1. Introduction

eaching initial techniques to learners is considered an extremely important task, it directly affects the process of forming technical movements. The application of new scientific teaching methods with the support of professional means will help improve learners’ techniques as quickly as possible [1].

Teaching always involves correcting and improving techniques, so creating accurate technical models using specialized means is very useful and highly practical. The actual survey of the teaching process at Hong Duc University shows that although lecturers apply quite a variety of pedagogical methods in teaching technology to students with the application of specialized means of exercises, in terms of subjects and specializations, the application of specialized supporting means is weak, leading to low teaching effectiveness [2].

Based on the analysis of the importance and urgency of the problem, the study has shown the application of a number of professional supporting means to improve the topspin forehand tennis ball technique for students majoring in Physical Education at Hong Duc University is a necessary issue.

2. Methodology

The research process uses the following methods: Document analysis and synthesis method; Pedagogical observation method; Interview method; Pedagogical testing methods; Mathematical and statistical methods [2].

3. Findings And Discussion

A. Choosing Professional Supporting Means to Improve the Topspin Forehand Tennis Ball Technique for Students Majoring in Physical Education at Hong Duc University

On the theoretical basis of choosing professional supporting means to improve the topspin forehand tennis ball technique for students majoring in Physical Education at Hong Duc University, by reference and analysis of materials. We have initially identified 10 professional supporting tools that meet the theoretical requirements [3, 4].

With the purpose of determining the practical basis of choosing specialized means of support for application in teaching to improve techniques for research subjects, the topic conducted interviews with 60 people who are trainers and experts currently teaching and coaching tennis nationwide using questionnaires.

The topic will select supporting means that are evaluated at over 80% of agreeing opinions [5]. The results are presented in the Table 1.

  3. Move and hit the tennis ball with forehand at multiple points on the court 30 times.

B. Applying and Evaluating the Effectiveness of Professional Support Means to Improve the Forehand Topspin Tennis Ball Technique for Students Majoring in Physical Education at Hong Duc University

1) Experimental Organization [2]
  1. Method: Parallel comparison experiment.

  2. Experimental subjects: 12 K21 students majoring in Physical Education at Hong Duc University.

  3. Experimental period: Semester 2, school year 2021-2022. Total 60 lessons, corresponding to 30 lesson plans.

  4. Experimental location: Hong Duc University.

  5. Testing and evaluation: Conducted at the time before the experiment (beginning of semester 2) and after the experiment (end of semester 2).

  6. Tests used in the evaluation include:

  • Test 1. From the middle of the court, move to the sideline of the single court, hit the forehand topspin tennis ball diagonally into the 15m2 box, 10 shots (balls)

  • Test 2. Coordinate horizontal movement to hit the forehand topspin tennis ball into a 15m2 box in a straight line with 10 balls per box ()

  • Test 3. Hit the forehand topspin tennis ball continuously against the wall 50 time (s).

C. Evaluation of Applicability [2]

Pre-experimental test results. Before the experiment, we tested the forehand topspin tennis ball technique of the control and experimental groups using 3 selected tests, and compared the differences in the test results of the 2 groups as a basis for monitoring the change in technical level of hitting the forehand topspin tennis ball of each group during the 3-month experiment. The results are presented in Table 2.

Table 3: Comparison of initial achievement test results of the experimental and control groups – before the experiment (n=12)

2 Test 2 5.14 ± 0.48 5.08 ± 0.51 0.91 0.05
3 Test 3 117.6 ± 1.02 118.1 ± 0.98 1.27 0.05

Table 2 shows; Before the experiment, the test results for the 3 criteria found were all less than t=2.120 at the probability threshold P>0.05. Thus, the results of testing the forehand topspin tennis ball technique of the experimental and control groups did not have a statistically significant difference at the threshold with P > 0.05. This proves that the grouping is completely objective, in other words before the experiment, the results of testing the forehand topspin tennis ball technique of the experimental and control groups were equal [5].

Test results after 03 months of experimenting with supporting media and selected topic, the topic conducted a test to evaluate achievement through tests to test the forehand topspin tennis ball technique of the practice group. Experimental and control with the same tests as before the experiment, and compare the difference in test results between the two groups. The results are presented in Table 3.

3 Test 3 105.6 ± 1.13 113.1±0.82 3.777 0.05

Table 3 shows that after 3 months of experimenting according to the selected topic exercises, the results of testing the forehand topspin tennis ball technique of the experimental and control groups were significantly different in all tests shown in table > table at probability threshold P<0.05. Thus, after 3 months of experimenting with exercises on selected topics, exercises with specialized supporting equipment have had clear effects on experimental subjects.

4. Conclusion

Select 06 means with 16 specialized supplementary exercises to improve the forehand topspin tennis ball technique for students majoring in Physical Education at Hong Duc University. The initial application of the means in practice has shown practical effectiveness in improving shading techniques for students majoring in Physical Education at Hong Duc University.
