Comparación de 6 semanas de entrenamiento multibola vs modificado para la efectividad del drive en tenimesistas de la usta-tunja

Abstract

The objective is to improve the effectively of the drive stroke over the table, taking on count that is one of the most important strokes in table tennis. Methodology: The research has a quantitative approach: 9 young athletes, male and female, from the tennis group players from the seed team of Santo Tomas-Tunja University, signed the informed consent. The test carried out, consists on responding to 30 balls sent by the coach to the right or left side depending on the tennis player, so that the athletes can respond with a cross drive hit, where on the top or near the opponent's player on the table there is a square (10x10 cm), obtaining as result that each ball that falls inside the square is a positive point (+) and each ball outside the square is a negative point (-); In this manner, a table was prepared to quantitatively evaluate (effectively) showing positive points (+) and negative points (-) and the group was divided into two subgroups: 4 participants in the control group and 5 in the experimental group. A training plan was carried out with each subgroup for 6 weeks with the difference of the 300gr bracelets on the wrists of the experimental group. An improvement is evident in the technical gesture in the positive points with a value (P= 0.0836) and in the experimental group a margin of less possible error is evident in the technical gesture with a value (P= 0.477). We can conclude that the modified multiball method, if it is carried out in more weeks of training in athletes, may result in an increase in the improvement in the effectiveness of the drive stroke. With the 6 weeks of multiball training, fewer errors will be generated in the technical gesture.
