The impact of rapidly acquired information sources through video analyzes has led to changes in the design of the tennis learning process. The introduction of information and communication technologies (ICTs) into the learning process in schools and in sport is becoming more and more frequent, which contributes to obtaining more accurate movement information and receiving precise instructions from the player to the coach.
A study was conducted at the Tennis Academy by Tomaž Volk Tennis Club on the impact of video analysis on improving the tennis technique in young tennis players. We tested the impact of learning, using ICT, through video analysis in two groups. The sample consisted of 12 young tennis players between the ages of 7 and 10 attending a tennis school Tomaž Volk Tennis Academy. The players are beginners and have no prior technical knowledge. We divided players into two groups. All of the participants trained accordingly to the predetermined program for improvement of different tennis technique. One group received feedback through video analysis at the end of the training unit and the other did not. Initial and final condition testing was subsequently evaluated by four coaches and found that there was a difference in the progress of the groups. By examining the parameters, we found that players who received video analyises had better scores in racket movement (PAS and timing), whereas no statistically significant improvement was found in static balance and rhythm.
The purpose of the study was to evaluate whether video analysis is effecting the improved impact techniques of young tennis players and whether within the research it influences predefined parameters.
The findings of the study can be helpful to all tennis coaches, sports educators, and anyone working in sports with both adolescents and adults. The focus is on explaining the positive effects of using ICT and introducing it into the learning process.
The work consists of several sets; the first part introduces the elements of tennis and the descriptions of the basic blows; the second part of the introduction focuses on learning and the use of information and communication technologies for these purposes; As part of the research part of the thesis, we described the methods and forms of work and presented the data obtained from our research.
