Effects of Tennis Match-induced Fatigue on Serve Performance in College Tennis Team Players

比賽情境下引發的運動疲勞對大專生網球發球表現之影響

Abstract

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese.

The aim of this study was to determine whether fatigue induced by a match-like protocol could impose a negative impact on tennis service accuracy and speed. Participants (N=8) served balls in both rested and after match-like protocol conditions. The result indicated that the match-like protocol did not influence both the service accuracy (.785, p<.05) and speed (-.487, p<.05). It was concluded that the match inducted fatigue may not influence the speed and accuracy of the tennis serve, at least on the male college team players. Further study should be conducted by including more participants with varying tennis playing levels or experiences. Female tennis players should be included in future studies to explore if fatigue affects gender differently.

本文的目的在於探索模擬比賽情境下所引發的運動疲勞是否會對網球運動員的發球準度和速度產生影響。8名高校網球校隊隊員在熱身後，和真實比賽環境后進行了發球測試。結果發現模擬比賽環境下所引發的運動疲勞並未對發球的准(p=.785)和速度(p=-.487)產生影響。未來的相關研究有必要招募不同水平的網球運動員來探索比賽情境下引發的運動疲勞是否會對發球表現造成影響。另外，性別差異也是一個值得關注的研究內容。
