Abstract
Abstract
the purpose of the present study was to compare eight weeks of table tennis-specific physical fitness exercises and central body stability exercises on performance indicators (top spin forehand hit score, leg specific movement speed, pivot score) of teenage female table tennis players. In terms of methodology, the current research was semi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design, and in terms of the purpose of the research, it was an applied research. The statistical population of this research was female table tennis players aged 12 to 14, 20 volunteer players were selected from Tabriz teams and in experimental group one (central stability exercises) and experimental group two (special physical fitness exercises for table tennis). From both experimental groups, one and two pre-tests, which include the measurement of selected functional factors, were performed. Then the experimental group performed the respective protocols one and two for eight consecutive weeks, three sessions per week and for 30 minutes in each session. After finishing the exercises, the selected performance indicators were re-measured as a post-test. Finally, to analyze the statistical data, independent t-test was used to examine the between-group effect and dependent t-test was used to examine the within-group effect in SPSSv25 software. The results showed that the effect of eight weeks of physical fitness training for table tennis and central stability training on the pivot score of table tennis players is different (P<0.05). Also, the effect of eight weeks of physical fitness training for table tennis was not different with central stability training on the movement speed of the legs and the forehand score of table tennis players (P<0.05); In general, the effect of the physical fitness training group for table tennis on the specific movement speed of the legs and the top spin forehand impact was greater than the central stability training group. Considering the effectiveness of both table tennis specialized exercises and central stability exercises, coaches can use these types of exercises in their training program according to the conditions of their athletes.
