The Relations between Core Stability and Tennis Related Performance Determinants

2016-10-01
The purpose of the study was to investigate the relations between core stability and various performance determinants in tennis. Participants were competitive male (n= 14, age= 13.64 ± 1.65 years) and female (n= 15, age= 13.60 ± 1.72 years) junior tennis players. They were tested on core stability (sport-specific core stability test), maximal serve speed (sportsradar), dynamic balance (star excursion balance test), agility (spider run test), upper body strength (forehand and backhand medicine ball throws), and lower body strength (standing long jump test). Pearson’s correlation coefficient indicated no significant correlation between core stability and other variables in both genders. Thus, the study recommended to strength and conditioning coaches engaged with tennis players in these age groups better not to focus primarily on core stability training in order to enhance performances on the aforementioned parameters.

The effects of positive core self and external evaluations on performance appraisals
Güven, Lale; Sümer, Canan H; Department of Industrial and Organizational Psychology (2007)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of core self-evaluations (CSEs) and core external-evaluations (CEEs) on performance evaluations. It was hypothesized that people with higher levels of CSEs and CEEs would be more lenient in their performance ratings, when rating neutral performance. The second hypothesis of the study was that people with higher and lower CSEs would engage more in halo when rating neutral performance compared to people with average levels of CSEs. It was further hypoth...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of principles aiming to reduce extraneous cognitive load in learning from goal based scenario designed multimedia learning environment for learners having different working memory capacities. In addition, the effects of goal based scenario and the principles of cognitive load theory on students’ perception, motivation and satisfaction has been explored. Two versions of the multimedia were developed for this study. In the first version (+CLT), the princ...

Purpose of this study is comparing the effects of plyometric training in hypoxia and normoxia on body composition, jump and sprint performance, Wingate anaerobic power and isokinetic strength test results. 23 male volunteers from physical education students (Age=20.39±2.02) participated and were randomly divided into Plyometric training in Hypoxia (PTH)(n=8), Plyometric training in Normoxia (PTN)(n=7) and Control (n=8) groups. While PTH performed plyometric training under normobaric hypoxic conditions (3.53...

The Effect of Training Data on Hyperspectral Classification Algorithms
Özdemir, Okan Bilge; Cetin, Yasemin Yardimci (2013-01-01)
In this study, the performance of different hyperspectral classification algorithms with the same training set is investigated. In addition, the effect of the dimension and sampling strategy for the training set selection is demonstrated. Support Vector Machines (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN) and Maximum Likelihood (ML) methods are used. The contribution of using spatial information with spectral information is observed. Meanshift segmentation and window weighting methods are used for spatial information....
