Influence of racket properties on injuries and performance in tennis.
نویسنده
چکیده
Racket properties may affect tennis elbow development. Shock and vibration to the arm is influenced by the location of ball impacts on the racket head, racket stiffness, and grip force. Beginners experience increased arm loads, and they hit the ball lower on the racket head. Tennis rackets behave differently during actual play compared with the performance predicted by physics.

The tennis racket design had many improvements in last few years. The racket heads have grown larger, on frames that have become lighter. The racket frame and strings are of great importance for the player performance. The paper proposes synthesis and mechanical testing of Nylon6,6/MWNT newer nanocomposite material to a tennis racket frame , the strings made by nylon fiber , the creating model ...
متن کاملJoint Kinetics to Assess the Influence of the Racket on a Tennis Player's Shoulder.
This study aimed at investigating the influence of three rackets on shoulder net joint moments, power and muscle activity during the flat tennis serve under field- conditions. A 6-camera Eagle(®) motion analysis system, operating at 256 Hz, captured racket and dominant upper limb kinematics of the serve in five tennis players under three racket conditions (A: low mass, high balance and polar mo...
متن کاملCorrelation between lower body stiffness and agility in racket-sports athlete
Stiffness is an index for determination of elastic properties of body and its optimum range is different in various motion patterns. The Spring-mass model is used for calculating stiffness. In this method, the whole leg is modeled with a linear simple spring. The aim of this study is determination of lower body stiffness and evaluation of its correlation with agility, as dominant motion patt...
متن کاملInjuries in racket sports among Slovenian players.
On the sample of 83 top Slovenian athletes we have studied the frequency of injuries among table tennis, tennis and badminton players, types of injuries and severity of injuries--the latter based on data of players absences from training and/or competition processes. The most liable parts to injuries are shoulder girdle (17.27%), spine (16.55%) and ankle (15.83%), while foot (10.07%) and wrist ...
متن کاملKinematics of table tennis topspin forehands: effects of performance level and ball spin.
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether performance level and ball spin affect arm and racket kinematics of the table tennis topspin forehand. Nine advanced and eight intermediate male table tennis players hit topspin forehands against light and heavy backspins. Five high-speed video cameras were used to record their strokes at 200 fps. Contributions of joint rotations to the racke...
