The Impact of Intermittent Training on Neuromuscular Coordination and the Ability of Table Tennis Players

to Execute the Front and Back Straight Spiral Strokes

Abstract

In order to develop indicators and objective evidence of the effects resulting from stopping training, as well as to understand the relationship between training cessation and neuromuscular coordination and the forward and backhand spiral skills of table tennis players, it is important to have a clear understanding of the effects of stopping and restarting training. The association between halting and continuing training with the unique neuromuscular coordination (eye-hand) and (leg) of female table tennis players, as well as the forward and back spiral talents of these players, is revealed. Because of its applicability and the nature of the research, the researchers employed the descriptive approach. The study sample consisted of seven players, or 77.77% of the research population of nine players, and the research sample was removed. The research population comprised players from the Iraqi table tennis squad for the 2022–2023 sports season. (2) Participants in the reconnaissance experiment. To determine the validity of the tests and measurements employed and their applicability to the level of the study sample, the researchers carried out a reconnaissance experiment. After that, they taught the supporting work team on them. The three levels' tests and measurements were then carried out using statistical techniques (SPSS). The three main findings are that the research subject experienced a non-significant decline in their forward and backward spiral strike skills, a significant decline in their neuromuscular coordination, and a significant decline in their forward and backward spiral strike skills after a four-week training break.
