Relationship Between Tennis Serve Velocity and Select Performance Measures
Open accessAbstract
Hayes, MJ, Spits, DR, Watts, DG, and Kelly, VG. Relationship between tennis serve velocity and select performance measures. J Strength Cond Res 35(1): 190–197, 2021—The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was a relationship between tennis serve speed and isometric midthigh pull (IMTP) kinetic variables: countermovement jump (CMJ) height, shoulder internal and external rotation strength, and anthropometric measures in elite adolescent tennis players. Twenty-one elite junior tennis players from the Tennis Australia National Academy were recruited for this study (male, n = 12 and female, n = 9). Correlations between the performance variables and peak tennis serve speed were calculated using a Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficient. A significant positive correlation was found between peak serve speed and body height ( r = 0.80, p < 0.01), IMTP peak force ( r = 0.87, p < 0.01), CMJ height ( r = 0.77, p ≤ 0.01), and impulse at 300 ms ( r = 0.71, p ≤ 0.01). A significant, strong correlation was found between peak serve speed and impulse at 100 ms ( r = 0.58, p ≤ 0.01), impulse at 200 ms ( r = 0.64, p ≤ 0.01), internal rotation <90° ( r = 0.63, p ≤ 0.01), and external rotation <90° ( r = 0.63, p ≤ 0.01). Because of the significant positive correlations between IMTP variables, CMJ height and peak serve speed, strength and conditioning coaches with access to a force plate should consider using the IMTP to athletically profile athletes in regards to their strength, power, and injury risk.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
