Coincidence timing accuracy of junior tennis players

2009-09-01
The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of age and gender on coincidence timing accuracy (CTA) of junior tennis players (ages of 8-9- 10). The Bassin Anticipation Timer Device was administered to measure CTA of participants (n=228). A 3x2 ANOVA was conducted to analyze age groups and gender differences on CTA. Results revealed that 10 year-old players had significantly lower CTA scores than eight year-old players and male players performed more precisely on CTA than their female counterparts. These results suggest that both age and gender have effects on CTA.

Coincidence anticipation time of experienced tennis players: effect of stimulus speed and the use of the racket
Kirazcı, Sadettin; Söğüt, Mustafa (2016-11-04)
Main purpose of this study was to examine the effects of various stimulus speeds on Coincidence Anticipation Timing (CAT) performance of experienced tennis players. Secondary purpose was to investigate whether using a button (a classical condition) or a tennis racket (a sport specific condition) for measurement makes a difference in testing performance of the athletes. Participants were 41 tennis players (21 girls & 20 boys) whose age was between 11 to 17 years (M=14.2, SD=3.81). The participants were consi...
COINCIDENCE-ANTICIPATION TIMING REQUIREMENTS ARE DIFFERENT IN RACKET SPORTS
AKPINAR, SELÇUK; Devrilmez, Erhan; Kirazcı, Sadettin (2012-10-01)
The aim of this study was to compare the coincidence-anticipation timing accuracy of athletes of different racket sports with various stimulus velocity requirements. Ninety players (15 girls, 15 boys for each sport) from tennis (M age = 12.4 yr., SD = 1.4), badminton (M age = 12.5 yr., SD = 1.4), and table tennis (M age = 12.4 yr., SD = 1.2) participated in this study. Three different stimulus velocities, low, moderate, and high, were used to simulate the velocity requirements of these racket sports. Tennis...
Stature: Does it really make a difference in match-play outcomes among professional tennis players?
Söğüt, Mustafa (2018-01-01)
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of body height on match-play characteristics among professional tennis players participated in the 2017 Wimbledon Championships. Anthropometric features and 11 match-play statistics of 119 players (male=60, female=59) were obtained from the official web page of the tournament and/or from the ATP and WTA. They were divided into three consecutive sub-groups according to their heights. Results revealed that, regardless of gender, players in the tallest gro...
Ball speed during the tennis serve in relation to skill level and body height
Söğüt, Mustafa (2016-07-01)
The purpose of this study was to determine the possible relations between serve speed and tennis skill level, and body height. Participants were male (n= 16) and female (n= 17) junior (age= 13.58 ± 1.25) tennis players. Serve speed was evaluated through using a sports radar gun. Tennis skill level was assessed by means of International Tennis Number (ITN) on-court assessment protocol. Pearson’s correlation coefficient indicated significant and positive relationships between serve speed and ITN in both male ...
Gross motor coordination in junior tennis players
Söğüt, Mustafa (Informa UK Limited, 2016-11-01)
The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to determine the gross motor coordination performance levels of junior tennis players and (2) to analyse the effects of age and gender. Participants were junior male (n=50) and female (n=51) tennis players aged 6-14. Korperkoordinationstest fur Kinder (KTK) was used to assess the gross motor coordination of the participants. Results revealed that none of the participants performed lower than normal level in motor coordination. Besides, 40.6% of the participants per...
