TL;DR: Examination of skilled and novice tennis performers' ability to use visual information of an opponent's movement pattern to anticipate and respond indicates that experts are able to use movement-pattern information to determine shot selection and to use that information to significantly reduce their response delay times.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the ball travelled forward and to the left during the flight phase of the toss in all but one trial, which implies that the players tossed the ball closer to the body and imparted topspin and sidespin on the ball by changing the racquet vertical and lateral velocities when going from the first to the second serve.

TL;DR: In addition to a decrease in stroking speed, the stroking pattern becomes more compact and the trunk becomes more active with increasing slope and the results suggest that forward lean of the trunk increased as the slope increased.

TL;DR: The greater push time and push angle associated with the PBT suggest that the P BT may be more suitable for endurance athletes who are less explosive in their pushing strokes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify those kinematic characteristics that are most closely related to an athlete's medical classification and measured distance of a put and determine three-dimensional kinematics of the shot and upper body segments at the instant of release and during the forward thrust (delivery) were determined.
