“…There are several studies concerning the correlation between HGS, BS, and LS in adults. Kaya et al (2018) reported a high correlation between HGS and LS (r=0.863, p <0.001). Koley et al (2010) found a statistically significant correlation between LS and BS in male cricketers (p <0.05).…”

Handgrip strength is an important determinant of general health. The primary purpose of this study is to examine the handgrip strength levels in adolescents in terms of sports participation. The second purpose is to determine the association between handgrip strength and other strength parameters. Physically active adolescent athletes (n = 31, 14.26 ± 0.68 years), and the age, pubertal stage and gender-matched non-athlete adolescents (n = 31, 14.21 ± 0.66 years) at the age of 13 to 15 participated in the study. Maximum isometric muscle strength for hand, leg, and back were measured with a handheld dynamometer. Handgrip strength was correlated with leg strength and back strength (r=0.675; r=0.698, respectively). Non-athletes had lower strength values compared to the athletes (98.48 ± 38.25 kg vs 82.94 ± 33.70 kg; 91.48 ± 35.23 kg vs 70.35 ± 25.81 kg; 30.53 ± 7.05 kg; 25.97 ± 5.98 kg for leg, back and handgrip strength, respectively). There was a positive correlation between handgrip strength and other strength parameters in adolescents. Therefore, handgrip strength can be used as a general strength indicator in adolescents. Sports participation in adolescents seems to increase strength parameters notably and may affect health correlatively.

“…Despite the findings mentioned above, evidence to the contrary exists. Research indicated that lower-body strength was not only associated with service speed [ 2 , 5 ] but that knee extension peak torque was the only variable to significantly affect ball placement [ 5 ].…”

“…In contemporary tennis, predicting variables involved in players’ performance could help coaches and physical trainers design an effective training plan in order to enhance sport-specific performance. It is well-established that tennis matches require strength, cardiovascular endurance, speed and power to perform high stroke velocities, together with a complex interaction of technical and tactical skills [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. Therefore, it is possible to infer that one predominant factor cannot define a successful performance.…”

Given that serve velocity has been identified as one of the most important components influencing performance in tennis, identifying the factors associated with serve velocity is crucial for coaches and athletes. The aim of this study was to describe the relationship between physical performance, anthropometric characteristics and stroke velocity in youth tennis players. Twenty-seven youth players (male = 16, age = 15.69 ± 1.70 years; female = 11, age = 15.82 ± 1.40 years) underwent an anthropometric and physical performance assessment. On a tennis court, players were assessed for forehand, backhand and serve velocities. Pearson’s correlation coefficient revealed that forehand velocity was significantly correlated with height (r = 0.58) and handgrip strength (right hand: r = 0.68; left hand: r = 0.57), whereas backhand velocity was significantly correlated with running time (r = 0.52) and handgrip strength (right hand: r = 0.67; left hand: r = 0.55) in males. Similarly, in males, serve velocity was significantly correlated with height (r = 0.60), running time (r = 0.62) and handgrip strength (right: r = 0.77, left hand: r = 0.71). In females, a significant correlation was only demonstrated between serve velocity and body weight (r = 0.69). These findings highlight that handgrip strength, running time and body height variables are positively associated with stroke velocities in male youth tennis players.

“…Kovacs and Ellenbecker, (2011) claim that the tennis serve is a challenging motion that calls for athletes to coordinate their upper and lower limbs and joints in order to gather all forces generated on the ground and transfer them to the ball. Studies have shown a strong correlation between tennis serve speed and leg strength (Kaya et al, 2018). Reid et al (2012) found that powerful performance of lower limbs can improve the racket's capacity to support speed.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine biomechanical performance of the foot-up serve (FUS) in female tennis players at different skill levels.Methods: FUS analysis was completed in the biomechanical laboratory by 32 female college tennis players at three different levels. During FUS, 3D-biomechanical data from tennis players’ lower limbs were collected. One-way ANOVA was used to examine differences in kinematic and kinetic data between groupsResults: Range of motion (ROM) of bilateral lower-limb joints revealed significant differences in kinematics performance during both the preparation and landing cushion phases (p < 0.05). During preparation, Level 3 was significantly longer than Level 2 (P-a = 0.042, P-b = 0.001, and P-c = 0.006). During the flight phase, significant differences between levels 1 and 3 (P-a:0.002) and levels 1 and 2 (P-c:0.000) were discovered (P-a:0.002 and P-c:0.000). There were significant height differences between levels 1 and 2 as well as between levels 1 and 3. (P-a = 0.001, P-c = 0.000). During serve preparation (P-c = 0.001) and landing, GRF’s peak was significantly higher than level 3. (P-c:0.007). Significant differences were found between groups in the LLS preparation stage, with level 3 significantly higher than levels 1 and 2. (P-a = 0.000, P-b = 0.001, and P-c = 0.000); during landing, level 2 LLS was significantly higher than levels 1 and 3. (P-a = 0.000, P-b = 0.000, and P-c = 0.035).Conclusion: The range of motion of joints and the stiffness of the lower limbs have a significant impact on a tennis player’s FUS performance. A larger of joint mobility and lower-limb stiffness promote better performance during the FUS preparation stage.
