“…There is a positive association between sports performance and cognitive function at rest ( Vestberg et al, 2012 ; Alexandru et al, 2014 Sakamoto et al, 2018 ; Ishihara et al, 2019 ). This line of literature focused on executive functions, which include goal-directed cognitive processes that coordinate and regulate thought and action.…”

Serve in tennis is a very important strokes and is positively correlated with the rankings of the Association of Tennis Professionals ranking. This study investigated the associations between time-course changes in the ratings for perceived exertion, executive function, and second serve accuracy during 30-min tennis exercise sessions. Eleven Japanese male tennis players participated in the study, and their executive function and second serve performance were evaluated using the paper version of the Stroop Color and Word Test, followed by a serve performance test. The participants took part in a 30-min tennis exercise program and performed the Stroop Color and Word Test, heart rate (HR) check, and second serve accuracy test before and after the tennis exercise. Pearson correlation was used to determine the relationships between the ratings for perceived exertion, interference scores on Stroop Color and Word Test performance, and second serve performance. Post exercise, the rating of perceived exertion tended to correlate with serve accuracy (r = −0.57, p = 0.07) and interference score (r = 0.65, p = 0.03). The pre-to-post changes in second serve accuracy were negatively associated with the changes in interference score (r = −0.54, p = 0.08) and interference score in the posttest (r = −0.73, p = 0.01). The results suggest that time-course changes in executive function when playing tennis are positively associated with the accuracy of the second serve. These findings expand the previous knowledge regarding the positive association between time-course changes in executive functions and percentage of points won when playing tennis by including more specific skills (i.e., second serve accuracy).

“…Forehand is a stroke that is often used by tennis athletes as the main stroke to defend and attack. This is because the results of the forehand stroke make the ball have a harder spin than the backhand shot (Evita, Yuniar;Subagio, 2016), (Alexandru et al, 2014). Many athletes use forehand strokes in the game.…”

Tennis athletes really need to master the forehand stroke well. A quality forehand technique will give athletes high confidence to be able to play tennis wellThis study aims to determine the effect of drill and elementary exercises in improving the forehand hitting ability of JPOK tennis athletes. The research method used is experimental. The study was conducted as many as 16 times the exercise. The subjects in this study were JPOK student tennis athletes, totaling 16 people. The sampling technique used is total sampling. The research instrument used was the Hewitt tennis achievement test to determine the forehand ability. Analysis of research data using t-score analysis to test the difference in the pre-test and post-test scores. The level of validation value is 0.63 and the level of reliability value is 0.75. The results of this study that both drill and elementary training methods can improve the forehand hitting ability of JPOK tennis athletes. The results of data analysis, drill exercises obtained t-count is greater than t-table 17.60 > 2.365. Forehand only effect, t-count is greater than t-table 8.05 > 2.365. Drill and elementary training methods can be used as exercises to improve tennis athletes' forehand skills. Drill training is known to have more effect on tennis forehand ability

“…Revelando que el control visual efectivo depende de procesos cognitivos particulares; por ejemplo, el control de la atención (Braddick y Atkinson, 2011). A su vez, se muestra la relación entre la orientación espacial y la atención con el rendimiento logrado por los jugadores de tenis a nivel juvenil (Alexandru et al, 2014).…”

Purpose: The presente study aims to explore the existingbibliography on visual skills and visual movements in tennisplayers.Method: We searched the Scopus, SPORTDiscus, PubMedand Google Scholar databases, which allowed us to select 37empirical studies carried out with a quantitative method.The choice of the studies responded to the criteriaestablished around the Keywords, the subject of the studyand the research methodology.Results: The results are organized into three central topics:(a) Antecedents of visual skills in the 20th century, (b) 21stcentury: Role of saccadic movements, and (c) Reflections onthe tennis feat and saccadic movements.Conclusions: Throughout several decades of researchand monitoring of the “vision and sport” approach infield tennis, specifically in the visual movements betweenfixations and saccadic movements, differential levels oftennis performance can be identified with the potential tobe indicators of better sports performance. Given that thetools used so far in this discipline for the selection and/orevaluation processes are not determinant, due to being amultifactorial sport discipline of perceptual-motor order andopen skills, it is suggested that visual skills may be essentialfor the acquisition of a high competitive level. This aspectraises an interesting line of research that deserves furtherexploration in the future.
