“…Herein, the test explores the phase of attack with offensive strokes at defensive balls delivered by a robot close to the edge of the table, which could constitute a limitation of this investigation. Besides elements used in the phase of attack, the whole structure of technical-tactical elements in table tennis also includes those used in the phase of defense, and those used in the phase of preparing one’s own and disabling the opponent’s attack, which are performed at balls bounce in different playing surfaces over the table (i.e., net zone, middle zone, baseline/edge zone) ( Munivrana et al, 2015a , b ). In line with this, development of technical-tactical tests applied to tennis proposed different tactical situations (i.e., offensive, neutral and defensive rallies) by varying the direction of the ball sent by robot ( Vergauwen et al, 1998 ; Kolman et al, 2017 ).…”

“…However, table tennis is characterized by short rallies (3.4 s. on average) comprised few strokes (4.0 shots per rally on average), each stroke performed every 1.7 s. (35.3 shots per min on average), with longer pauses in between rallies (11.6 s. on average) ( Zagatto et al, 2010 ; Leite et al, 2017 ). This sport includes a wide range of FH and backhand (BH) techniques performed at balls bounce in different playing surfaces over the table ( Munivrana et al, 2015a , b ). In addition, investigations show evidences the rally length is fairly consistent among players with different performance-level (3.2–3.6 s.) whereas rest period in between rallies is lower in regional players (7.0 s) than athletes at national (9.3 s) and elite (18.6 s) performance-level.…”

Purpose: This study aimed to develop a stroke effectiveness test in table tennis based on the temporal game structure to assess the ball speed and ball placement of the players, with a purpose to analyze its reproducibility and validity.Methods: Nineteen male table tennis players participated in this study. The test was performed twice during the first session and once during the second session to assess the intrasession and intersession reproducibility, respectively. Moreover, the test was examined on its ability to discriminate between regional (n = 10) and local performance-level (n = 9) players and on the relationship between the test results and the table tennis performance to assess the discriminant and concurrent validity, respectively. In general, the test consisted of 11 simulated rallies of 2–5 balls with the effort and rest ratio of 0.5, and focused on attack with offensive strokes at defensive balls delivered by a robot randomly between the left and right positions on the table.Results: Ball speed, ball placement, and ball speed-ball placement index showed satisfactory reliability (ICC range 0.78–0.96, P < 0.05) and agreement (CV range 2.7–16.2%) outcomes. Additionally, the Bland–Altman plots show the systematic error of the analyses closer to 0, and that most values were within the limits of agreements. Concerning validity analyses, regional players had higher scores of ball placement (+51.3%; P = 0.01, ES = 1.33) and ball speed-ball placement index (+56.1%; P = 0.0009, ES = 1.87) as well as made fewer errors (-25.4%; P = 0.017, ES = 1.20) than local players. Moreover, ball placement (r = -0.79, P = 0.04), ball speed-ball placement index (r = -0.78, P = 0.04), and percentage error (r = 0.88, P = 0.01) presented a strong and significant correlation with table tennis performance. However, ball speed was slightly different between the regional than local players (+1.7%; P = 0.78, ES = 0.13) and this variable was not related to table tennis performance (r = 0.32, P = 0.49).Conclusion: Our findings show evidences that the test is reproducible. Moreover, discriminant and concurrent validity are confirmed for ball placement and ball speed-ball placement index.

“…Although there are many different game styles, the dominance of the attack style was observed on the international level in the 2008 Olympic Games (Hua Hsu, 2010). In a recent study of the game styles of world-ranking top-level table tennis players, the attack gaming style was reported as having an important effect on athletes' match win rates (Munivrana et al, 2015). China, a country accepted as being at the top of this sport world-wide, exhibits its own different game strategies.…”

The aim of this present study was to examine the data on all active Turkish professional table tennis league athletes -their playing styles, the blades and types of rubber they use and their social, demographic and anthropomorphic particulars -and relate these measured parameters to the athletes' ranking points earned during a season. For the study, a data collection method based on measured parameters was designed in order to determine the relationship between the game profile and performance. The study group consisted of athletes of different nationalities in the 96 clubs in the 2014-2015 Turkish table tennis super, premier and minor leagues, 97% of whom participated in the study (n:294).In this study, significant differences in the measured parameters were determined among the leagues and correlations with the ranking data were found for some variables (P< 0.05). No significant correlation was observed between the ranking data and the age, height or weight of the players or the types of sports equipment they used, and no significant difference was detected among the leagues (p > 0.05). In reference to gender, the results showed that differences were present between the women's and men's leagues. The evaluation profile of all Turkish table tennis leagues in terms of quantity and quality revealed that some of the parameters measured in this work were associated with the ranking score. Determination of the factors that are effective or can be effective in increasing or decreasing this score can be considered useful for the improvement of performance.

“…e key performance indicators of badminton are mainly reflected in the use of court areas, stroke distribution, technical movements, and stroke effectiveness. Like tennis [5][6][7], squash [8][9][10], and table tennis [11][12][13], the key performance indicators are mainly reflected in tactics. A successful badminton matchup will hold the opponent in spatial pressure to hit the badminton to the opponent's most disadvantageous area.…”

Human pose estimation is an important task in physical education, which can provide a valuable reference for teachers and students. We propose a human pose estimation method based on part affinity field. Firstly, the correlation of position information and orientation information between limb regions is maintained by part affinity field. Then the key points of limb pose are localized by part confidence map, and finally, the part affinity field is integrated to correlate all the acquired feature key points to obtain the human pose estimation. With the aid of computer vision technology, the students’ training movements can be compared with the standard movements. It enables the students to feel the standard movements and badminton hitting points more intuitively. In the experiment, we set up a comparison experiment to compare the teaching mode of the method in this paper with the traditional teaching mode. The experimental results prove that through the teaching mode of our method, students have more standard strokes, more smooth skill switching between badminton serves and strokes, and higher badminton stroke scores. At the same time, such a teaching system adds a lot of fun to the course and makes the students’ participation higher.
