EVALUATION'S CRITERIA DURING PRACTICE OF SERVICE IN TENNIS

The purpose of this study was the practice of service in tennis into 6 teaching units (3*2 hours) and application of evaluation's criteria in this motor skill. The sample consisted of 101 novices' students of physical education, aged 19-20 years old (59 male and 42 female). After the end of practice an assessment of these criteria were done in this motor skill. Although, five criteria was proposed initially, after statistical analysis (correlation, factorial analysis) four criteria were accepted: "timing", "ball throw", "racket swing", and "body movement". Furthermore, the present study proposes norms to these criteria to evaluate service during practice in novice players.
