Abstract

The study aimed to design an assistive device, in addition to preparing exercises using this device that functions similarly to a coach, and to determine its effect on the accuracy of selected basic skills in table tennis. The researcher employed the experimental method with a single-group pre-test and post-test design, as it was appropriate for the nature of the research problem. The research sample consisted of a group of players from the University of Technology table tennis team for the 2024–2025 academic year. The results indicated that the use of the assistive device and the exercises performed with it played a major role in the improvement observed in the experimental group, contributing significantly to the development of accuracy in basic table tennis skills. The researcher recommended using such devices to develop other skills not addressed in the study and emphasizing the diversification of exercises using assistive tools to enhance learning efficiency and achieve faster skill acquisition
