Varieties such as fashionable sport wear, high, low and mid tops along with shoes custom designed to the foot of the players have come up ("Tennis Shoes History").
The tennis shoe manufacture industry has come a long way as well. There are a large number of companies competing against each other to produce the best quality of shoes for their customers. Some of them include Nike, Lacoste, New Balance Adidas, Puma, Converse, Mizuno, Asics, and Reebok. Some of these have managed to gain a lot of reputation internationally. They cover all kinds of sporting requirements such as those of running, soccer, baseball, rugby and water sports ("Tennis Shoes History").
The shoes which are specifically meant for the sport of tennis are of three major types. They are classified into Hardcourt, Grass and Softcourt based on the terrain being used. Hardcourt tennis shoes need to have patterns such as herringbone and dimples…...

From early on, I have already realized that tennis will be one of the activities that I will always be passionate about.
More than being a sport, playing tennis has connected me to my father. It also plays an instrumental role in bonding us together. I believe this is the intrinsic value of tennis in my life and why it remains an important activity to me. The sheer love for tennis is a shared passion that binds me and my father. Just last year, my father and I shared our love for the sport as we watched tennis at the Beijing Olympics. This shared experience with my father combined with the bond between my father and I, my love for the sport, and the instinctive national pride of watching the Olympics as it was held in China made the event a very touching and lasting experience that I will never…...
The back also is commonly utilized as a source of stabilization and power during a backhand shot. Improper technique can lead to strain in the back as well, usually resulting from an overly arched back, which can result in small tears or strains of the tissues supporting the spine (Walkerbout Health, 2007). Some players, especially those that continuously engage in bad form, are more at risk for chronic injuries, even arthritis when they do not take care of these muscles and work to properly strengthen and train them between playing sessions (Walkerbout Health, 2007).
Among the muscles that are most stable in this shot include the quadriceps muscles in the upper leg. Strengthening and stretching of these muscles is important to prevent knee pain and injury resulting from the rapid motions the player engages in when preparing for and following through with a tennis shot. There are instances where a tennis…...

Tennis is an indoor or outdoor game, played by two players or two pairs of players, using rackets and a light ball, across a rectangular court, which is divided in the middle by a net. It is called singles when there are two players and doubles when there are two pairs. There are white lines in the tennis court, which indicate the dimensions and service areas. The standard tennis court measures 78 feet long and divided into two equal sides. The net at the center measures approximately 3 feet. For doubles, alleys 4.5 feet wide are added along the two longer sides, increasing the total width to 36 feet. Courts may be made of grass, clay, wood, asphalt, concrete or other synthetic material. (USTA 2002) The tennis ball, on the other hand, is 2 1/2 and 2 5/8 inches in diameter and weighs between 2 and 2 1/16 oz. It…...

Considered one of the most popular racquet and ball games in the world, the game of tennis has become one of the more iconic and physically challenging sports in today's society. It is played both competitively and informally by more than 20 million Americans and perhaps twice that many people worldwide (Flink, 1999). It has become a major part of physical education programs at schools and universities and is notably one of the only sports played year round, around the world through organized individual, doubles and team competitions.
The word tennis is derived from the Old French name for the game, tenetz (Flink) and in the late-13th Century a game similar to tennis was played in Paris amongst the social elite and upper classes. The French version of the game has been compared to an Italian version that was also played around that time, even though the French game was referred…...

Three boxes of matches is enough to create one bomb. Empty gun powder containers and especially disassembled but non-detonated commercial firecrackers is another potential indicator of the manufacture of improvised explosive devices because the latter provide a means of securing sufficient quantities of gun powder to create a bomb by persons (i.e. juveniles) who cannot ordinarily purchase gun powder, as well as by individuals intending to avoid creating a record of having purchased gun powder. Likewise, the presence of hobby fuses, particularly without other contextual materials suggesting their legitimate use (i.e. model rocketry materials) are another potential indicator of improvised bomb-making activities. Hot glue guns (also outside of contextually appropriate circumstances) are another potential indicator.
Recognizing and Avoiding Detonating Possible Tennis Ball Bombs

Tennis
The number of movements carried out in any sport is known as technique. This technique is the one that is behind a backhand stroke or a forehand stroke. This technique can go for all strokes, swings and basically all the movements involved in sports. This technique is a result of the different forces, whether they are external or internal, acting on the body of the player (Bahamonde, 1992). In order to achieve well though and strategic shots, both coaches and the players need to have a sound idea of this technique.
Before we get into explaining the whole planning and order of events behind a backhand stroke, it should be cleared out that smart strokes are never copied. It should be known that most of the great shots come out because of the physical qualities of the player and not his or her technique. (Hays, 1993) This statement and great observation…...

