In this study, we sought to develop a testing system to scientifically identify tennis talent. This testing system will provide helpful information for players who intend to pursue a professional tennis career. The experimental subjects were 18 college students consisting of 10 tennis players (including 4 soft tennis) and 8 basketball players (all males). The subjects were tested on their vertical jump, 60 m shuttle runs, and shoulder joint mobility to identify tennis talent. To statistically analyze the data, an R package was used to conduct a principal component analysis of the athletic performance indicators of the samples, and the samples were further classified via agglomerative hierarchical clustering. This study found that tennis players required more flexibility than basketball players. Regarding the differences between male and female soft tennis players, the unclassified results showed that there was a significant difference in explosive power. However, there was no significant difference in flexibility between genders. The research methods and results of this study can be used as a reference for others to build a system for identifying athletic performance characteristics in the future, and it is expected that the implementation of this system can provide sports coaches with more information for talent selection and improve the accuracy of their judgments, allowing athletes to play to their strengths.
在这项研究中，我们试图开发一种测试系统，以科学地识别网球人才。该测试系统将为有意从事职业网球生涯的球员提供有益的信息。实验对象为 18 名大学生，包括 10 名网球运动员（包括 4 名软式网球运动员）和 8 名篮球运动员（均为男性）。对这些受试者进行了垂直跳跃、60 米折返跑和肩关节灵活性测试，以确定网球人才。为了对数据进行统计分析，使用 R 包对样本的运动表现指标进行主成分分析，然后通过凝聚层次聚类对样本进行进一步分类。本研究发现，网球运动员比篮球运动员需要更高的灵活性。关于男女软式网球运动员的差异，未分类的结果表明，爆发力存在显著差异。然而，在性别之间，灵活性没有显著差异。本研究的研究方法和结果可以为其他人未来建立识别运动表现特征的系统提供参考，预计该系统的实施可以为体育教练提供更多的人才选拔信息，并提高他们判断的准确性，使运动员能够发挥自己的优势。
