Biomechanical analysis of tennis player’s forehand, backhand, serve, and activities
to improve tennis skills for physical education. Being a P.E. major, I used the software “Darfish,”
which is a great teaching tool to be able to show students their skills and break it
down so they can see where they need improvement. I filmed an NIU club tennis player as my expert,
and then three novice players and then compared them to each other to show them how to improve
and where they are succeeding in each skill. Hopefully at my schools, wherever I end up
teaching, I’ll be able to use DartFish for physical education for skills tests to show
my students, or as a coach to be able to show my athletes how they’re improving in their
skills.
