Study Title: The Effect of Functional Training on Speed, Balance, and Functional Capacity 
in Adolescent Table Tennis Players 
Objectives: Examine the effects of an eight-week functional training program compared with 
conventional and routine training on physical performance parameters (speed, balance, agility, 
flexibility, vertical jump, functional movement quality) in adolescent table tennis players. 
Participants: 30 adolescent table tennis athletes, aged 12–16, training ≥3 sessions per week for 
≥3 years. 
Interventions: 
Functional Training Group (Experimental): Eight-week functional training program 
3x/week + routine table tennis training, including exercises targeting flexibility, agility, speed, 
balance, and movement quality. 
Conventional Training Group (Active Comparator): Standard table tennis training 
3x/week for eight weeks. 
Control Group (No Intervention): Routine table tennis training without additional exercises. 
Outcome Measures: Flexibility, agility, speed, vertical jump, functional movement scan 
(FMS), static-dynamic balance 
Analysis: Repeated measures ANOVA; Bonferroni corrected post-hoc tests; significance set 
at p < 0.05; effect sizes reported using Cohen’s d and η². 
Ethics: Approved by Karabük University Non-Interventional Clinical Research Ethics
