The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of two types of videotape instructions on the resequencing performance of female tennis players at the novice, low, medium, and elite skill levels. Resequencing performance on the tennis serve and forehand drive was examined. Three different treatment conditions were administered: a control group was required to simply resequence the twelve still photographs of the tennis serve, another group were presented a videotape replay of the tennis serve played at regular speed, then three times in slow motion and then a final showing at regular speed, and a third group viewed a videotape replay augmented by skill cues. A posttest was administered. Similar procedures were carried out for the forehand drive. The results indicated that the resequencing performance was related to expertise in tennis. The slow motion and slow motion replay with augmented information treatments improved the resequencing performance of all the players on the tennis serve but not on the forehand drive.

The current study investigated whether combining a ten-week imagery training and video modeling intervention would improve the consistency and form of tennis serves, and to determine if differences in intervention effectiveness were based on skill level of the players. Sixty-one high school tennis players (Mage = 15.44, SD = .98) were separated into four groups; a control group and an experimental group which received the mental training program. Univariate analyses of covariance controlling for possible pre-test differences, gender, and years of tennis experience and a chi-squared analysis for responders to treatment showed no significant differences for the experimental group. Thus, the ten-week imagery training and video modeling intervention used in this study appeared to not influence tennis service form and consistency. There is a need for longitudinal studies of mental training techniques to determine whether these practices are effective for athletes of different sports and competitive levels.

Title: Optimization of tennis club marketing communication depending on the Covid-19 pandemic Objectives: The main objective of this thesis is to make an optimized proposal of marketing communication which can help to Tenis Centrum Dobříš handle their communication with customers during the pandemic rules and during the time with no limitations. Methods: Qualitative research and analyzes of secondary data were used to achieve the main objective of this thesis. Focus group with owners of the club and a few coaches was used as qualitative research. Based on the obtained data, the current state of marketing communications was evaluated, and which led to the creation of optimized communication. Results: The analysis revealed that the Tenis Centrum Dobříš does not use the potential of individual communication tools independently of the Covid-19 pandemic. Optimalization of the communication tools was design for the club especially for online communication tools. It can be used in times of pandemic restrictions but also in times when the club can operate without any restrictions. Keywords: Marketing, communication, tennis, Covid-19

Neuromuscular and kinematic patterns during the tennis forehand have been studied extensively. However, no one has evaluated potential upper-extremity kinematic changes during the forehand as ball speed increases. The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in shoulder and trunk kinematics as forehand ball speed increased, in an attempt to better understand how kinematics may promote forehand ball speed. Peak trunk rotation angle, shoulder horizontal abduction/adduction and internal/external rotation angle, and corresponding angular velocities were measured between initial backswing and ball contact during forehands that were performed at three different speeds (50%, 75%, and 100% of maximal post-impact ball speed). Between-speed differences were observed for all dependent variables. Internal humeral rotation velocity increased by 136% (from 477°/s to 1128°/s) while trunk rotation velocity increased by 91% (from 164°/s to 313°/s) and trunk rotation angle increased by only 26% (from 46° to 58°) as forehand ball speed increased from slow to fast. Two primary conclusions can be drawn from these results: (1) trunk and upper arm rotation (adduction and internal rotation) are important to produce forehand ball speed, and (2), increased joint angular velocity may be more important than altered joint position when attempting to produce maximal forehand ball speed.
