Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed to elucidate the relationship between tennis ball data and point acquisition. From the results, we were able to clearly identify the challenges each player needed to overcome, and we actually implemented training. From the results of this study, it became clear that players with high ‘quality’ of strokes (ball speed and spin rates) have a higher number of winners and a shorter average rally count. We set tasks for college players, implemented service training, and observed an improvement in performance. In conclusion, we utilized the insights gained from these results for instructor training.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の結果から、打球の質とポイント取得の関連が明らかとなった。これらのデータを活用することでトレーニング計画の立案、実践に伴う効果の検証といったエビデンスベーストなコーチングの具体例も示すことができた。技術やゲームパフォーマンスの評価が難しいテニスにおいて、評価指標となるようなデータを提示するとともに、それらのエビデンスを基にした指導を確立することの社会的意義は高く、これらの知見は実践的な価値が高いといえる。
