Physiological demands and fitness for squash. Maximum oxygen uptake in
junior and senior elite squash players. Cardiorespiratory adjustments in
middle-level tennis players: are long term cardiovascular adjustments
possible? Tennis versus golf: profile of demands and physical performance
in senior players. Regional body composition in professional tennis
players. Part Two: Nutritional aspects of racket sports. Nutrition for
racket sports. Body fluid loss during competitive tennis match-play. Fluid
loss during international standard match-play in squash. Metabolic
responses and performance in tennis after caffeine ingestion. The effect of
carbohydrate ingestion on shot accuracy during a conditioned squash match.
Part Three: Preparation for play in racket sports. Conditioning for tennis:
preventing injury and enhancing performance strength and conditioning for
racket sports. A preliminary investigation into a sports specific fitness
test for table tennis players. The efficacy of training routines as a
preparation for competitive squash. The travelling racket sports player.
Part Four: Psychology of racket sports. From the laboratory to the courts:
Understanding training, anticipation and decision making. Visual search
strategy in "live" on-court situations in tennis: An exploratory study.
Perceptions of the direction of multi-dimensional state anxiety during
performance in elite and non-elite male tennis players. The method of
research on specific movements and anticpation in sport under simulated
conditions in table tennis. Using performance profiles with a regional
junior table tennis squad. Analysis of self-regulation techniques in
critical situations in table tennis. Technical rehearsal and imagery: a
system for enhancing technical skills in table tennis. Type 'A' behaviour
in squash. The psychological skills of Britain's top young squash players.
Stress and arousal in elite youth badminton players: a reversal theory
perspective. Part Five: Medical, biomechanical and technical aspects of
racket sports. Is the inhibition of smashing and serving movements due to
anatomical variations? The importance of the speed of ball flight for the
performance of junior tennis players. Knowledge based system for the
simulation of decision making of the serve-return phase in tennis: the LIFT
system. A qualitative 3D analysis of the forehand strokes in table tennis.
An experimental investigation into the influence of the speed and spin by
balls of different diameters and weights. Part Six: Notational analysis of
racket sports. The application of notational analysis to racket sports.
Analysing championship squash match-play as a dynamical system. Using
computerised notational analysis to create a template for elite squash and
its subsequent use in designing hand notation systems for player
development. A preliminary investigation into the provision of computerised
anaysis feedback to elite squash players. A notational analysis of time
factors of elite mens' and ladies' singles tennis on clay and grass
surfaces. A match analysis of elite tennis strategy for ladies' singles on
clay and grass surfaces. Movement analysis of elite level male "serve and
volley" tennis players. A comparison of patterns of play between the top
under 18 junior tennis players in Britain and those in the rest of the
