Drills forehand training strategy on the stroke of forehand drive ability in tennis

Abstract

This article describes the effect of training strategy on forehand drills and arm strength on the ability of a forehand drive stroke on tennis. Operationally, the purpose of this research is to know the interaction between forehand drills training strategy and arm strength to the ability of forehand drive on the playing of tennis by observing reality of tennis training pattern of students in Department of Physical Health and Recreational Education, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Halu Oleo University who programmed a Tennis course in 2018th even semester. Overall this article attempts to describe its analysis by looking at four main factors that control the path of an object that is being struck through the theories stated by Pate, Bruce McClenaghan, & Robert Rotella (1993), as follows: (1) the speed of hitting the object, (2) the angle at which the power of the object, (3) the force of gravity affecting the object that is being hit, and (4) the effect of aerodynamic power. The technique of analysis that is used in this article is by observing the strength factor of basic ability of physical condition. In which, the power component is also one of the biomotoric components that have contributions in improving the components of the overall physical condition.
