“…Considering the relevance of service, several studies have analyzed speed [3,4] or accuracy [5,6] of the serve from different perspectives. Although speed and accuracy have been shown to be related, few studies have simultaneously analyzed the speed and accuracy of the serve [7,8], or even the relationship between the speed and the accuracy of the serve, taking into account the effect of a physical load on these variables.…”

Background: The importance of the serve in tennis players’ performance is well known but no previous studies have analyzed the effects of both physical and cognitive fatigue on the speed and accuracy of the serve. This study analyzed the effect of a High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) with and without cognitive load on serve speed and accuracy, spirometry, and strength manifestation. Methods: 32 recreational players (25 men and 7 women; aged 21.40 ± 1.52 years) performed a HIIT and a HIIT with a Stroop in recovery phases before performing a series of tennis services. Speed and accuracy of the services, spirometry, and strength manifestations were registered. Results: The main findings of the study showed that strength manifestations and spirometry were not affected by either protocol. A decrease in serve speed was observed in both protocols (p < 0.001) but service accuracy did not show impairments (p = 0.66). Conclusion: A combination of physical and mental fatigue may decrease serve speed but will not affect strength manifestations or spirometry negatively. These results could be caused by a response of the central nervous system to maintain the accuracy of the ball in presence of fatigue.

“…Throughout a tennis game, peripheral fatigue caused by unilateral and repeated tennis movements can cause disturbances in the player’s performance [ 16 , 26 , 44 ]. During competitive situations, the number of forehands can vary between 4 and 10, according to the duration of the point, and after the serve, is the most relevant action, in which the shoulder’s internal rotation is also important.…”

“…Joint stabilization is affected by different factors (e.g., neuromuscular fatigue [ 14 ]) and it evidences a decrease in muscle strength or power capacity when it is not perfect [ 8 ], meaning that increased shoulder stability allows the sustenance of power production throughout the game [ 15 ]. Therefore, the lack of power and/or accuracy in the upper limb actions, due to peripheral fatigue (which might lead to a performance decrease [ 16 ]), is a relevant tennis research topic. In fact, some tennis-related studies have focused on performance decreases (connected with the serve, groundstroke accuracy, and velocity) and electromyographic changes associated with fatigue [ 17 , 18 , 19 ].…”

Tennis is an asymmetric sport characterized by a systematic repetition of specific movements that may cause disturbances in muscular strength, power, and torque. Thus, we assessed (i) the torque, power, ratio production, and bilateral asymmetries in the shoulder’s external and internal rotations at 90 and 180°/s angular velocities, and (ii) the point duration influence of the above-mentioned variables. Twenty competitive tennis players performed external and internal shoulder rotations; an isokinetic evaluation was conducted of the dominant and non-dominant upper limbs before and after five and ten forehands. A higher torque production in the shoulder’s internal rotations at 90 and 180°/s was observed for the dominant vs. non-dominant sides (e.g., 63.1 ± 15.6 vs. 45.9 ± 9.8% and 62.5 ± 17.3 vs. 44.0 ± 12.6% of peak torque/body mass, p < 0.05). The peak torque decreased only after ten forehands (38.3 ± 15.8 vs. 38.2 ± 15.8 and 39.3 ± 16.1 vs. 38.1 ± 15.6 Nm, respectively, p < 0.05), but without impacting speed or accuracy. Unilateral systematic actions of tennis players caused contralateral asymmetries, evidencing the importance of implementing compensatory training. The forehand kinematic assessment suggests that racket and wrist amplitude, as well as speed, are important success determinants in tennis.

“…Literature [15] used the adaptive Gaussian mixture model to analyze the classification of tennis game scenes, through which the model can effectively realize the classification of tennis scenes and provide a certain data basis for the development of a tennis technical movement training strategy. Literature [16] analyzed forearm fatigue for tennis technical movement training by experts and non-experts for the factors affecting the level of tennis skills, and the batting speed of the expert group was faster than that of the non-expert group.…”

This paper first explains the tennis technical action representation and matching technology, using the Euler angle method to represent the coordinates of the tennis action gesture, realizing the deconstruction of the action gesture through the gesture-solving algorithm, and then using the weighted Euclidean distance to match the tennis gesture to the action. Secondly, we constructed the tennis technical movement training strategy for colleges and universities based on the task-driven teaching method, and gave the teaching experiment method to analyze the effectiveness of the strategy. Finally, the data was analyzed by examining the muscle characteristics of tennis technical movements and the teaching effect of task-driven teaching. The results showed that the maximal EMG integral value of the muscles was 32.91uV.s in the level 1 group and 87.91uV.s in the level 2 group, and the maximal angular velocity of the ankle-knee-hip joints was 645.23±189.42°/s and the minimum angular velocity of the hip joints was 461.87±115.08°/s in all the landing modes. 115.08°/s. The task-driven teaching method can effectively improve the students’ tennis learning and technical level and enhance the quality of tennis technical teaching in colleges and universities.
