EFFECT OF MULTIBALL TRAINING ON THE ACCURACY OF FOREHAND AND BACKHAND DRIVES OF TABLE TENNIS ATHLETES MAKOTA MALANG

Tenis meja memiliki beberapa gerakan pukulan diantaranya yaitu drive. Untuk meningkatkan kualitas pukulan drive atlet harus memiliki program latihan yang baik salah satu bentuk latihannya yaitu program Multiball kepada atlet. Pukulan Drive merupakan teknik yang harus di kuasai oleh atlet dengan meningkatkan kualitas pukulan Forehand maupun Backhand yang diberikan melalui program latihan multibal untuk sang atlet. Metode penelitian yang digunakan yaitu metode eksperimen & jenis penelitiannya menggunakan deskriptif kuantitatif dengan cara memberikan program latihan pada 15 atlet yang sudah dipilih menjadi sampel dengan diberikan program yang serupa sebanyak 12 kali pertemuan. Bentuk desain yang dipakai pada penelitian ini merupakan desain pre test dan post test yang berarti perlakuan pada atlet yang berupa kegiatan tes awal, treatment atau latihan-latihan dan tes akhir. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa variabel kemampuan ketepatan sasaran pukulan forehand drive memiliki pengaruh terhadap latihan multiball pada keterampilan bermain tenis meja, karena dari hasil analisis korelasi diperoleh koefisien korelasi 0,230, artinya kategori rendah atau lemah. Sedangkan backhand drive memiliki pengaruh terhadap latihan multiball pada keterampilan bermain tenis meja diperoleh koefisien korelasi sebesar 0,972, artinya kategori kuat. Hubungan keduanya yang diberikan cukup kuat 

Table tennis has several stroke movements including drive. To improve the quality of the drive shot, the athlete must have a good training program, one form of training, namely the Multiball program for athletes.

The results showed that the variable forehand drive target accuracy has an influence on multiball training on table tennis skills, because the correlation analysis results obtained a correlation coefficient of 0.230, meaning that the category is low or weak. While backhand drive has an influence on multiball training on table tennis skills, the correlation coefficient is 0.972, which means that the category is strong. The relationship between the two given is quite large and needs to be considered in multiball training on the skills of table tennis athletes in Makota Malang City.
