This study documented the citation metrics of articles published by the ITF Coaching & Sport Science Review (ITFCSSR) and indexed in Google Scholar (GS). A systematic searching of GS returned 209 unique ITFCSSR indexed articles published between 1993 and 2019 with 1139 citations. ITFCSSR articles had relatively low citation rates that confirmed previous bibliometric research on the gradual development of tennis knowledge compared to faster moving biomedical fields. ITFCSSR articles may make unique contributions to knowledge development in tennis science, particularly in coaching, physiology, and analytics/tactics.

Tennis is a sport in which various variables related to performance influence the final result of a match. The speed and precision of the shots are among the most decisive of them. The objective of this study was to develop a test to assess the performance in terms of the speed and the precision of the forehand, backhand and serve of tennis players. The sample consisted of 4 amateur players. The analysis of the data obtained in the test provides the coach with information about the level of performance of the players and their progression.

Competitive tennis places a number of unique psychological demands on players. This article discusses some basic theoretical frameworks that coaches can use to underpin a practical approach to training mental skills as part of everyday squad training. The exercises outlined are specifically aimed to improve concentration, confidence, control of emotions and commitment.

The objective of this article is to promote tennis and tennis teaching as a business, and share some strategies that coaches can use to add value to the services and products they provide. In short, it presents four main areas in which coaches may add significant value for their clients: service quality; variety in the tools used; interaction with clients; and, adaptation of services to clients.

Abstract It is unknown what teaching styles (range of pedagogies) coaches are employing during coaching sessions and whether these teaching styles are associated with recommended pedagogical principles advocated by sport and coaching scholars. It is unknown whether twenty years of coach education has shifted coaching practice as the insights into the pedagogical diversity and preference of teaching styles that underpin and inform the coaches’ decisions to employ particular teaching strategies during coaching sessions are undetermined. This paper addresses these unknowns in the field of tennis coaching in Australia by reporting the findings of a study that address the lack of information on the teaching styles employed by tennis coaches by asking the following research question: What teaching styles are junior coaches in Australia actually using during coaching sessions? This study used The Spectrum (Mosston & Ashworth, 2008) of teaching styles as a tool to assess the observed teaching styles of twelve junior coaches. Contrary to the educational convictions of Australian sport coach education materials the results from this study indicated that the coaches in this study potentially did not offer players developmental opportunities beyond a limited range (i.e., motor skill development in the physical learning domain) due to a narrow pedagogical mix in their coaching.
目前尚不清楚教练员在教练课上采用什么样的教学风格(教育学的范围),以及这些教学风格是否与体育和教练学者所倡导的推荐教学原则有关。目前尚不清楚二十年的教练教育是否已经改变了教练实践,因为对教学多样性和教学风格偏好的见解支持并告知教练在教练会议期间采用特定教学策略的决定尚不确定。本文通过报告一项研究的结果来解决澳大利亚网球教练领域的这些未知数,该研究通过提出以下研究问题来解决网球教练所采用的教学风格信息的缺乏:澳大利亚的初级教练在教练课程中实际使用的是什么教学风格?本研究使用The Spectrum of teaching styles (Mosston & Ashworth, 2008)作为工具来评估观察到的12名初级教练的教学风格。与澳大利亚体育教练教育材料的教育信念相反,本研究的结果表明,由于教练的教学组合狭窄,本研究中的教练可能没有为球员提供超出有限范围的发展机会(即身体学习领域的运动技能发展)。

Abstract This study provided a case analysis of the effects of plyometrics on post-activation potentiation (PAP) of 20-m (0-5, 0-10, 0-20 m intervals) sprint performance in strength-trained females. Three college-aged participants performed a one-repetition maximum (1RM) squat, which was used to set the load for a jump squat with 30% 1RM (JS30). Over three sessions, participants performed three PAP protocols: a control condition of 4 min rest (CC); 3 sets x 5 repetitions of the JS30; and 3 sets x 10 repetitions of the alternate leg bound (ALB). Peak and mean power were recorded during the JS30. Participants performed two baseline sprints prior to each condition, and then six sprints from immediately after for 16 min post. Results indicated that the JS30 and ALB could potentiate sprinting, although responses were highly individual. The two more powerful participants experienced more sprint enhancements across more time points than the less powerful participant. Any performance changes were in the range of 1-4%, which is typical of PAP research. It cannot, however, be confirmed whether the JS30 and ALB were superior to the CC. Nonetheless, the data suggest the JS30 and ALB could potentiate sprinting in females. Further research is needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract Accelerometry is the de facto standard in objective physical activity monitoring. However traditional accelerometer units undergo proprietary pre-processing, resulting in the ‘black-box’ phenomenon, where researchers are unaware of the processes and filters used on their data. Raw accelerometers where all frequencies related to human movement are included in the signal, would facilitate novel analyses, such as frequency domain analysis and pattern recognition. The aim of this study was to quantify the mean, standard deviation and variance of the SlamTracker raw accelerometer at a range of speeds. Four tri-axial accelerometers underwent a one minute static condition test nine movement condition tests. Accelerometers were assessed for mean, standard deviation, sample variance and coefficient of variation throughout in all axes for all experimental conditions. The sample variance was <0.001g across all speeds and axes during the movement condition tests. In conclusion, the SlamTracker is shown to be an accurate and reliable device for measuring the raw accelerations of movement.
