Some biokinematic variables and their relationship to the accuracy of the forehand and backhand skills in tennis for students

Author(s):

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to identify some biokinematic variables related to the elbow joint angle at the moment of striking, the height of the starting point at the moment of striking, the angle of the starting point at the moment of striking, the height of the center of body mass at the moment of striking, and the ball's launch velocity at the moment of striking, as well as their relationship to the accuracy of students' forehand and backhand strokes. The researcher used the descriptive-analytical approach due to its suitability to the nature of the research. The research sample included (24) third-year students from the University of Kufa, College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences. Variables were extracted using the Kinovea program. After presenting, analyzing, and discussing the results, the researcher reached the following conclusions: There is a significant correlation between the variables of the elbow joint angle at the moment of striking and accuracy in the forehand stroke, there is a significant correlation between the height of the starting point at the moment of striking and accuracy in the forehand stroke, and there is a significant correlation between the variable of the ball's launch velocity at the moment of striking and accuracy in the forehand stroke. One of the most important recommendations recommended by the researchers is that: Emphasize increasing elbow extension to increase ball speed for forehand and backhand strokes, and emphasize hitting the ball at belt level to generate high speed and accuracy.
