Effects of coordination training with circuit method on forehand drive skill ability

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine eye-hand coordination training with the circuit method in improving forehand drive ability. Participants (n = 20) table tennis athletes aged 8-12 years, the research method used is experimental. The first stage of the procedure participants do a pre-test before doing the exercise, the second stage athletes are given exercise treatment, the third stage athletes do a posttest. Data collection using tests and measurements. The instrument uses a table tennis skill test. Data analysis using paired sample t-test. The results of this study indicate the comparison of pretest and posttest Sig values. 0.036, it can be said that these results have a significant difference or increase in results between the pre-test and post-test. The conclusion of the study explains that hand-eye coordination training with the circuit method can improve forehand drive ability in table tennis for children aged 8-12 years.
