“…This reflects difficulty players have of Table 3 achieving an ace on the slower surface, which coincides with the results of previous studies (Filipčič, Filipčič, & Berendijaš, 2008). The percentage of first serves is similar across all the surfaces (≈ 63%), which is consistent with other studies with similar characteristics (Cui, et al, 2018;Hizan, Whipp, & Reid, 2011;Reid, Morgan, & Whiteside, 2016;Torres-Luque, Blanca-Torres, Cabello-Manrique, & Fernández-García, 2019). However, regarding the percentage of points won on the first serve, the highest values were recorded at Wimbledon, while the lowest were at Roland Garros, with statistically significant differences between them (p<.05).…”

Grand Slam tennis tournaments are played on different surfaces. The aims of the present study were to analyse the technical differences in the Grand Slam tournaments (Australian Open or AO, Roland Garros or RG, Wimbledon or W, and the United States Open or US), as well as to establish differences between winning and losing players. A total of 580 sets in 248 matches played in Grand Slams between 2017 and 2018 were analysed. To observe differences between the tournaments, a one-way analysis of variance (Kruskal Wallis) with the Bonferroni post-hoc test was performed. Univariate (Wilcoxon test) analysis of data was carried out to show the differences between the winning and losing performances of sets. Players who had more aces, points won on the 1st serve, winning shots and net points won more matches in the AO, W and US than in the RG (p<.05). However, in RG, players won more receiving points (43.56% of the points played) with chances to break the opponents’ service game. The results also showed that the winning players were superior in both service and receiving, and the most influential variables on the outcome of the match were percentage of receiving points won, break points won, and percentage of points won on the first serve. Such knowledge may have implications in the design of appropriate game strategies and specific training sessions to improve performance in professional women’s tennis.

Background: The identification of gender differences in kinematics and coordination of movement in different body segments in sports may improve the training process by emphasizing the necessity of its differentiation, and consequently individualization, developing, and improving the technique in women and men. Indicating differences can also help in determining the risk of injury in order to prevent from them by diversifying training programs. However, there is no information regarding this problem in the existing literature pertaining to table tennis. Therefore, the aim of the study was to evaluate the differences in the values of selected angular and kinematic parameters during topspin forehand and topspin backhand shots between male and female table tennis players. Methods: Six male and six female advanced table tennis players performed topspin forehand and topspin backhand shots, both receiving a backspin ball. The angular parameters in four events (ready position, backswing, maximum acceleration, and forward) at chosen joints as well as the maximal acceleration of the playing hand were measured, using the myoMotion system, and were compared between male and female players. Results: Significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) were found in the magnitude of angular parameters and maximum hand acceleration between men and women. The movement pattern of topspin strokes performed by men takes into account, more than that in the case of women, movements that use large muscle groups and large joints (hip joints, trunk joints, shoulder joints in extension, and flexion). The difference in the values of maximal acceleration reached almost 50 m/s2 in topspin forehand (p < 0.01) and 20 m/s2 in backhand (p < 0.01). Conclusions: Differentiation of movement patterns can be a manifestation of movement optimization due to anthropological differences and limitations. The differences in the values of maximal acceleration suggest that women could use both sides to perform a topspin attack against the backspin ball, while men should seek opportunities to make a stronger shot with a forehand topspin.

“…(b) Men have a higher first serve scoring rate in any area on both sides compared to women, except the T-zone. (c) Men won a higher percentage of points when they placed their second serve in the T-zone [6]. Although these theories have explored physical education and talent training in colleges and universities to a limited degree, the integration of the latter is less practical.…”

The competition in the new era is fundamentally the competition of talents and the competition of national independent innovation ability. Only through education, we can better cultivate talents and better improve the quality and level of talents. College sports emphasize that track and field are the foundation of various sports and regard track and field as the key teaching materials. There is no specific grade requirement, and each school compiles its own teaching schedule. While cultivating high-quality talents, we strengthen physical education and achieve all-round development. The purpose of this study is to study the characteristic mode of sports health learning at a fresh age, explore new sports teaching modes, promote the development of college sports, and cultivate students’ lifelong sports skills and lifelong sports awareness. This study takes college physical education teachers and students as the objects of investigation and interviews and carries out research work through field inspections of colleges and universities. Through the analysis of the current situation, this study describes and analyzes the mainstream phenomenon of physical education concept expression and reflects on the existing problems on this basis. The experimental data in this study shows that 19 girls and 8 boys think that the load intensity is higher, indicating that girls have a larger training load; 82 people participate in swimming, accounting for 93% of the total number, indicating that traditional courses have advantages.
