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