<![CDATA[This study aimed to determine the effect of resistance band training on increasing top spin power in table tennis among PTM Mantang athletes in 2025. The research method used was a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest. Twenty athletes were sampled using a total sampling technique. The instrument used was a medicine ball throw test from a seated position, modified to resemble a top spin movement. Each athlete was given three attempts during the pretest and posttest, and the highest score was used in the analysis. Normality testing was performed using the Shapiro-Wilk test, and the results showed that the data were normally distributed. Therefore, analysis continued using a paired sample t-test. The test results showed a mean difference of -0.26000 with a t-value of -9.776 and a significance value of p=0.001 (p<0.005). This indicates a significant difference between the pretest and posttest. Thus, resistance band training has been shown to have a significant effect on increasing top spin power in PTM Mantang table tennis athletes.]]>
