Summary

This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the effects of an eight-week functional training program on physical performance parameters in adolescent table tennis players. Functional training involves multi-joint and multi-plane exercises designed to improve movement quality, strength, balance, and coordination.

Thirty adolescent table tennis players will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: Functional Training, Conventional Training, or Control (routine training). The Functional Training group will perform a structured functional exercise program in addition to regular table tennis training, while the Conventional Training group will continue standard training routines. The Control group will maintain regular practice only.

Physical performance variables including flexibility, agility, speed, vertical jump performance, functional movement patterns, and balance will be assessed before, during, and after the intervention period.
