Abstract
The purposes of this study were to 1) investigate the effects of multiball training program combined with robot training and multiball training program with regular table tennis training and 2) compare the reaction time between multiball training program combined with robot training and multiball training program with regular table tennis training. The samples were 30 male table tennis players aged 18-25 years old taken by purposive sampling and were divided into 2 groups: experimental group 1 and experimental group 2. Each group comprised of 15 players. The research instruments were 1) multiball training program combined with robot training, 2) multiball training program with regular table tennis training, and 3) reaction time test. Statistical data analysis with One-Way ANOVA with repeated measures was performed within group. Bonferroni method was used for post - hoc comparison and comparing between groups by using independent t-test. The significance level was set at .05. Results showed that the mean reaction time after 6 weeks of training was faster than training session for 4 weeks and before training, respectively in both group of multiball training program and regular table tennis training (experimental group 1) and group of multiball training program combined with robot training (experimental group 2). The mean reaction time after 4 and 6 weeks of training in the experimental group was significantly faster than that of the experimental group 1 (p<.05). Furthermore, the researchers also found that the mean reaction time after 4 weeks of training in the experimental group 2 was significantly faster than that of the session of training after 6 weeks in the experimental group 1 (p<.05).