There is much controversy with regard to athletic identity and to the role it plays in a person's life. hile most people think about concepts like fair-play and a healthy body when dealing with ideas related to athletic identity, others consider that it can have a negative influence on a person's life because of the lifestyle it imposes on the respective individual. It would certainly be difficult to have an opinion on whether having an athletic identity has a positive or a negative influence on a person. Tennis is typically promoted as a glamorous sport and individuals who excel in this sport are provided with a great deal of privileges. Even with this, it would be difficult to determine the degree to which being a professional tennis player is likely to improve a person's life.

Roger Federer is a tennis player from Basel, Switzerland. He grew up being interested in and excelling at sports, and had started playing both tennis and soccer by the time he was eight years old. Only three years later, he was rated one of the top three junior tennis players in his country. A year after this, he made the decision to focus solely on tennis, and soon became so focused and involved, he was playing up to three tournaments each month. At the same time, he was spent six hours of practice and three hours of conditioning each week. At age fourteen, Federer became the national junior champion of Switzerland, and from there, his luck and winnings grew. He is currently ranked number one on the ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) tour, and had made it to the finals in the most recent U.S. Open ("Roger Federer Biography").

Art of the Artful Game of Tennis
Describe a book, play, composition, poem, scientific discovery, technical achievement, myth, historic event or work of art that has inspired and intrigued you. You can assume we are familiar with the plot and details; instead, tell us what it means for you personally.
It's such a simple game, on its surface, whether that surface is clay, court, or grass. All it takes is a ball, a racket, and a net. And one's opponent. Yet the game of tennis can mean so much more. Tennis can be a life or death struggle to prove a player's sense of worth over another player. It can be an affirmation of all that is good in one's self. A good game of tennis can demonstrate a player's ability to triumph as an individual, against all odds. But the individual in a game like tennis can be filled with meaning,…...

Epicondylitis: A eview of the Literature
Mechanism of Injury/Force Involved
Lateral epicondylitis or "tennis elbow" as is commonly referred to often results from pathological processes that occur within the elbow (Foley 281). This injury is most commonly the result of occupational stresses and not necessarily the result of racket sports, though the force involved in such sports may contribute to injury (Foley 282). Direct force is not necessary for the condition to arise and most cases result from repetitive motion or overuse rather than significant impact at one time or another (Foley 292). Given this knowledge one may assume that preventive measures can be implemented to reduce the frequency of the disease.
Lateral epicondylitis occurs as the "muscle bellies" of the forearm narrow and "merge into the tendons" creating "highly focused stress" at the point where the tendons and bones insert into the bone of the elbow (Nicholas 1). Injury to the…...

Nanomaterials
Advances in Nanomaterials and Their Applications
Nanomaterials, including carbon nanofibers and nanotubes, are being explored extensively for their use and application in multiple manufacturing domains. One of the most eager manufacturing sectors to incorporate nanomaterials into their midst is the athletics gear and sporting industries. Tennis rackets, surf, skate, and snow boards, skis, ski poles, boats, bicycles, hockey sticks, baseball bats, golf clubs and balls are all potentially transformed by the use of nanomaterials. Other athletics applications of nanomaterials include sports stadium materials, artificial turf, running track surfaces, clothing, and gymnasium equipment (Chunyan, 2011). While nanomaterials are proving promising from design, implementation, and development perspectives, there are also significant safety issues that need to be taken into consideration by engineers, manufacturers, and industry regulators.
The root word "nano" comes from the Greek meaning dwarf because the particles are extremely small and require special technologies for visualization as well as manipulation (Hickman, 2002).…...

The term "love" in tennis scoring is believed to have originated from the French word "l'oeuf," which means "the egg." This term was used because a zero score in tennis resembles a small circular egg shape. Over time, "l'oeuf" evolved into "love."
In addition to the French origin of "love" in tennis scoring, there are also theories that suggest it may have come from the Dutch word "lof," meaning praise or honor. Another possibility is that it stems from the English phrase "to play for love," which means playing a game for nothing or without wagering money. Regardless of its exact....
