The purpose of this study is to find out the comparison of peer teaching and individual training practice methods to improve the ability of forehand topspin table tennis in Student Activity Unit Table Tennis. This study is based on a finding during practice; a coach often has difficulty in coaching athletes who are new to table tennis. Athletes are not fond of the basic blows that should be mastered; one of the blows that has to be mastered is a forehand topspin blow. In the Student Activity Unit Table Tennis exercises are usually done using multyball exercises. The trainer only gives a large number of ball reflections without a movement evaluation so that the exercises are not effective and only result tiredness and unsuitable movements of forehand topspin biomechanics. The population in this study is all members of Student Activity Unit Table Tennis with the number of 20 people, 10 people in the peer teaching experimental group and 10 others in the individual training experimental group. This research method used is pre-experiment method with pretest-posttest design of static group. Data are obtained by skill test with the test instrument forehand topspin. Based on the data analysis using the application SPSS 17 for windows, both experimental groups show significant improvement and the peer teaching experimental class more significantly increase the forehand topspin ability by an average of 0.521 with medium criteria. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
