Summary

30 tennis players aged 12-18, will be included in the study. After their normal warm-up, the participants will make 30 forehand and 30 backhand strokes. Forehand and backhand stroke accuracy rate will be calculated. After a week, additional oculo-motor exercises will be included in the warm-up and the forehand and backhand stroke accuracy rate will be calculated again. The hypothesis that there will be an improvement in forehand and backhand stroke accuracy after oculo-motor exercises will be tested.
