ENTRENAMIENTO DEL NÚCLEO ABDOMINAL EN JUGADORES DE TENIS DE MESA

ABSTRACT

Introduction

The current teaching mode of table tennis in China is satisfactory, but there are still some problems that are the focus of physical education teachers, such as the low efficiency of sports training.

Objective

Study the effect of abdominal core training on table tennis teaching.

Methods

Volunteers trained in table tennis at a physical education college were divided into the experimental and control group. Before and after the beginning of the experiment, table tennis students’ physical indices and overall physical scores were obtained under a parameterized protocol.

Results

The overall score of the experimental group resulted from 7.355 (± 1.827) to 9.072 (± 1.992) before training, and the mean difference was 1.2581 points (P < 0.05), indicating a significant difference. The control group score increased from 7.606 (± 1.937) to 7.989 (± 1.440) before training, and the mean difference was 0.1976, P > 0.05, indicating no significant difference.

Conclusion

Compared with the current way of teaching table tennis, the scheme proposed in this paper showed better sports efficiency and could help students to improve their physical quality and sports ability. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
