THE EFFECT OF A RECOMMENDED TRAINING PROGRAM FOR DEVELOPING THE MOTOR ANTICIPATION SPEED ON PERFORMING SOME ANTICIPATORY SITUATIONS AND OFFENSIVE SKILLS FOR TABLE TENNIS JUNIOR PLAYERS

Table tennis balls are different in directions, places and speeds. He linked the ball speed with its direction and type of spine. There are spine-free balls that represent a problem for the junior player in anticipating the ball speed, place and trajectory. The current research is an attempt to increase the experiences of junior table tennis players under 15 years as long as the junior player at this stage lakes the necessary experience, When using a device for measuring the motor anticipation speed in the training hall, this will be considered as a valuable additive in the field of anticipation speed for table tennis juniors using the real playing tools that are the ball, the racquet and the table. Designing a training program for enhancing motor anticipation speed skills using different ball directions, places and speeds for junior table tennis players under 15 years, Recognizing the effect of using the recommended training program on enhancing and developing motor anticipation speed for junior table tennis players under 15 years. The researcher used the experimental approach using one group with pre- and post-measurements, (15) Junior table tennis players under 15 years from Tanta Sports Club, The motor anticipation speed measuring tool (designed by the researcher), Anticipatory situations tests (designed by the researcher). Findings: The anticipatory situations tests (simple or complex) indicated a positive direction in increasing the improvement percentage after applying the recommended training program.
