Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 醫學工程研究所 === 104 === Successful scoring in table tennis return service relies on the visual patterns, upper-limb’s muscles activity, and inter-joint coordination of the players during the oncoming ball. The target in which a gaze is stares at, the activity of related muscles, and the coordination between upper-limb’s joint may come from the learning method. To explore the relationship between those three issues, I designed a series of table tennis learning. Preceding and following up by 2 tests, which are machine test without demand of decision-making using electromyography (EMG) and motion capture system (only for elite players) as evaluation instruments and coach test with demand of decision-making using eye-tracker as evaluation instruments. A total of 40 novices was then randomly assigned into four learning groups, including the group which received explicit instruction with motor imagery (MI) (EIMI group, n=10, mean age 21±3 years), explicit instruction without MI (EI group, n=10, mean age 21±3 years), implicit instruction with MI (IIMI group, n=10, mean age 21±3 years), and implicit instruction without MI (II group, n=10, mean age 21±3 years). Nine elite table tennis players were followed the tests only. My results showed that novice participants who increased the score of succeed return have been trained by motor imagery-learning and explicit instruction. Findings from this research on participants’ training type effect shed light on the future of table tennis motor-learning method.
