This systematic review examines the effectiveness of various training programs on the development of strength in senior-category table tennis players. Eight studies were included, all analyzing the effects of strength-related training interventions. A total of 279 participants were covered, with an average age of 21.67 ± 2.41 years, while the duration of the programs ranged from 4 to 12 weeks. Among the included studies, seven reported positive outcomes, whereas one study found no noticeable effects. The synthesis of findings indicates that training programs based on plyometric, combined, ballistic, or functional approaches lead to significant improvements in muscle strength parameters. Programs lasting six to eight weeks, performed three times per week, proved to be the most effective for enhancing different components of strength.
