Effect of Learning Program and Computer Technology on Learning Slice Approach Stroke in Tennis

Abstract

This study reports the effect of learning program and computer technology on learning slice approach stroke in tennis. From a cohort of 16 players, 10 players completed the study. Players were chosen randomly and were allocated to one group. The study group then trained over four weeks. After four weeks, study group was re-testing using the same pre-test. Data were analyzed using SPSS. The study group improved their slice approach stroke performance by 34%. The difference between pre and post-tests was in a median of 4.9 whereas in Wilcoxon was of 3.80, it means the difference is significant. Therefore, there is almost chance that the true effect in the slice approach is good. The results of this study suggest that using computer provides huge benefit for players.
