The purpose of this study was to analyse the use of skill and tactic in the top four from Men's Doubles of Soft Tennis in Asian Games 2012. The top four from Men's Doubles of Soft Tennis in Asian Games 2012 were observed from match live recording videos. Data were analysed by Chi-square goodness-of-fit test and the level of significance was set at α=.05. This study showed that there were significant differences in serve percentage, serve placement, serve and approach, receive placement, receive and approach, skill, and formation. In the top four from Men's Doubles of Soft Tennis in Asian Games 2012, first serve percentage is about 65% in hard court matches. Players do not approach after service. Service placement is near right-hander's body and backhand position. Receive placement is located on diagonal baseline and players approach after receiving ball. Double net parallel formation is mostly used and volley is main skill. In order to attend international men's doubles games, coaches should focus on this tactic and ask players to receive certain trainings of volley and smash and sharpen the skill of passing shots. Strategies of three-stage hits should be designed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
