“…Because of the paucity of investigations about the topic, it is difficult to compare our results with other studies. While the degree of motor coordination seems to be an important predictor of motor performance in different sports [12][13][14][15][16][17][18], little is known about this relationship in volleyball. Specifically in volleyball, Pion et al [19] found that high-level young female players had better motor coordination compared with their average-level peers.…”

“…In addition, the relationship has also been investigated between the degree of motor coordination and performance in different sports [11], such as tennis [12,13], table tennis [14], soccer [15], gymnastic [16,17], judo [18], and volleyball [19]. Overall, these findings have suggested that the degree of motor coordination is an important predictor of sports performance in youth athletes.…”

Purpose. While the usefulness of gross motor coordination score as predictor of sports performance in young athletes has been demonstrated, practical applications in the settings where the focus is not on elite performance is limited. Further, little is known about the extent to which gross motor coordination score is associated with sport-specific skills among adolescent nonathletes. The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between the degree of gross motor coordination and execution in specific volleyball tests among adolescent non-athletes. Methods. The total of 34 students (27 females and 7 males) aged 13-14 years who regularly participated in volleyball during physical education classes were randomly recruited. Gross motor coordination was assessed with the Körperkoordinationstest für Kinder. Motor performance on volley-specific skills was indicated by two product-oriented tasks: volleyball under service and service reception. correlation and linear regression analyses were applied to examine the associations between motor coordination scores and motor performance in volley-specific skills. Results. Motor coordination score was positively correlated with motor performance on specific skills (r = 0.503, p = 0.02). Linear regression analysis revealed that motor coordination score accounted for 23% of the variance in the motor performance on volleyball skills (R 2 = 0.253, R 2 adjusted = 0.230, F = 10.836, p = 0.02). Conclusions. The degree of gross motor coordination seems to play a significant role in the execution of specific volleyball tasks.

“…Table 2 shows the study authors; number, sex, age, performance level and tennis experience of subjects; measures of technical and tactical skills; and results reported in the 40 articles included in the review. Nine studies were included in the technical skills category (Girard, Micallef, & Millet, 2005, 2007Kolman, Huijgen, Kramer, Elferink-Gemser, & Visscher, 2017;Landlinger et al, 2012;Lyons, Al Nakeeb, Hankey, & Nevill, 2013;Martin, Bideau, Ropars, Delamarche, & Kulpa, 2014;Söğüt, 2017;Vergauwen et al, 2004;Vergauwen, Spaepen, Lefevre, & Hespel, 1998). Five of these studies were of high methodological quality and four were of good methodological quality.…”

“…Five of these studies were of high methodological quality and four were of good methodological quality. There was strong evidence that ball velocity produced in serves and/or groundstrokes differentiates professionals from advanced players and advanced players from intermediate players and novices (Girard et al, 2005(Girard et al, , 2007Kolman et al, 2017;Landlinger et al, 2012;Martin et al, 2014;Söğüt, 2017;Vergauwen et al, 1998Vergauwen et al, , 2004. The findings of Landlinger et al (2012) and Vergauwen et al (1998) showed higher ball velocities produced by forehand strokes compared with backhand strokes.…”

The aim of this systematic review is to provide an overview of outcome measures and instruments identified in the literature for examining technical and tactical skills in tennis related to performance levels. Such instruments can be used to identify talent or the specific skill development training needs of particular players. Searches for this review were conducted using the PubMed, Web of Science, and PsycInfo databases. Out of 733 publications identified through these searches, 40 articles were considered relevant and included in this study. They were divided into three categories: (1) technical skills, (2) tactical skills and (3) integrated technical and tactical skills. There was strong evidence that technical skills (ball velocity and to a lesser extent ball accuracy) and tactical skills (decision making, anticipation, tactical knowledge and visual search strategies) differed among players according to their performance levels. However, integrated measurement of these skills is required, because winning a point largely hinges on a tactical decision to perform a particular stroke (i.e., technical execution). Therefore, future research should focus on examining the relationship between these skills and tennis performance and on the development of integrated methods for measuring these skills.

“…Coordination ability is a means of harmonizing individual elements of the movement in a single system for solving a specific motor task, which manifests itself in the accuracy and timeliness of its implementation (Bykova, 2016;Sogut, 2017).…”

Purpose: substantiation and development of a methodology for developing the coordination abilities of rugby players of 16-17 years as the basis of technical readiness. Material and methods of research: 30 rugby players aged 16-17 who participated in the Junior Championship of Ukraine participated in the study. A special program of coordination training was developed, which contributed to the manifestation of technical preparedness in the difficult competitive conditions of the rugby team. The level of influence of coordination abilities on technical preparedness was determined by the correlation coefficient between these indicators. Result: a special program for the development of coordination abilities for rugby players aged 16-17 was developed, which included a system of exercises aimed at increasing vestibular stability, accuracy of reproduction of traffic parameters after various abrupt stops, rotations and confrontations of athletes of the opposing team. Indicators of tests of coordination abilities reliably correlate with indicators of technical preparedness of athletes. Conclusion: conducted researches made it possible to justify the necessity of introducing these parameters of the program, which are based on adaptive regularities of the athlete's body systems to physical loads and reliably correlate with the indicators of technical readiness.
