“…The essence of the service technology concept of tennis is to improve the players' service stability and anti-interference performance through simulated training, simulated environment, and functional training. 2 This paper focuses on how college tennis players can improve their serving speed and success rate when training their core strengths. This paper analyzes the effect of different strength training methods on the athlete's serve speed and serve success rate.…”

Introduction: Tennis is highly technical, and any error in its players’ strength training can exponentially impact the competition. A timely review and analysis of tennis players’ biomechanics will help to better understand the training system and reveal the basis for future scientific sports training strategies. Objective: Analyzes the effect of different strength training methods to design the best protocol considering tennis players’ speed and success rate. Methods: The effect of training on 40 tennis players is discussed. The volunteers were divided into the experimental and control group. The experimental group performed strength training for 40 minutes daily, thrice a week. The control group continued with conventional training. The trial lasted eight weeks. The speed and success rate of the training were tested before and after the experiment. Results: The experimental group players significantly improved serve speed (P<0.05). The success rate of the experimental group was also significantly improved (P<0.05). Conclusion: The proposed strength training significantly improved the success rates of speed in tennis players. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

“…Our second research question concerns gender as a moderator variable. Previous studies have shown that the impact of season of birth sometimes differs between women and men-albeit inconclusively (e.g., Lee, Lee & Lee, 2021;Blanch & Solé, 2021;Chotai et al, 2009;Kamata et al, 2009;Weber et al, 1998). More often, however, the role of gender has not been investigated at all.…”

Questions of Communicative Change and Continuity

Faced with the ongoing evolution of the media landscape, media and communication science is constant-ly asking itself new questions concerning the tension between stability and change in social communication. In this context, many relevant topics exist for which there are still no publications that would systematically evaluate what we know (empirically and non-empirically) so far and what conclusions can be drawn from existing knowledge. This volume aims to provide systematic answers to important current or continually relevant questions in the field, with contributions that are entirely focused on a specific question, thus leaving room for thorough arguments. The volume is dedicated to the memory of Professor Wolfram Peiser. With contributions by Hans-Bernd Brosius, Felix Frey, Romy Fröhlich, Christina Holtz-Bacha, Benjamin Krämer, Philipp Müller, Christoph Neuberger, Carsten Reinemann, Anna-Luisa Sacher, Johanna Schindler, Klaus Schönbach and Cornelia Wallner.

Questions of Communicative Change and Continuity

This study investigates the influence of season of birth on preferences for music-and television genres later in life. As early as in 1994, Wolfram Peiser and I had published survey data showing that people with fewer summer months during their first half year after birth in Germany tend to be less cheerful. In the meantime, an impressive body of research has accumulated similar evidence also for other countries in the north of the northern hemisphere. In a recently published study, I had applied mood-management theory to show that media content may be used to alleviate less cheerfulness due to one's birth climate in the Middle East and in North Africa as well. This article further explores such a benefit of media use with a secondary analysis of a large and representative survey in Germany. The study reveals that people with more winter months soon af ter birth tend to prefer "mainstream" entertainment offerings a little more -even after age, education and gender are controlled for. In addition, age shows significant moderating effects.
