Research On The Forming Process Of Table Tennis Athletes' Tactic Consciousness And Its Characteristics

Tactic consciousness is one of table tennis athletes' training contents,which is, however,often ignored in training practice.Concrete techniques and tactics become the main contents instead.Therefore,training does not accord with competitions and athletes become training-type athletes who are not good at competitions.The purpose of techniques and tactics is to serve for competition whose course is the course of using techniques and tactics in a reasonable way.Because tactic consciousness is the bridge between training and competition,athletes' competitive ability will be brought into full play and athletes will get the best results in competitions if tactic consciousness accords with competitive ability.With the qualitative research method,the unique characteristics of table tennis athletes' tactic consciousness are researched in the fields of sports training and sports psychology.By interviewing six athletes and four scholars and coaches who are engaged in table tennis teaching and training for many years,after the data are coded, recorded and analyzed,the forming process of interviewees' tactic consciousness,its characteristics and its influencing factors are researched.The conclusions are as follows.First,tactic consciousness is the reflection of athletes' ideation,which comes into being and develops gradually with the improvement of athletes' techniques and the accumulation of their experiences.Athletes often have their own ways in their development process of competitive ability.However,this kind of ideation is not systematic.Second,there are six aspects of tactic consciousness,including aim,better, adjustment,activeness,anticipation and secret.Play with Mind or Play Cleverly are the descriptions about the characteristics of tactic consciousness shown in competitions.Third,there are many influencing factors of the formation and development of athletes' tactic consciousness,including the subjective influences of such six aspects as athletes' personalities and the objective influences of coaches' ability and coaching styles.Fourth,the formation of athletes' tactic consciousness is not only showed by the resolution ability in competitions,but also showed by the preparation before competitions.Fifth,based on the analysis of interview results,the concept of table tennis athletes' tactic consciousness is defined as the course of thoughts that athletes can quickly know the opponents' characteristics of competitive abilities and then use the right techniques and tactics according to their own characteristics,in order to get the best results,which runs through the whole courses of competitions and training.
