| Summary: | An athlete‟s success or optimal performance during competition is the ultimate goal of
any coaches. This study is to explore the effects of Easy Five training programme on
technical and tactical performance of Malaysian male junior tennis players. The motive
of this study is to seek out a realistic and feasible solution in order to enhance the
performance of Malaysian junior tennis players. It involved a discussion of the
theoretical issues raised especially on the effectiveness of Easy Five training
programme as well as its relation with previous research. A total of thirty junior tennis
players (n=30) were selected in this study and were divided into Experimental and
Control groups with each group consists of fifteen participants (n=15). All participants
were tested on their performance variables namely the Groundstroke Depth,
Groundstroke Accuracy, Volley Depth, Serve, Agility and International Tennis Number
(ITN) total score. The Experimental group was engaged into the Easy Five training
programme and Control group went through tennis match play for 8 weeks. These
methods correlate with the objectives of this study which focuses on the technical and
tactical performance of all the participants and investigating the effects of an Easy Five
on the performance of the Malaysia junior tennis players. A mixed between-within
subject analysis known as split-plot ANOVA (SPANOVA) was used to test the research
questions. The pairwise comparison within group test of pre-test and post-test results
indicated that there was a statistical significant difference in the performance of
Experimental group in Groundstroke Depth (p = 0.001), Groundstroke Accuracy (p =
0.001), Volley Depth (p = 0.001), Serve (p = 0.01), Agility (p = 0.001) and International
Tennis Number (ITN) total score (p = 0.001). The results proved that participants from
Experimental group showed an improvement in all of the performance variables and also validate the positive effect of Easy Five training programme. Control group showed
a slight improvement in agility performance with (p = 0.01). Results from statistical
analysis also indicated that there are statistical significant difference between the two
groups after 8 weeks treatment in Groundstroke Depth (F1,28 = 12.59; p = 0.01),
Groundstroke Accuracy (F1,28 = 15.24; p = 0.01), Volley Depth (F1,28 = 29.55; p =
0.001) and ITN total score (F1,28 = 61.33; p = 0.001) but indicated no significant
difference in agility (F1,28 = 1.53; p = 0.23) and serve (F1,28 = 1.14; p = 0.29)
performance which dictate the optimistic effect of intervention training programme
engaged in this study. The findings revealed that the Easy Five which reflects the game
situations training approach is a viable method in formulating a training programme as
it shows positive effects on the performance and provides significant recommendations
to coaches and players about designing an effective training programme. |
