Abstract

Table tennis is a high-speed open-skill sport that requires rapid reaction time and precise coordination to achieve accurate stroke performance. Forehand stroke accuracy plays a crucial role in scoring and maintaining game control, yet it is influenced by multiple perceptual-motor factors. This study aimed to determine the relationship between hand reaction speed and hand-eye coordination on forehand stroke accuracy among table tennis players at PTM Garuda Satria Club, Central Lampung. This research employed a quantitative correlational design using a survey method with test and measurement techniques. The population consisted of all active players at PTM Garuda Satria, with 25 male athletes selected through purposive sampling. Instruments included the Whole-Body Reaction Test to measure hand reaction speed, the Wall Toss Test to assess hand-eye coordination, and a forehand stroke accuracy test to evaluate target precision. Data were analyzed using Pearson product-moment correlation and multiple correlation analysis at a significance level of 0.05. The results indicated: (1) a very strong and significant negative relationship between hand reaction speed and forehand stroke accuracy (r = -0.919; p = 0.000 < 0.05), (2) a very strong and significant positive relationship between hand-eye coordination and forehand stroke accuracy (r = 0.878; p = 0.000 < 0.05), and (3) a very strong and significant simultaneous relationship between hand reaction speed and hand-eye coordination with forehand stroke accuracy (R = 0.928; p = 0.000 < 0.05). These findings confirm that perceptual-motor integration plays a dominant role in optimizing forehand performance in table tennis
