Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between concentration and hand eye coordination with the accuracy of backhand backspin service. Quantitative approaches and correlational methods are used in this study. This research was conducted at PTM Gempas. The population in this study were all cadet athletes at PTM Gempas, while the sampling technique used was saturated sampling, which means that all athletes totaling 20 people were used as samples. Player concentration data is collected using a concentration grid test, hand eye coordination data is obtained by throwing a tennis ball test, and data for backhand backspin service accuracy is obtained by testing servicing. The results of this study are as follows: 1) Concentration has a strong enough relationship with the accuracy of backhand backspin service, 2) Hand eye coordination has a strong enough relationship with backhand backspin service accuracy. 3) Concentration and hand eye coordination together have a strong enough relationship with backhand backspin service accuracy. Table tennis coach should train the concentration and eye-hand coordination to improve the athlete's service accuracy.
Highlights
Service is the main capital for a player to get points, the large variety of services a player has will make it difficult for the opponent to anticipate what service will be served, service that cannot be anticipated properly by the opponent will be an advantage for the service provider, the ball returned is usually becomes easy to turn off (Norzuria Ibrahim, et al, 2020; Li & Yang, 2020)
Concentration relationship with backhand backspin service accuracy Based on the data analysis conducted with the Pearson product moment correlation, the level of relationship between concentration and accuracy of backhand backspin service is 0.44, which means that the level of relationship between the two variables is in the sufficient category
The concentration factor often does not get serious attention by the coach, even though the role of concentration is very important in all sports, including table tennis (Bastug, 2018; Van Biesen, et al, 2010)
Summary
Service is the main capital for a player to get points, the large variety of services a player has will make it difficult for the opponent to anticipate what service will be served, service that cannot be anticipated properly by the opponent will be an advantage for the service provider, the ball returned is usually becomes easy to turn off (Norzuria Ibrahim, et al, 2020; Li & Yang, 2020). Servicing plays an important role in winning the match, good serve, attacking the ball that is taken directly after serving, or attacking the ball after receiving service with forehand and backhand will determine who will be the winner in a match The placement of the ball when service is very important if you want to win in a match. In addition to the placement of the ball, the factor of the type of ball spin given will increase the difficulty for the service recipient If a player is able to provide the right service according to the tactics he is playing and the ball spin is difficult to predict, there is a big possibility that the ball he will receive after
