Effectiveness of plyometric training programme in increasing reaction speed in table tennis game

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of plyometric training programmes in improving reaction speed in table tennis players. This research method used an experimental approach with a pretest-posttest design. The study population consisted of 30 table tennis players who were divided into two groups: an experimental group that received a plyometric training programme and a control group that did not receive the intervention. Reaction speed was measured before and after the intervention period using specialized reaction measuring devices. The results showed that the group that underwent the plyometric training programme experienced a significant increase in reaction speed compared to the control group. In conclusion, the plyometric training programme proved to be effective in increasing reaction speed, which is an important component of table tennis. These findings have practical implications for coaches and athletes in designing more effective training programmes to improve athletic performance.
