PHYSICAL TRAINING DEDICATED TO TABLE TENNIS ATHLETES

ABSTRACT Introduction Table tennis is an explosive metabolic anaerobic sport of moderate intensity. Improving the level of its athletes depends on dedicated physical training methods. The Chinese state has invested more financial support for physical training believing in the effective possibility to improve the physical fitness and abilities of its table tennis athletes. Objective This study aims to analyze the effect of special physical training on table tennis players’ motor skills Methods This paper selects several table tennis players as research subjects. The volunteers were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group adopted the exclusive physical training method. The control group underwent traditional training. Mathematical, statistical and experimental methods were used to analyze the impact of exclusive physical training on the motor skills of table tennis players. Results The test scores of the experimental group were significantly improved after four weeks and six weeks of exclusive physical training (P<0.01). There was no significant change in the three diagnostic test scores in the control group (P>0.05). After six weeks of a physical training intervention in the experimental group, the 0-score group disappeared. The distribution of the scores of the athletes gradually converges to the highest group. Conclusion Table tennis players showed good feedback on the functional intervention training protocol. Dedicated physical training positively affects the mastery, dexterity and skill in movement techniques of table tennis players. This work can provide a theoretical basis for scientific training of table tennis players. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
