The relationship between distance of overhand ball throw and maximal ball speed of serve in elite junior tennis players

(Die Beziehung zwischen der Wurfhöhe beim Überkopf-Ballwurf und der maximalen Ballgeschwindigkeit beim Aufschlag von Nachwuchsleistungssportlern im Tennis)

The aim of this research was to test the hypothesis that there is a positive correlation between the distance of the overhand ball throw and maximal ball speed of serve of elite junior tennis players for a wide-scale representative sample comprising both sexes (80 boys and 80 girls). A significant, positive correlation was found in both sexes (girls r=0.72; boys=0.78), which is why the application of overhand ball throw training and its use as a performance diagnostic method is suggested in the general preparation of elite junior tennis players.
