Why is a big serve considered a cheap-shot?
In tennis, great foot-speed, ground strokes, returns and fitness are all seen as admirable qualities. Why is it, then, that a big serve is often regarded as an unfair advantage. To me this makes no sense. After all, it is a shot, like any other, that has to be honed. There is nothing underhanded about it.
Yet, there are constant ideas proposed to prohibit fast serves: No second serve, wooden racquets, heavier balls, slower surfaces, etc. I myself am not a particularly huge server but I do think this is unfair. If fit players are not forced to gain weight to diminish their physical advantage and fast players are not made to wear ankle weights to slow them down why should big-servers have their advantage diluted?
The big serve, much like improved fitness and better equipment, has become a part of the modern game and its up to players to adjust. By eradicating the big serve, we are surely diminishing the variety that the sport prides itself in. What's your take?
It doesn't mean a great serve is an unfair advantage. It's more called a "free point" or a "cheap point" and not exactly "cheap shot" the way you'd accuse someone of making a mean remark. Because it gets you a point without having to work hard physically... no running, strategy or sweating. That doesn't diminish that a great serve doesn't take talent!! Nadal would love to have a great serve. Imagine his game if his serve improved!!!
What is not so pleasant about it, is that it is tough to assess the person's game from just how they serve. And its not as fun to watch constant aces. Sure an Ace here and there, or the 4 aces Roger served Samprass for emphasis, are fun. But you really want to watch their talent in other areas and observe their strategy skills and such.

Learners, Teachers and Learning Equipments $108.33 The traditional system of education where the teacher is the sole instructor and the students as mute spectators are long foregone. In its stead a new innovative method is evolved. The study wish to see the efficacy of this new system in an underdeveloped poor country like India. This work is a result of assessment surveys that are conducted by the SSA (Sarva Shikhsa Avijaan Educational For all Program) authority in the Burdwan district of West Bengal, India. Under SSA a new and innovative technique is used. We see the students in India are facing at least three problems in tackling this new method. First, being a first generation learner almost no familial help is sorted out to them. Unfortunately the teachers are not always able to mitigate this gap. Secondly, the children (mostly minority girl child) are burdened with heavy doses of family labor of daily household chores. Thirdly these girl children are strained by strong social taboos (like child marriage) that make their learning uncertain. In spite of these odds, the new system has raised their curiosity to a great extent. It is our duty that the sparkle in their eyes do not die away.

What Are Some of the Advancements in Fitness Clubs in the Past Few Years?
When fitness clubs first emerged, most of the clubs consisted of an exercise room, weight room, and an area for weights. Since that time, fitness clubs have made astounding improvements to meet the demands of consumers seeking to improve their health and fitness levels. During the past few years, the advancements in fitness products and services have opened up opportunities for people of all ages who want to maintain a healthy and fit lifestyle.
The advancements and improvements in fitness clubs have included:
Personal Services: Fitness centers now contain a host of services designed to cater to their customers' personal needs. This can include fully equipped locker rooms, showers, saunas, hot tubs, juice bars, nutritional supplement store, fresh towel centre, food and beverage facilities, and childcare facilities.
Improved fitness Equipment: This includes the most current and technologically advanced fitness equipment such as treadmills, wing machines, stationary exercise bikes, elliptical trainers, and stair climbers. As well, they carry every type of weightlifting equipment.
Sport Facilities: Not only have fitness clubs improved how we exercise; they have also expanded to include recreational facilities for such sports activities as racquetball, volleyball, basketball, tennis, swimming, squash, and more. There are sport and recreation facilities that will appeal to everyone, from children to seniors
Fitness Classes: There are certified fitness instructors that will train and teach customers how to safely maintain a fit lifestyle. This includes weight training sessions, cardiovascular health training, nutrition seminars, yoga classes, exercise classes, aerobics classes, Pilates, kick boxing, as well as healthy weight loss programs. Many clubs also contain spa and health services that include massage, sports medicine, physiotherapy, cardio strength, core strength, and muscle reconditioning.
Education Programs: Many fitness centers now offer such educational programs as injury prevention, special exercise training, nutrition, fitness assessments, personal counseling, health and wellness, age related health issues, CPR training, improving children's health, and much more.
Personal training is an important fitness club service. Qualified and certified trainers help clients obtain their set fitness goals. Training includes: one-one- training, safety training techniques, designing personal workouts to meet the client's needs, setting fitness goals, providing motivational support, and providing follow-up appointments to check on progress.
Because fitness clubs can offer a wide variety of services and programs, memberships depend on the particular club. Prices can range from $15.00 a month for fitness centers offering a minimum of services, to more than $200.00 per month for clubs that offer an extensive and broad range of programs and services.
Because of consumers' demands for methods of promoting an active lifestyle and improved health awareness, the result has been increased improvements in the fitness club industry. Fitness clubs now provide specially designed programs and services that will encourage and support their members in their efforts to achieve their desired fitness levels. The future of fitness club growth is expected to increase with clubs constantly improving and enhancing their programs and services. No matter the age, there are fitness club memberships that provide something for everyone.
