Abstract
The purposes of this study were: 1) to investigate the effects of training using a nine-square program that combines hand and foot that affect the agility of table tennis athletes at the Thailand National Sports University Lampang Campus, and 2) to compare the outcomes of training using a nine-square program that combines foot and hand with the basic table tennis skills training program of table tennis players at the Thailand National Sports University Lampang Campus. The population in research were 16 table tennis players, divided into an experimental group 1 and group 2, with 8 players per group by match-paired sampling. Research tools were 1) a nine-square training program combining hand and foot 2) basic table tennis skills training program, and 3) the forehand hitting 2 points test, experimental 1 trained by a nine-square program that combines hand and foot, and experimental 2 trained using the basic table tennis skills training program, 8 weeks for trained. Data were analyzed using basic statistics, the mean, and the standard deviation. The research results found that: 1) Effects of a nine-square training program combining hand and foot, the test of agility of experimental group 1 before training, the average was 31.63 points, after the 8th week of training, the averages were 38.88 points. It is considered that players have increased agility. 2) The results of comparing the agility between the experimental group 1 and group 2 showed that before training, the experimental group 1 had similar scores for agility to the experimental group 2 with a mean score difference of 0.5 points. After the 8th week of training, the experimental group 1 had an agility score better than the experimental group 2, with a difference in average score of 4.38 points. In conclusion, a nine-square training program combining hand and foot can improve the agility of table tennis player of Thailand National Sports University Lampang Campus, and a nine-square training program combining hand and foot can develop agility better than training using a basic table tennis skills training program.
