Tennis serve is the most complex stroke in tennis, requiring precise timing of muscle activation and hitting technique. The three main types of serves - "flat," "slice," and "topspin kick". The three main phases of the serve, that include the storage of energy (preparation phase), energy release (acceleration phase) and deceleration (follow-through phase) are analysed through the 8-stage model (Kovacs, Ellenbecker 2011). Each individual stage of the serve is described: positioning, ball toss, loading, rotation, acceleration, contact, deceleration, and completion. Within the loading stage, two main serve techniques are described: the "Foot up" and "Foot back" techniques. The anatomical and kinematic analysis of the tennis serve enables a deeper understanding of the stroke biomechanics involved in the motion within each individual stage. Throughout the study, it is important to highlight the main muscle groups that are active during the service motion. This includes muscles of the lower extremities, core, and shoulder complex that enable generation of power and stability during the stroke. The kinematic analysis assists in identifying key parameters such as speed, rotation, and joint angles that influence the power and precision of the serve. Ultimately, the combination of anatomical and kinematic analysis allows tennis players to improve their technical skills, increase power and accuracy in their strokes, and reduce the risk of injuries. The main aim of this Master's Thesis is to provide an overview and critical review of research addressing the tennis serve technique, with a focus on anatomical analysis and muscle activation of components of the kinematic chain in execution of the stroke.
