AN INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF COORDINATIVE ABILITY TRAINING PROGRAM ON ATTENTION, VERTICAL JUMP, AGILITY AND REACTION TIME PERFORMANCE OF U-12 TENNIS PLAYERS

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of coordinative ability training combined with basic tennis training on attention, vertical jump, agility and reaction time of tennis players. A total of 24 tennis players (10 girls-14 boys) voluntarily participated in the study. The experimental group participated in coordinative ability training with basic tennis training for 12 weeks, while the control group only participated in basic tennis training. As a result, a statistically significant difference was found in the vertical jump, agility and attention values of the experimental group, while no significant difference was found in reaction time (p>0.05). As a result, it can be said that coordinative ability training has an effect on jumping, agility and attention
