted the ITN.…”

“…Furthermore, no attempt was found to predict the ITN based on physical fitness variables that are related to tennis. As far as we know, (i) only two studies reported correlations between the ITN and variables related to physical fitness ( 15 , 16 ), of which (ii) one study analyzed the effect of a training program on a specific feature of the ITN ( 13 ) and the other analyzed the effect of OTT and high-intensity interval training on the ITN ( 14 ). Thus, it can be argued that the literature lacks information on the ITN test, especially because it is a test used worldwide to classify or evaluate the level of players based on an on-court assessment.…”

The study aimed to (i) verify the effects of an on-court training program on the International Tennis Number (ITN) of young tennis players, as well as on a set of change of direction, linear sprint, and maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) variables, and (ii) identify the main predictors of ITN. The sample consisted of 20 young male tennis players (mean age, 13.62 ± 0.23 years). Players underwent a 6-week on-court training program. The ITN and a number of change of direction variables (T-drill and repeated sprint ability), linear sprint (5 m, 10 m, and 20 m distances), and VO2max were measured. All variables improved significantly between the pre- and posttest (p < 0.001). The ITN (7.98 ± 6.06%, d = 0.82) and VO2max (6.77 ± 1.21%, d = 1.53) showed the greatest relative improvement with moderate to large effect sizes. The hierarchical linear model retained the time (estimate = 18.90, p < 0.001) and the T-drill (estimate = −64.77, p < 0.001) as significant predictors of the ITN. This indicates that the ITN improved significantly over the 6-week training program and that the T-drill test was the best and most significant predictor. Coaches and researchers are encouraged to monitor the ITN along with other physical fitness and technical variables. They can also use the T-drill test to understand the ITN of their players.

Kalçadaki kas güçsüzlüğü nedeniyle değişen kalça kinematiği, alt ekstremitelerin tüm kinetik zincirinin dinamik dengesizliğine sebep olabilir. Bu durum bir taraftan tenise özgü performansı olumsuz etkilerken diğer taraftan pratikte gerçekleştirilen tekrarlı aktiviteler sırasında sporcuların sakatlık eğilimlerinde artış meydana getirebilir. Bu çalışmada, elit düzey tenis oyuncularının çeviklik, dikey sıçrama, esneklik ve izokinetik kalça kuvvetlerinin tespit edilmesi ve izokinetik kalça kuvvetleri ile ilişkili motor özelliklerin tespit edilmesi amaçlandı. Çalışma, 16-20 yaş aralığındaki 15 erkek elit tenisçinin gönüllü katılımı ile yürütüldü. Sporcuların boy, vücut ağırlığı ve vücut kitle indeksi özellikleri tespit edildikten sonra izokinetik kalça kuvvetleri, T çeviklik testi performansları, otur uzan esneklik testi seviyeleri ve dikey sıçrama performansları incelendi. Sonraki aşamada 60o/sn, 180o/sn ve 240o/sn açısal hızlarda izokinetik kalça kuvveti ile sıçrama, çeviklik ve esneklik performansları arasındaki ilişkiler incelendi. Elde edilen sonuçlar, sporcuların izokinetik kalça tepe tork seviyeleri ile esneklik ve sıçrama performansları arasında anlamlı ilişkiler olduğunu, fakat çeviklik performansları ile arasındaki ilişkilerin anlamlı olmadığını gösterdi. Sonuç olarak, elit tenisçilerde hamstring- bel grubu esnekliği ve sıçrama performansı, onların kalça kuvvetlerini destekleyici motorik parametrelerdir.
