前言:本研究目的在於探討改變軟式網球線表面粗糙度對球線摩擦力、球撞擊球拍後震動響應、球速、轉數之影響。方法:實驗區分為材料及人體測試兩階段,第一階段先使用氧化鋁砂布No150#摩擦球拍甜區,以改變表面粗糙度,再利用白光干涉儀器測試球線表面粗糙度差異,並在球拍裝置Biopac三軸加速規後固定於夾鉗鋏器,球體由100公分處以自由落體落下於拍面甜區,以測得震動響應;第二階段為實際揮拍擊球,受試對象為台北體院軟式網球隊3名優秀選手,分別以未改變及以改變表面粗糙度之球拍,揮擊上旋球、平擊球及下旋球,利用Mega高速攝影機(1000Hz)分析球速及轉速。統計方法因樣本數量較少而採用敘述性統計。結果:未改變與已改變球線表面粗糙度之球線數值分別為3.12 ± 0.37微米、6.81 ± 2.50微米,震動響應減少14.59伏特,上旋球球速減少60%、平擊球減少33%、下旋球減少15%,上旋球轉數增加50%、平擊球增加34%,下旋球增加34%。結論:改變球線表面粗糙度後,會使球線表面粗糙度增加、震動響應減少、球速減低,球轉數增加等現象,因此軟網選手可利用此方法達到運動生物力學優勢。
Purpose: The aim of this study was to exam effects of surface roughness changes of soft tennis string on friction of string, vibration response, ball velocity and number of revolutions. Method: Material and hitting measurements were conducted, respectively. In first measurement, one emery cloth, No150#, was used to rub the sweet spot of the racket for changing its roughness. Friction of tennis string was measured by using a friction tester (ALGOL-HF-100). Vibration response of racket was measured by using a tri-axial accelerometer when the bounce response after a soft tennis ball, fall down from 100 cm height, hits against on the sweet spot of racket. In second measurement, 3 elite players hit top-spin, flat strike and back-spin by using the string with and without roughness changes. Mega high-speed camera at 1000Hz was collected batted ball for analyzing ball velocity and number of revolutions. Result: After surface roughness changes of soft tennis string, the friction of string increased about 0.02 kg, vibration response decreased about 14.59 v, ball velocity decreased (60% for topspin, 33% for flat strike and 15% for backspin), and number of revolutions increased (50% for topspin, 34% for flat strike and 34% for backspin). Conclusion: Increased string roughness resulted in higher friction, lower vibration response, lower ball velocity and higher ball spin. Therefore, soft tennis player could get biomechanical benefit after adopting this method.
