Development And Promotion Of Mass Table Tennis In A Certain Regiment Of The Rocket Army From The Perspective Of Basic Sports Psychological Needs

Since the 19 th National Congress,General Secretary Xi Jinping has given a series of important instructions in light of China’s national conditions and military realities,and gradually increased the intensity of military training,aiming at fundamentally improving our army’s ability to prepare for war and promoting the pace of strengthening our army and developing our army in the new era.Under this background,the officers and men of grass-roots units are facing tremendous pressure from both physical and psychological aspects.To strengthen the army,we must strengthen the body first.The physical and mental health of officers and men directly affects the construction and development of troops and the generation of combat effectiveness.Sports activities in the army are an important means to effectively adjust the physical and mental pressure of the officers and men in the grass-roots units,and sports activities are an important part of them,which can effectively increase the combat effectiveness,cohesion and centripetal force of the troops.Among them,table tennis,as China’s "national ball",is recognized and loved by the officers and men in the grass-roots units because of its strong entertainment and interaction.In this study,case study,literature review,questionnaire survey,interview and observation were used to study the satisfaction of the basic psychological needs of officers and men in a certain regiment of Rocket Army,the characteristics of the development of table tennis in this army and the measures that this army tried to promote table tennis,and then on the premise of meeting the basic psychological needs of officers and men in grass-roots army,an effective way to promote table tennis in grass-roots army in the future was put forward.Research found:（1）The average value of all dimensions of the basic psychological needs of officers and men in this army is higher than the theoretical average,and the psychological characteristics of officers and men are relatively stable.Male soldiers scored higher than female soldiers in their competency needs,and there was no significant difference between urban and rural officers and men.Officers and men who often participated in table tennis had a higher degree of satisfaction of their basic psychological needs than those who seldom did.（2）Most of the officers and men recognize the positive role of table tennis and understand the significance of table tennis.The motivation of officers and men to participate in table tennis is mainly entertainment and pressure adjustment.（3）On the whole,the development of table tennis in this army is not ideal.The equipment allocation rate of the table tennis field in this unit is high,but some officers and men still report that the equipment can not meet the needs.The frequency of playing table tennis after enlisting in the army is generally lower than that before enlisting in the army.Among them,the frequency of participating in table tennis after enlisting in the army for more than eight years is the lowest,and that of participating in table tennis for three to eight years is the highest,but only 26.89% of them participate in table tennis more than twice a month,which reflects that the overall participation rate of table tennis in the army is not very high.Every time the officers and men participate in table tennis,the amount of exercise is not large,mainly short-term and low-intensity sports within 30 minutes;The degree of organization is not high,and the officers and men are mainly in the form of spontaneous companionship;There are relatively few table tennis activities and competitions organized by the army.（4）In order to promote the development of table tennis,the army has taken some measures and achieved some results,but the effect is not particularly obvious.The main reasons that affect the promotion effect are the low enthusiasm of officers and men to participate in sports activities,the unsatisfactory level of venue equipment and the lack of table tennis activity system.From the perspective of meeting the basic psychological needs of officers and men in sports,this study puts forward some suggestions on the path of popularizing table tennis in grass-roots units:（1）From the angle of meeting the basic psychological needs,the most important thing for grass-roots units to promote table tennis is to meet the competent needs of officers and men,in addition,to stimulate the autonomy of officers and men and to create a harmonious relationship atmosphere between officers and men,and to adhere to the militancy,principles of mass,interest,pleasure and communication.（2）To promote table tennis in grass-roots units,we should pay attention to the basic psychological needs of officers and men and carry out table tennis from the angle of meeting the needs;Create the cultural connotation of table tennis,enrich the culture of table tennis in the army,and intensify efforts to improve the quality of existing venues and equipment level;Understand the needs of officers and men and organize table tennis activities that officers and men are interested in;Grassroots officials should pay more attention and leading cadres should take the lead in participating;Make full use of integration of defense and civilian technologies to carry out table tennis exchanges;Moreover,it is necessary to increase the publicity and promotion of the recruitment policy in sports colleges and universities,attract more table tennis talents into the army,and promote the continuous progress of table tennis in grass-roots units from the two levels of schools and troops.
