Comparing Heart Rate Total Distance and Perceived Difficulty Grades in Hit Turn Tennis Test and Modified Hit Turn Tennis Test Introduction and Aim: The hit-turn tennis test and the modified hit-turn tennis test have compared heart rate, total distance and perceived difficulty ratings. Materials and Methods: The age of 30 male athletes included in the study were 13,07 ± 1,65 years, height length 1,60 ± 0,14 cm, body weights 46,88 ± 10,14 kg, training ages 6,56 ± 1, 71 years and 5.7 ± 0.4 hours per week. The ages of 12 girls participating in the study were 13,07 ± 1,65 years, height length 1,60 ± 0,16 cm, body weights 52,32 ± 14,12 kg, training ages 6,90 ± 1,40 years and weekly 5.7 ± 0.4 hours of training. Each athlete has performed both the hit-turn tennis test against the stationary set as well as the original, and also by modifying this test against the opposing crowd. When both tests were performed, the total distance of both male and female athletes, distance of heart rate, and difficulty ratings they perceived were recorded. A nonparametric linear Wilcoxon test was applied to find the difference between the two tests. Results: During the tests, the athletes had more than 160 m in the Hit-Turn tennis test and 104 m in the boys compared to the Modifiye Hit-Turn test. This difference was statistically significant in males (z: -2,071; p <0.005) and females (z: -2,648; p <0.005). In addition, heart rate values were not significantly different between the values of both girls and females during both tests (p> 0,05). When we looked at the difficulty levels that the athletes perceive in both tests, the Modified Hit-Turn Test was found to be more challenging by the athletes. Conclusıons: In conclusion, in the Modified Hit-Turn Tennis test, the athlete is expected to spend more power to hit the ball from the other side than from the striking ball. However, this extra power does not affect the number of heart beats. Key words: Tennis, Heart Rate, Hit-Turn Tennis Test, Aerobic Capacity, Endurance.
