Difference of the Backhand Swing Skill of Collegiate Male Athletes and Collegiate Female Athletes
Abstract
The purpose of our study is to compare the backhand swing skill of collegiate male athletes and collegiate female athletes. This comparative study uses a sample of 2 athletes, male and female, who were selected to execute the backhand swing skill commonly used by lawn tennis players. The instrument used in the study is a video analysis of the sample's backhand swing skill form. It will be used by the researchers to determine which muscle groups are primary movers and which muscles are not being used by a specific sample. The study aims to help figure out how to improve the skill of backhand swing in collegiate athletes.
