- Abstract
Using a kinematic analysis, this study aims to find out the existence of visual signals (pre-cues) in drive strokes made from the back of the court after the ball hits a wall, considering each possible direction (right, centre and left). Five expert paddle tennis players took part in the study. The body areas that could be most useful to the defensive player as informative pre-cues (r=,896 p<,001 y r=,777 p<,001) were those related to the hand height and the position of the left heel, at the beginning and at the end of the movement. These data confirm the existence of three movement patterns according to the chosen direction (maximum hand height and most open left heel angle in relation to the transverse plane of the body when the ball goes to the left half of the court, with the striking player as reference).
