“…Table tennis is considered an aerobic dominant sport with the anaerobic alactic system playing a significant role during the rallies [10,12,37]. The findings from this study are consistent with the literature [9][10][11][12][13]37], wherein the percentage of energy contributions of E AER , E BLC , and E ALA range from 79.4-85.2%, 0.6-2.1%, and 12.9-20.0%, respectively, in this study (Table 2). However, in simulated matches, Zagatto et al found different percentages for E AER , E BLC , and E ALA of 96.5%, 1.0%, and 2.5%, respectively [10].…”

“…However, the contribution of each pathway is unclear for specific table tennis skills. Previous studies have explored the energetic profile of table tennis in training and simulated matches [9][10][11][12][13] with findings consistently showing an aerobic-dominant profile. However, the energetic profile in table tennis may be influenced by different physical loads placed on the players such as different footwork, stroke types, and stroke frequencies.…”

The forehand loop drive is one of the primary attacking techniques in table tennis and is practiced at a large volume during training. The aim of this study was to investigate the energetic profile of the high-repetition forehand loop drive practice in table tennis. Twenty-six well-trained, young table tennis players performed a treadmill graded exercise test to determine their peak oxygen uptake as a measure of overall cardiorespiratory fitness and an incremental table tennis stroke test with 3-min intervals during the forehand loop drive with a ball-throwing robot at a frequency of 35 to 85 strokes∙min−1. Pulmonary and blood parameters were measured and analyzed with a portable spirometry system and a blood lactate analyzer. Energy contributions were calculated from aerobic, anaerobic lactic, and anaerobic alactic pathways for each stroke frequency. Energy cost was defined as the amount of energy expended above resting levels for one stroke. Repeated-measures analyses of variance (ANOVA) with the stroke frequency (35,45,55,65,75, or 85 strokes/min−1) as a within-subject factor were performed for the dependent variables. A Power regression was performed for the energy cost as a function of the stroke frequency. Findings demonstrated a function of Y = 91.566·x−0.601 where Y is the energy cost and x is the stroke frequency, R2 = 0.9538. The energy cost decreased at higher stroke frequencies. The energy contributions from aerobic, anaerobic lactic, and anaerobic alactic pathways at each stroke frequency ranged from 79.4%–85.2%, 0.6%–2.1%, and 12.9%–20.0%, respectively. In conclusion, the energy cost of the forehand loop drive decreased at higher stroke frequencies. The high-repetition forehand loop drive practice was aerobic dominant and the anaerobic alactic system played a vital role.

“…Three objectives of performance analysis are relevant to the study of young table tennis players. Technique analysis is concerned with the mechanical aspects of technique and how skills translate into performance [ 4 , 19 , 20 ]. Tactical analysis is concerned with strategies and tactical decisions that are manifested in a game [ 21 , 22 ].…”

The purpose of the study was to assess the association between physical fitness and the lifestyle determinants of elite junior table tennis players. The basic anthropometric characteristics (body height and body weight) were collected of 87 Polish table tennis players (girls, n = 38 and boys, n = 49, at different stages of sport training, targeted and specialized) aged 11–17 years. The level of special fitness tests from the Table Tennis Specific Battery Test were used, assessing reaction speed and displacement speed. All eight International Physical Fitness Test trials were also used to determine the level of general fitness of the participants. Selected questions from the Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children questionnaire were asked to measure factors associated with leisure time. The findings confirm a relationship between sedentary forms of leisure time activity and the training of young players at the targeted stage (Z = −2.93, p = 0.003 school days and Z = −2.12, p = 0.034 days off). Moreover, competitors with longer training experience more often chose active forms of spending free time. Knowledge of the global physical activity undertaken by young athletes during their leisure time provides a better understanding of their individual needs and may help young table tennis players to succeed at a world-class level in the future.

Abstract Background: This study aimed to determine what factors influence the level of physical fitness of young athletes. Its purpose was therefore to assess the association between physical fitness and objectively measure the lifestyle determinants of elite junior table tennis players. Methods: The basic anthropometric characteristics (body height and body weight) were collected of 87 Polish table tennis players (girls and boys, at different stages of sport training) aged 9–12 years. The level of special fitness tests from the Table Tennis Specific Battery Test were used, assessing reaction speed and displacement speed. All eight International Physical Fitness Test trials were also used to determine the level of general fitness of the participants. Selected questions from the Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children questionnaire were asked to measure factors associated with leisure time. Results: The findings confirm a relationship between sedentary forms of leisure time activity and the training of young players being at the targeted stage. Moreover, competitors with longer training experience more often chose active forms of spending free time. Conclusion: Knowledge of the global physical activity undertaken by young athletes during their leisure time provides a better understanding of their individual needs, and may help young table tennis players to succeed at a world-class level in the future.
