Research oi the core techniques of the volley in tennis by literature search

Abstract

 The purpose of this study is to make a part or basic materials on the volley technical guidance by extracting the core techniques of the volley in tennis by arranging the contents of the guidance books published in Japan, and comparing it with experiences of the author’s volley technical guidance.

 Putting the racket ahead in front of both shoulders and making a “Wall” were extracted as a core technique. Among them is included to fix the wrist, and to put a hitting point ahead. It seems that steppinmg forward and trunk-turning are not core techniques because those movements are exercised only when there is time. However, those movements seem to have close relationships to the core technique because they are used for most volleys.

 The core technique obtained from this research might wipe out a sence of weakness as to the volley, and become an index for the acquisition of the volley.
