Abstract

The purpose was to study Biomechanical comparison of two different variations of backhand drive in Tennis. Five male tennis players were selectedfrom the players studying in LNIPE Gwalior for the study. Their sldlls were captured using Nikon D-3100, a motor driven camera, with thefrequency of 24 frames per second. 8 reflective markers attached to anatomic landmarks for two-handed backhand drive data collection. The data was analyzed by paired sample t-test ascertains the comparison of the selected Idnematic variables at moment of contact down the line and cross court backhand drive in Tennis. In case of selected Idnematic variables, none of the angular and linear Idnematic variables has exhibited significant difference between the technique of down the line and cross court of backhand drive.
