ANALYSIS OF THE WARM-UP TO IMPROVE PHYSICAL CONDITIONING OF TABLE TENNIS PLAYERS

ABSTRACT Introduction: The development of table tennis and its rule changes increased the importance of physical training with the decline of ball speed and rotation, highlighting the importance of strong quality in the game. Objective: To study the effect of the muscular warm-up phase on improving physical conditioning in table tennis players. Methods: We randomly selected 20 high school table tennis players aged between 14 and 16 years as experimental objects through the analysis of pre-test data, combined with the characteristics of the group, where a physical training plan was generated. Results: After 12 weeks of training, the measured values were analyzed and compared, and it was found that this program can effectively improve the functional movement level of male table tennis players in high school students; the total test score was significantly improved (P<0.01), and the rate of increase was 22%. Conclusion: Muscle warm-up prior to physical training is important in improving athletic ability, enhancing athletic performance, and preventing sports injuries. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
