The effectiveness of “Boteli” and Fed on exercises to court tennis backhand groundstroke rally skills

Introduction and objective. Study aims to determine the effectiveness of Boteli exercises and fed on the groundstroke rally skills of backhand tennis in sports students. Methodology. 110 sports students participated in a pseudo-experimental study with a two group pretest-posttest design over 12 meetings. Test the instrument using Hewwit's Tennis Achievement. Paired t-test and independent t-test at significance α = 0.05 were used for data analysis with the help of SPSS 25 software. Results. Analysis of the paired t-test results showed that the Boteli and Passed exercises obtained Sig. (2-tailed) values of 0.000 and 0.024. Based on the results of the independent t-test analysis, it is known that the value of Sig. (2-tailed) of the post-test data of the second exercise is 0.001. This means that there is a difference between the average score of the Boteli and fed on exercise post-test. The average score of the Boteli exercise post-test was 11.209 and the Feeder exercise was 9.091. Conclusions. Based on the results of data analysis, the two exercises influence improving the groundstroke backhand rally skills of sports students. From the results of the independent t-test analysis, it is known that the average score of the post-test of the Boteli exercise is greater than that of the fed on exercise. This means that Boteli exercises are better than Fed exercises in improving the backhand groundstroke rally skills of sports students. This study concluded that backhand groundstroke rally skills in court tennis can be improved with varied practice.
