THE WORK-OUTS TO OPTIMIZE THE EFFICIENCY FOOTWORK – A CASE STUDY FOR TALENTED FEMALE TABLE TENNIS ATHLETES AT THE AGE OF 14-15 IN VINH LONG PROVINCE, VIETNAM

Tran Minh Tuan, Nguyen Mai Dinh

Abstract


The purpose of this study was to build up and evaluate the application of work-outs about the efficiency of footwork for talented female table tennis athletes. 08 healthy female talented table tennis athletes at the age of 14-15 in Vinh Long province were chosen to participate in the 8-week pre-season training. Results indicated that the 20 work-outs were selected to improve the efficiency footwork through the basis of training principle, participant’ characteristics, previous studies, and expert interviews. Besides, there were significant differences in all 06 tests to evaluate the footwork ability after the experiment. Moreover, the percentage of change indicated increased, from the objective perspective, we found that the growth rate was still at the moderate level (from 2.72% to 6.07%). Therefore, it is necessary to apply the 20 work-outs more flexibly and closely to improve the efficiency of footwork in different training phases next year. It was concluded that the application of the 20 work-outs about the efficiency of footwork had positive effects on female talented table tennis athletes. Future studies should be conducted on a group of males, diverse in training levels, and/or on the other sports group that need to promote footwork ability.
