Description

This study aimed to compare balance performance, agility, eye-hand coordination between amateur tennis players and individuals doing recreational sports. 10 male tennis players of an amateur tennis club, with at least 3 years of tennis history and actively playing tennis, with a mean age of 18.40±0.50 years, a mean height of 175.30±3.56 cm, a mean body weight of 70.00±3.57 kg, and a mean body fat ratio of 22.10±1.25%, and 10 male university students with a mean age of 18.80±0.63 years, a mean height of 163.0±33.8 cm, a mean body weight of 69.8±2.62 kg, and a mean body fat ratio of 22.60±1.17%, who participated in weekly different physical activities for recreational purposes, were included in the study voluntarily. In the study, Y Balance test, Hexagonal test, Eye-hand coordination test were applied. In the analysis, the differences between the normally distributed variables were analyzed using the independent sample t-test. Differences between non-normally distributed variables were analyzed with the Mann-Whitney U test. Statistical significance level was accepted as p<0.05. The effect sizes of the differences were calculated according to Cohen's d. According to the results obtained, it was determined that there was no significant difference between the balance values between the groups (p>0.05) and that there was a significant difference in agility and eye-hand coordination reaction time between the groups (p<0.05). Among the factors affecting the sportive performance of amateur tennis players, it is seen that agility and eye-hand coordination values are effective compared to the recreational group, while balance is not effective. In order to create a general profile, amateur tennis players should be compared with more performance tests.
