Kinematic Analysis of the Serve Toss and its Impact on Serve Outcome in Competitive and Recreational Tennis Players: A Case Study
Original language description
The serve toss is crucial for executing a successful and effective serve in tennis. The aim is to determinethe relationship between the toss and the success of the flat serve between the female recreational andcompetitive tennis players. We observed 2 recreational and 8 competitive female tennis players who served 40 flatserves. They were videotaped on a high-speed camera (200Hz) from a side view. We used kinematic data andobserved the toss peak and racket-ball contact. Based on the 2D kinematic analysis, we evaluated the toss peakand the racket-ball contact of the serves: 1) in (good serves) 2) into the net 3) fault-long 4) fault-wide.Recreational players contacted the balls slightly higher and reached slower serve speed compared to competitiveplayers. The competitive players had racket-ball contact about 40 cm closer to the net compared with therecreational players. In addition, the toss variability was bigger for the recreational players. Toss training is veryimportant for players, especially in relation to their own coordination for serving, so it is important to pay a lot ofattention to the toss and its practice.
