This study examines the effect of participation in regular tennis exercise on sportsmanship in secondary school students. The research was carried out with an experimental method and sequential ...design. The study sample, 46 volunteer students, was divided into two groups as experimental and control groups. The “Personal Information Form” and the “Physical Education Lesson Sportsmanship Behavior Scale” were applied to the students in both groups as a pre-test in the first week and as a post-test after 12 weeks. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 17.0 program was used for data analysis. As a result of the normality tests (Skewness and Kurtosis), it was determined that the data showed normal distribution, so the Independent Sample T-Test and Paired Samples T-Test were applied. The significance level was accepted as p lt;0.05. According to the findings of the study, while there was a statistically significant difference between the pre-test (90.82 ± 14) and post-test (97.52 ± 10) of the experimental group's sportsmanship level, no statistically significant difference between the pre-test (85.73 ± 12) and post-test (83.52 ± 14) of the control group's sportsmanship levels between. Consequently, this study reveals that participation in 12 weeks of regular tennis exercise significantly increases the sportsmanship level of secondary school students.
The present research was based on the theories that explore resilience in the field of Sport Psychology. The objective was to analyze the manifestation of psychological resilience in Cuban ...high-performance athletes, specifically in the former 800-meter runner Ana Fidelia Quiroz Moret and in athletes of the Cuban national Table Tennis team in the Juvenile and Senior categories. Research methods were used with a predominance of analytical qualitative methodology such as individual and group case studies, analysis-synthesis, interview, analysis of documents and videos, observation, the Stress Coping questionnaire of Sandin and Chorot and the Resilience scale of Wagnild and Young. The percentage was used as a mathematical method. The main results showed the presence of a high level of resilience in the ex-sportswoman studied and medium-high and high levels in the tennis players studied. The main conclusions highlighted the need to assess in the high performance athletes studied, the manifestations of psychological resilience in particular: the protective factors of the personality, the influence of social support networks as well as the strategies and styles of coping with stress that emerge in adverse situations that arise in sports life, difficulties of training and competition that they face regularly, which may constitute models to be taken into account for other athletes who are starting out.
One of the main factors that influence sports activity, both for its realization or execution as its continuity is the so-called motivational factor. The different objectives and goals that young ...tennis players have, are analyzed in this study with athletes that embrace the ages and categories from benjamin to cadets and junior. Knowing how to play well, improve a lot in this discipline along with having fun are part of the goals and goals of tennis players from ages early

This study uses an experimental method with a ...2x2 factorial design, the study was conducted at UPI Sumedang Table Tennis UKM with a sample of 12 people and a sample placement to groups conducted by Random Assigment technique. The results of the study based on the two-way analysis of ANNOVA show the influence of learning media on the accuracy of forehand top spinning table tennis. Related interactions between instructional media with coordinating level on the accuracy of forehand top spinning table tennis are related to autorobot and spongewheel learning media for precision forehand spin over table tennis in the discussion group it was high and there was no difference between the autorobot and spongewheel learning media towards the accuracy of the forehand top spin table tennis in the low coordi- nation group. In conclusion, autorobot learning media is better used in groups with high coordination compared to spongewheel learning media, whereas in groups with low coordination learning media is useful to improve the accuracy of forehand top spin table tennis.
Los objetivos del presente estudio fueron: i) describir la carrera dual de tenistas de la Comunidad de Madrid; ii) analizar si existen diferencias en dicha carrera en función del género, y iii) del ...nivel de competición. Se elaboró un cuestionario ad-hoc teniendo como referencia el cues-tionario de percepción de los estudiantes universitarios-deportistas de alto nivel sobre la carrera dual, ESTPORT (Sánchez-Pato et al., 2016). La muestra estuvo formada por 60 tenistas (21.5± 2.8 años) residentes en la Comunidad de Madrid. De ellos, 55% eran hombres y un 45% eran mujeres. Entrenaban una media de 3.9 ± 1.3 días y 17.2 ± 6.2 horas a la semana. Los resultados confirman que superan cada curso académico en dos años aproximadamente, una falta de planificación de su futuro fuera de la carrera deportiva y una elevada identificación con el rol de deportista. Ellas tienen menos aspiraciones en su carrera tenística, quizás por el hecho que el circuito profesional de tenis femenino sea más modesto económicamente. En esa misma línea, al finalizar su carrera tenística las mujeres piensan dedicarse a trabajar en lo que estudien en ma-yor medida que los hombres. Los jugadores de nivel internacional tienen un alto compromiso con su carrera deportiva. Sus mayores dificultades para su carrera dual no son en relación a la falta de flexibilidad horaria para desarrollar ambas carreras. Se plantean recomendaciones prácticas para los profesionales que trabajen con estos deportistas.

The aims of this study were: i) to describe the dual career in tennis players from the Madrid Region; ii) to analyze if there are differences regarding gender, and iii) competition level. An ad-hoc questionnaire
was developed taking as reference the perception questionnaire of high-level university students-athletes about the dual career, ESTPORT (Sánchez-Pato et al., 2016). The sample was comprised by 60 tennis players (21.5 ± 2.8 years) residents in the Madrid Region. Fifty-five percent were men while forty-five percent were women. They trained an average of 3.9 ± 1.3 days and 17.2 ± 6.2 hours per week. Results confirm that each school year takes them about two years for passing it, a lack of planning a future out of the sport career and a high identification as athletes. Regarding gender comparison, women has less expectations on their sport career. This perception could be due the lower prize money in the women’s circuit. Women planned to work in relation to the studies the aim to finish. Regarding the competitive level, international level tennis players have a high commitment with the sport career. The main difficulties are not financial; they are the lack of flexibility at timetables to develop both careers. Practical insights for practitioners that work with tennis players are proposed.
