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.

Title: Evaluation of selected aids used in tennis training for children of early school age Objectives: The main goal of this thesis is to assess the efficiency of gathered tennis aids used in tennis training for children of early school age (6-11 years). Methods: The selected methods for achieving the established goals are research of available literature and sources and their consequent analysis and synthesis. Results: A well-arranged description, classification and efficiency evaluation of tennis aids were created in this thesis based on the examination of available sources related to tennis A process of putting aids into the training plan according to the relevant principles was introduced. The result of this work is a classification of the selected tennis aids to aids for beginners, intermediate and advanced users based on their usage. The main criteria for putting the aids into training are age and sport level. It mostly depends on the experience of the trainer to put the aids in the training unit according to the sport training rules appropriately. Methods created based on the research of available literature are justified and analyzed in detail in the analytic- descriptive part of this work and its conclusion.
