Tennis tech boost for special needs teens
NCT ID NCT07517016
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a real-time pose recognition system could help 30 teenagers with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities learn tennis skills more accurately and quickly than traditional coaching. Participants were split into two groups: one used the technology during training, the other received standard face-to-face instruction. The goal was to see if the tech improved movement accuracy, reaction time, and motivation.
