Title: Kinematic analysis of the toss in relation to the success of serving in tennis Objectives: The aim of this master's thesis is to conduct a kinematic analysis of the toss, determine the impact the serve will have on the success of the first serve among competitive and recreational female players and compare these data with results of male serves obtained in the bachelor's thesis. Methods: To obtain the results, a method of indirect observation was used, during which video recordings were made of 8 competitive and 2 recreational female players. Each player executed a total of 40 first direct serves, and the partial videos were then analyzed using Dartfish 10 software. We observed the maximum point of the serve and the ball contact, and each serve was categorized as successful, net, out - on the side, or out - long. Data obtained from the video recordings were subsequently processed using effect size analysis (Cohen's d) and statistical significance (ANOVA). Results: Analysis of variance for repeated measures showed a statistically significant difference between individual serve categories on the Y-axis, i.e., maximum toss height, F (3,21) = 7.16, p = 0.002, ηš = 0.013. Post-hoc tests for pairwise comparisons revealed a significant difference in maximum toss height between serving into the net...

Statistical analysis of the influence of body height of ATP players on the success of their game
Nechanický, Michal ; Kočíb, Tomáš (advisor) ; Carboch, Jan (referee)
Title: Statistical analysis of the influence of body height of ATP players on the success of their game Objectives: The aim of my bachelor's thesis is to determine whether a player's body height affects his position in the ATP rankings and whether it affects the effectiveness of his serve. At the same time, I will investigate the possible influence of surfaces on player's serve statistics and his position in the ATP rankings. Methods: The mentioned monitoring was determined on a sample of TOP 200 players of the ATP ranking. Mathematical-statistical analysis of the data was carried out by collecting the data reported on the official ATP website. The results of my investigation were compared with similar characteristics of selected professional literature. Results: Mathematical-statistical analysis showed a loose correlation between a player's body height and his position in the ATP rankings. Furthermore, a stronger correlation was shown between serve statistics and ranking and between serve statistics and player height. This correlation changes with the type of surface, where the most closeness to the player's position in the ATP ranking or his body height is shown by the serve statistics of the player serving on a hard surface. Keywords: Tennis, body height, serve, surfaces, ATP

Perception training in tennis
Mrázová, Kristina ; Carboch, Jan (advisor) ; Malý, Tomáš (referee)
Title: Perception training in tennis Objectives: The main goal of this paper is to assess the impact of perceptual-cognitive training on the development of anticipatory skills in expert and novice tennis players. Methods: The result of this paper was obtained using an experiment based on the test-retest method. It is a randomized controlled trial in which the intervention groups underwent three weeks of perceptual-cognitive training in addition to the test and retest process. All parts of the experiment (test, perceptual training, retest) were based on watching edited video recordings of tennis serves using the temporal occlusion technique. The tracked variable in the experiment was the relative accuracy of responses. Results: In the intervention group of expert tennis players, a significant difference was reported between test and retest performance (p < 0.01; d = 1.05). No statistical significance was observed in the intervention group of tennis novices or in any of the control groups. Since the intervention and control groups of expert tennis players did not differ in the test stage, the observed increase in performance was attributed to the effect of applied perceptual-cognitive training. The statistically significant increase in relative accuracy of responses between test and retest occurred...
