Abstract

The purpose of this research were to study the relationship between Saccadic Eye Movement Speed (SEMS) and Choice Response Time (CRT) of the dominant hand and tennis volleying ability and from two differences style of tennis player. Subjects were taken from 60 advanced tennis players, at least 2 years of competitive experiences, aged between 14-30 years. Each of the 2 groups consisted of 30 tennis players. The first group was represented for a serve-volley style and the other is for baseliner players. The researcher has constructed an instrument to collect the SEMS and CRT data, and used the Dyer test for tennis volleying ability. Scale reliability analysis showed the instrument reliability was 0.78. Pearson co-efficient analysis was used to find out the relation on The mean differences of SEMS and CRT were between two groups were found significantly independent and the mean differences of the volleying abilities between two groups were also found significantly independent. The finding of the research indicated that: There were significantly relation between SEMS and CRT of the dominant hand and the tennis volleying ability at 0.1 level. (r = -0.460). There were significantly differences at 0.5 level on SEMS and CRT between serve-volley style and baseliner style. The mean times of SEMS and CRT were 0.48 millisecond and 0.57 millisecond respectively. There was significantly difference at 0.5 level on tennis volleying ability between serve-volley style and baseliner style. The mean-scores of tennis volleying ability were 42 and 32 respectively.


A conclusion is for a successful tennis player, the one who has a good Saccadic Eye Movement Speed (SEMS) and Choice Response Time they are also has good volleying ability and the serve-volley style tennis player has Saccadic Eye Movement Speed (SEMS)-Choice Response Time (CRT) and volleying ability better than the baseliner


style.
