Editorial (volume 2, issue 1)
Journal Title: International Journal of Racket Sports Science - Year 2020, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
It is a privilege to be given the opportunity to introduce the first issue of Volume 2. A second volume of the Journal necessarily implies some success, as it represents a continuation of academic endeavour associated with racket sports. It is therefore also an opportunity to reflect on the progress of the Journal so far.

Axis Specific Player Load to Quantify Lower Limb Biomechanical Loading in Adolescent Badminton Players
While the use of accelerometer derived Player Load has become increasingly prominent, the limitation of this approach is that training load is reduced to a single number with no differentiation between the mechanisms of...
Scoring bias caused by services in table tennis: a statistical analysis
In table tennis, servers have the potential advantage of scoring bias when serving. However, the length of the scoring bias, i.e. the shot number where any bias is eliminated, has not been clarified. This study aimed to...
Comparison of hip joint mechanical energetics in table tennis forehand and backhand drives: a preliminary study
Hip joints are highly involved in table tennis. Some authors found both pelvic angular velocity and hip joint torques are related to the racket velocity. Others have also demonstrated how some of the best players have hi...
Is the level of eye-hand coordination and executive functioning related to performance in para table tennis players? – An explorative study
The goal of this explorative study was to explore whether eye-hand coordination and executive functions (i.e. cognitive flexibility, attention control and information processing) are related to the performance level in p...
Placement of inertial measurement units in Racket Sports: Perceptions of coaches for IMU use during training and competition
While inertial measurement units (IMU) have become an integral part of sports performance analysis, upper body-mounted IMUs have been found to exhibit poor reliability in measuring lower-limb loading. In racket sports, I...
