The study investigates the
acute effects of dynamic and static stretching on the tennis serve targeting
performance of amateur tennis players. Twenty male athletes who were between
the ages of 16-24 years and played tennis for at least 1 year (21.40±2.16 years,
181±0.06 cm, 71.85±7.42 kg, tennis playing time 1.55±0.88 years) voluntarily
participated in the study.
Prior to the pre-tests and
after applying the traditional warm-up protocol, serve targeting test (STT) was
applied to all participants. In the post-tests, STT was used after applying three
different warm-up methods on three different days (48-hour rest interval). The
warm-up stages included No Treatment (NT) (jogging, rally), Static Stretching
(SS) and Dynamic Stretching (DS).
In the statistical analysis,
the homogeneity of the data was investigated using the Shapiro Wilk test. The
Wilcoxon test was used to compare the pre-test and post-test results of the
non-homogeneous data; Friedman test was used to compare the three different
stretching methods with each other; in the paired comparisons of the groups,
the paired samples t-test was used for the homogenous data and Wilcoxon test
was used for the non-homogeneous data.
In conclusion, stretching
exercises before serving increased the serve targeting performance and the
increase in the dynamic stretching exercises was higher than that in static
stretching exercises.
