About

Tennis is situational sport in which the result of the game is directly influenced by the interaction with the opponent. In fact, athletes have to respond in a short-time period to change the way of playing by fast analyzing speed, rotation and direction of the tennis ball. Therefore, it is extremely complicated to predict exactly what will happen during games and matches. According to literature goof visual skills, players can receive and process information quickly and can optimize the performance with extreme precision and dexterity. For this reason, visuomotor training aims to improve reaction times, but its efficiency during playing tennis has not yet been investigated. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate how this training method could affect the improvement of visuomotor performance in young people between 12 and 18 years old.
