Towards a new hitting model in tennis
نویسنده
چکیده
This study highlights recent observations in tennis which have revealed that the head position and gaze direction during the hitting process distinguished significantly elite players (with significant results in Grand Slam tournaments) from other top players: Elite players spent more time tracking the ball and fix the contact zone (or hitting zone) throughout the hitting action. These characteristics of elite players provide the basis for a simplified hitting model which emphasizes the fixation on the contact zone until the end of the followthrough.

The Effect of Grip Size on the Hitting Force During a Soft Tennis Forehand Stroke
BACKGROUND Grip size of a tennis racquet has been reported to influence performance, but clear evidence of a correlation has yet to be established. HYPOTHESIS Hitting force during a soft tennis forehand stroke correlates with grip size. STUDY DESIGN Controlled clinical study. METHODS A total of 40 healthy volunteers (20 men and 20 women) with a mean age of 21.9 years were enrolled. Of the...
متن کاملSimulating Human Table Tennis with a Biomimetic Robot Setup
Playing table tennis is a difficult motor task which requires fast movements, accurate control and adaptation to task parameters. Although human beings see and move slower than most robot systems they outperform all table tennis robots significantly. In this paper we study human table tennis and present a robot system that mimics human striking behavior. Therefore we model the human movements i...
متن کاملA Computational Model of Human Table Tennis for Robot Application
Table tennis is a difficult motor skill which requires all basic components of a general motor skill learning system. In order to get a step closer to such a generic approach to the automatic acquisition and refinement of table tennis, we study table tennis from a human motor control point of view. We make use of the basic models of discrete human movement phases, virtual hitting points, and th...
متن کاملLearning to Select and Generalize Striking Movements in Robot Table Tennis
Learning new motor tasks autonomously from interaction with a human being is an important goal for both robotics and machine learning. However, when moving beyond basic skills, most monolithic machine learning approaches fail to scale. In this paper, we take the task of learning table tennis as an example and present a new framework which allows a robot to learn cooperative table tennis from in...
متن کاملLower Limb and Trunk Function in the High Performance Tennis Serve
The The kinematic interrelationships between the lower limbs, pelvis, trunk, and racquet in the performance of the high velocity tennis serve were investigated for 10 participants using a 12 camera opto-reflective Vicon MX system, operating at 250Hz. The average absolute peak racquet centre velocity was 34.0m∙s-1, which is comparable to previous studies using high performance players. Peak vert...
