Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the employment of working memory in participatory dyad training on learning forehand table tennis skills of adolescent girls. Participants were selected convenience sampling form from 24 junior high school girls in Nahavand city and were randomly divided into two groups of low and high cognitive load. Both groups performed five sessions of participatory dyad training with their respective level of cognitive involvement that each session consisted of 20 sets of 3-minute with a 1-minute rest time between sets. The performance of table tennis forehand was measured in the pre-test, post-test, retention and transfer stages. The results showed that both low and high cognitive groups showed significant progress from pre-test to transfer; Also, the high cognitive group performed better in the post-test, retention and transfer stages than the low cognitive group. Therefore, high cognitive load during the participatory dyad training facilitates learning forehand table tennis skills.
