In this article, the researcher discusses the influence of sliding in three aspects: 1. The form and application of sliding movement. 2. Sliding on different surfaces and the possibility of getting injury. 3. How to train athletes to slide. From the analysis, the researcher discovered that, if players can utilize sliding efficiently, and perform lower body acceleration well, it is possible to enhance their movement on court. Besides, they are able to get prepared in an open stance when setting up for the stroke.
