COMPARISON OF THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FOREHANDKICK (STRAIGHT AND ACCOMPANIED BY FORWARD ROTATION) IN TERMS OF ACCURACY AND SPEED AMONG THE PLAYERS OF THE NATIONAL TEAM (ADVANCED CATEGORY) IN TENNIS

Abstract

The purpose of this paper isto identifying the comparison of the performance of the forehand (straight and accompanied by forward rotation) in terms of accuracy and speed among the players of the national team (advanced category) in tennis. The researchers used the descriptive approach for its suitability and the nature of the research , the researchers chose the research sample from the men's national team for the advanced category, which numbered 4 players, who were chosen by the Iraqi Tennis Federation for the year (2017-2018) as being the best the sample was chosen in an intentional way for the purpose of serving the objectives of the research, where the sample represents the part that represents the original community, which will be the percentage of the selected sample (100%). One of the most important results reached by the researcher is that: It appeared to us that the speed of the forehand (straight) groundstroke exceeded the velocity of the forehand groundstroke (accompanied by forward rotation), and it appeared to us that the accuracy of the frontal (straight) groundstroke was superior to the accuracy of the frontal groundstroke (accompanied by the forward rotation).One of the most important recommendations recommended by the researchers is that : The coaches pay attention to training the forehand kick (straight) as it is the most accurate and fastest for advanced players, and conducting similar research and studies in the skill of the forehand strike for young age groups to identify these mistakes at an early stage.
