Description

<p>In this research, we developed an assistive suit for table tennis beginners to assist their backswing motion with pneumatic artificial muscles. We designed this suit to assist with hip flexion and external rotation during backswing movements. To validate the effect of this device on the practice of table tennis beginners, we selected 6 participants of close ability from 10 participants and conducted a 3-day evaluation experiment with 3 participants in experimental group and 3 participants in control group. From the results of the experiment, we verified the effectiveness of the device in correcting movement form and reducing the number of processing tasks during exercise movements. As a result, continuous practice with the assistive suit showed a stable improvement effect with respect to hip flexion compared to the control group. However, a trade-off relationship was observed between racket speed, a physical ability, and ball return rate, a cognitive ability, in both the experimental and control groups, and no task reduction effect could be confirmed.</p>