The aim of the current study was to assess the effect of plyometric training (upper and lower body exercises) in explosive actions in young tennis players. Twenty-one young tennis players (11 males, ...10 females, age 14.33 ± 1.77 years old) participated in the present study and were divided, in a non-randomized manner, into a control group which continued with a
regular physical training and in a experimental group, which performed a biweekly plyometric training instead of the habitual fitness training during an 8-week period. Performance variables were assessed through several assessments; a 20-m sprint test (split 5m, 10m and 15m), a 5 + 5 m sprint with a 180º change of direction test, a bilateral (CMJ) and unilateral
countermouvement jump test, a maximum distance medicine ball throw test (BM), a speed serve test and a bilateral (SH) and unilateral (SHU) standing broad jump test. Performance’s effect was calculated based on the effect size. All performance variables were improved in both group compared to the pre-test. Furthermore, substantial greater enhancements
were obtained in SH, SHU, CMJ and BM in the experimental group in comparison to the control group. Therefore, the plyometric training program might be considered as an effective stimulus to improve explosive actions in young tennis players.
El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar el efecto de un entrenamiento pliométrico (ejercicios en extremidades superiores e inferiores) en acciones físicas explosivas específicas en jóvenes tenistas. Veintiún jóvenes tenistas (11 chicos, 10
chicas; media de edad 14.33 ± 1.77 años) participaron en el presente estudio y fueron divididos de forma no aleatoria en grupo control, el cual continuó con su entrenamiento habitual de preparación física y en experimental, al que se le sustituyó su entrenamiento de preparación física habitual por un programa de entrenamiento pliométrico dos veces por semana durante un período de 8 semanas. Las variables de rendimiento fueron analizadas a través de diferentes valoraciones: un sprint de 20 metros (tiempos parciales 5m, 10m y 15m), un sprint de 5 + 5 metros con un cambio de dirección de 180º, un test de salto con contramovimiento bilateral (CMJ) y unilateral, un test de lanzamiento de balón medicinal a la
máxima distancia (BM), un test de velocidad de servicio y un test de salto horizontal bilateral (SH) y unilateral (SHU). El efecto producido por el entrenamiento fue calculado en base al tamaño del efecto. Todas las variables de rendimiento fueron mejoradas en ambos grupos en comparación con los valores del pre-test. Además, el grupo experimental obtuvo mejoras
sustanciales con respecto al grupo control en el SH, SHU, CMJ Y BM. Por lo tanto, el programa de entrenamiento pliométrico podría considerarse como un estímulo efectivo en la mejora de las acciones explosivas en jóvenes tenistas.
The aim of the study was to show the differences in
the game statistics related to the service in professional
and junior category in three surfaces and to determine
statistical differences during ...the game regarding both
categories. A total of 269 individual Grand Slam tennis
matches (Australian Open, Wimbledon and Roland
Garros) were selected on three different surfaces (hard
court, grass and clay). The data was collected from
the official websites of the tournaments. A total of
10 variables were analyzed in professional category
and 7 in junior. Absolute players obtained higher
values (p <0.05) of aces, aces per set, percentage of
1st Services and points won with 1st and 2nd Service
and committed fewer double faults per set than
juniors in all surfaces. It is concluded that the increase
in performance in the variables related to the service
plays a decisive role in order to achieve a professional
status.
El objetivo del estudio fue conocer las diferencias en las estadísticas de juego relacionadas con el servicio en función de la categoría y la superficie de juego. Se seleccionaron un total de 269 partidos de tenis individuales de Grand Slam (Open de Australia, Wimbledon y Roland Garros) en tres superficies distintas (pista dura, hierba y tierra batida). Los datos fueron recogidos de las páginas webs oficiales de los torneos. Se analizaron todas las variables existentes relacionadas con las estadísticas del servicio. Los resultados indican que los jugadores absolutos obtienen valores más altos en aces, aces por set, porcentaje de primeros servicios y puntos ganados tanto en el primer como en el segundo servicio, mostrando además, menores valores de dobles faltas por set, aspecto que ocurre en todas las superficies. Se concluye que el incremento del rendimiento en las variables
relacionadas con el servicio juega un papel decisivo a la hora de alcanzar el profesionalismo.
El objetivo de este estudio es obtener información detallada sobre el tenis de campo brasileño. La investigación se caracteriza como descriptiva mediante el sitio de la Confederación Brasileña de ...Tenis (CBT), en 2013, en las categorías de 12, 14, 16 y 18 años de edad de ambos sexos. Se seleccionaron las primeras 200 colocaciones en la categoría masculina y todas las deportistas femeninas de cada grupo de edad, que oscila entre los 111 y 162 deportistas, para un total de 1.341 datos catalogados. Se comprobó que el tenis de campo se practica básicamente en los espacios deportivos institucionalizados, especialmente en los clubes. En conclusión, el estudio muestra que el tenis de campo en Brasil acaba reproduciendo la lógica del campo deportivo general en lo que respecta a la distribución por sexo. También hay una proximidad entre las esferas económicas y deportivas, pues los deportistas que están concentrados en el Sudeste y el Sur del Brasil son más propensos a desarrollarse en el deporte.
