DEVELOPMENT OF SPEED SKILLS IN BOYS 11-12 YEARS OLD PLAYING TABLE TENNIS

Abstract

Table tennis is one of the most popular and accessible sports that interests and attracts people of all ages, genders and fitness levels.Table tennis includes various elements that contribute to the development of various physical and mental characteristics, which is especially important for children.Table tennis is a game where the player must react quickly to the movement of the ball and the actions of the opponent. A higher level of reaction and speed of movements leads to better control over the game and greater accuracy of shots. To play table tennis, children must have developed motor skills. The game of table tennis is characterized as a motor activity in variable conditions, where the performance of motor actions with different speeds of muscle work occurs during the intensive processing of a significant amount of sensory information. In addition, a combination of active high-speed actions with short periods of rest is characteristic.Technical training in table tennis affects the development of speed qualities through improved coordination of movements, reaction speed, use of force, accuracy and stability. These aspects help athletes to reach a higher level of play and increase their ability to perform actions on the table quickly and efficiently.Physiological features of the development of speed qualities in children of younger adolescence (11-12 years old) require a specific approach to the educational and training process. When working with this age group, you should pay attention to the individual characteristics of children, their state of health, their interest in classes and motivation.Based on the research of scientists, the analysis of scientific literature, a program for the development of speed qualities in boys of 11-12 years who play table tennis was developed and experimentally verified.
