The Effect of Drill Training and Reaction Time on Forehand Drive Ability in Table Tennis Game on Students of the Faculty of Sports Science

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine: (1) The effect of drill training between fixed and variable targets on the ability of forehand drive, (2) The difference between high reaction time and low reaction time on the ability of forehand drive, (3 ) Interaction between drill practice and reaction time on forehand drive ability. The research design used a 2x2 factorial experiment. The population used is 110 students of the sport science faculty. A sample of 40 people was taken using the Randomized group design technique. The instruments used to collect data are: (1) reaction time test using a ruler drop test, (2) forehand drive ability test using a skill test using a skill test from Nurhasan, (4) The exercise program is a guideline that will be used in providing treatment. The data analysis technique used was Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) at a significance level of = 0.05. The results of hypothesis testing are proven that: (1) There is a significant difference in drill practice between fixed target training and variable targets on the ability of forehand drive where the calculated F value = 6.812 > F table = 3.96, at the significance level = 0, 05; (2) There is a significant difference between high reaction time and low reaction time on forehand drive ability where the calculated F value = 33,102 > F table = 3,96, at the significance level = 0,05; (3) There is no interaction between drill practice and reaction time on forehand drive ability where the calculated F value = 0.000 < F table 3.96, at the significance level = 0.05; Research conclusions: 1) There is a significant difference in the effect of fixed target drills and variable target drills on the ability of forehand drive in sports science students. 2) There is a significant difference in the effect of high reaction time and low reaction time on the forehand drive ability of the students of the Faculty of Sports Science. 3) There is no interaction between drill practice and reaction time on forehand drive ability in sports science students. 2) There is a significant difference in the effect of high reaction time and low reaction time on the forehand drive ability of the students of the Faculty of Sports Science. 3) There is no interaction between drill practice and reaction time on forehand drive ability in sports science students. 2) There is a significant difference in the effect of high reaction time and low reaction time on the forehand drive ability of the students of the Faculty of Sports Science. 3) There is no interaction between drill practice and reaction time on forehand drive ability in sports science students.
