Concept Of Development Model Training Forehand Drive Table Tennis 6-9 Years

Abstract

This research aims to develop a model of forehand drive training in drill-based table tennis for ages 6-8 years. Objective this study aims to increase the accuracy of the pattern and results of the forehand drive in table tennis for athletes. The research methods used are 9 phases of research: research and information collecting, planning, development of the form of a product, preliminary field testing, main product revision, main field testing, operational product revision, final field testing, and final product. The number of participants was 20 South Sulawesi table tennis athletes and the research was conducted at the table tennis building in the Gowa district, South Sulawesi. The data collection technique is done by recording the forehand drive using a camera. The data analysis technique was carried out using Kinovea motion analysis and table tennis forehand drive movement pattern parameters which were analyzed consisting of; the first phase, the backswing phase, the impact phase, and the follow-through, while the motion results obtained from table tennis forehand driveability in the medium category. the researcher used statistical parametric arithmetic descriptive quantitative and qualitative tools. Results: the results of the study were that the mastery of the initial phase obtained moderate results, the backswing phase was low, the impact was low, the follow-through was also low, and the motion results were in the moderate category. Conclusion: the conclusion of this study is that table tennis athletes' forehand driveability is still low which is caused on average by less than optimal trunk rotation, strength on the legs, hand-eye coordination, and the accuracy of hitting the bat with the ball.
