Abstract

Tennis requires coordination and concentration. Concentration is a very important component in improving achievement, because concentration is the ability to focus one's attention in a relatively long period of time. This ability must be possessed by individuals because concentration will affect a person's cognitive abilities. If a person's concentration is high, his cognitive abilities will also be high. One of the causes of someone experiencing concentration problems is because the person likes to daydream excessively. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the motor cognitive coordination training (MCCT) program could improve the concentration ability of beginner tennis players. The method used was the experimental method. The research subjects were novice tennis athletes in Tasikmalaya, totaling thirty-seven people. The age range of the participants ranged from 11-16 years. As a result, it is proven that the implementation of the MCCT program provides good effectiveness for increasing the concentration of beginner tennis athletes. This is supported by the results of the significance test with the P-value of the paired sample t-test of 0.001 <0.05. This means that Ho is rejected, so it can be concluded that there is a difference in the average concentration test scores between the pre-test and post-test in this study. © 2023 by authors, all rights reserved.
