Regional body composition in professional tennis players. Part Two: Nutritional aspects of racket sports. Nutrition for racket sports. Body fluid loss during competitive tennis match-play. Fluid loss during international standard match-play in squash. Metabolic responses and performance in tennis after caffeine ingestion. The effect of carbohydrate ingestion on shot accuracy during a conditioned squash match. Part Three: Preparation for play in racket sports. Conditioning for tennis: preventing injury and enhancing performance strength and conditioning for racket sports. A preliminary investigation into a sports specific fitness test for table tennis players. The efficacy of training routines as a preparation for competitive squash. The travelling racket sports player. Part Four: Psychology of racket sports. From the laboratory to the courts: Understanding training, anticipation and decision making. Visual search strategy in "live" on-court situations in tennis: An exploratory study. Perceptions of the direction of multi-dimensional state anxiety during performance in elite and non-elite male tennis players. The method of research on specific movements and anticpation in sport under simulated conditions in table tennis. Using performance profiles with a regional junior table tennis squad. Analysis of self-regulation techniques in critical situations in table tennis. Technical rehearsal and imagery: a system for enhancing technical skills in table tennis. Type 'A' behaviour in squash.

Part Five: Medical, biomechanical and technical aspects of racket sports. Is the inhibition of smashing and serving movements due to anatomical variations? The importance of the speed of ball flight for the performance of junior tennis players. Knowledge based system for the simulation of decision making of the serve-return phase in tennis: the LIFT system. A qualitative 3D analysis of the forehand strokes in table tennis. An experimental investigation into the influence of the speed and spin by balls of different diameters and weights. Part Six: Notational analysis of racket sports. The application of notational analysis to racket sports. Analysing championship squash match-play as a dynamical system. Using computerised notational analysis to create a template for elite squash and its subsequent use in designing hand notation systems for player development.
