ENTRENAMIENTO DE LA FUERZA EN LOS MIEMBROS INFERIORES Y MOVILIDAD EN EL TENIS DE MESA

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Between the existing fast movement ability training program and the real situation of the athletes, there is a discrepancy, which needs to be solved.

Objective:

Study the effects of lower limb strength training on fast movement ability in table tennis.

Methods:

A total of 40 volunteers were recruited and divided into the experimental and control groups, with 20 people in each group. The control group followed the traditional table tennis fast-movement training program. In contrast, the experimental group added lower limb strength training based on the traditional table tennis fast movement training program. The experimental and control groups conducted training experiments twice a week, one hour at a time, for a total of 8 weeks.

Results:

In the specific fast movement fitness test, the number of upper stages before training in the experimental group was 55.91, and after training was 61.25 (P<0.01). In the whole platform turning speed test, the number in the experimental group before training was 61.40, and after training was 64.28 (P<0.01).

Conclusion:

Fitness in the rapid movement ability of table tennis players was optimized after the addition of the lower limb strength training program. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
