|
What is force production?
Rotates to be standing sideways, abduction of the arm holding the racket.
|
What is Newton's third law?
The law that acts on the tennis ball as it hits the racket and bounces off towards the other side of the court.

|
What is the role of the anaerobic alactic system in a forehand swing?
The energy system that creates a quick surge of power with 1-2 chemical reactions for synthesis that enables the athlete to preform a forehand swing.
|
What is force production?
Adduction of the arm with the racket, swinging the arm forward with speed, rotation of the upper torso forward.
|
What is Newton's second law?
The law that allows the tennis ball's speed to increase (acceleration) after being hit with a forehand swing.

Flexion and extension occur in these joints.
|

The energy system that lasts 10-15 seconds.
|
What is the critical instant?
Racket hits ball, back foot lifts and pivots body (front foot stays planted).
|
What is Newton's first law?
The law that acts on the tennis racket when an athlete moves from the ready position to the force production position.
|
What are are fruits, vegetables, pasta, and cereal?
Foods to eat during a tennis competition.
|
|
What is a repetitive strain injury?
This is a common type of joint injury from a forehand swing.
|
What is the largest limitation of the anaerobic alactic system?
The ATP-PC system produces energy and runs out of ATP and PC extremely fast.
|
What is the follow through?
