The rotation speed of the ball spin has been considered a key factor in winning table tennis matches. This study quantified the rotation speed (rotations per second: rps) of service balls delivered by quarter-finalists in the 2009 World Table Tennis Championships. Ball services were recorded during the quarter-finals of both the men's and women's singles, involving 4 matches and 8 players per gender, using a high-speed video camera (1000 fps) for calculation of the rotation speed, and a standard video camera (30 fps) for distinguishing players and aces (including those touched by the receiver). Eventually, the rotation speeds of 329 services were calculated, and these ranged from 13.7 to 62.5 rps. For men, 50-60 rps was the most frequent (40.0%) range of the rotation speeds, while for women, the corresponding range was 40-50 rps (43.8%); the average (±SD) rotation speed was significantly greater for men than for women (46.0±9.0 vs. 39.2±9.3 rps, p<0.001). The fastest rotation speed was 62.5 rps for both genders. Chinese men produced a slower rotation speed than did other men (43.5±8.9 vs. 51.0±6.8 rps, p<0.001). For women, however, the rotation speed was similar between Chinese players and the others (39.9±10.2 vs. 38.5±8.2 rps). The rotation speeds of aces were scattered over a wide range of 37.0-58.8 rps for men and 27.8-62.5 rps for women, implying a weak association between aces and fast rotation. These pioneering data may help clarify some of the technical and tactical aspects of table tennis, and can be used to develop training and game strategies for successful performance.<br>

A notational analysis of 12,428 rallies in 149 singles matches at the London Olympic Games was conducted to clarify the characteristics of world-class rallies in table tennis. The number of shots played per rally, which was the sum of a correct service and correct returns, was measured. And the winning ratios of server and receiver were determined by the number of shots played per rally (Odd numbers indicate the server won the point, even numbers indicate the receiver won the point). The playing styles of the players were classified into all-round types and defensive types (chopper type), and the types of matches were classified into 3 by the combination of playing styles as: all-rounder vs. all-rounder (AA type), all-rounder vs. defensive (AD type) and defensive vs. defensive (DD type). The numbers of shots and the two ratios, and relations to both gender and type of match were considered. The DD type was excluded from this analysis because there were too few measured data. As a result, the mode of the number of shots for men and women was 3 each. The maximums for men and women were 38 and 60, respectively. The minimum for men and women were 0 each. The mean number of shots for women was significantly larger than that for men for AD type (p<0.01), and that for AD type was significantly larger than that for AA type for both men (p<0.01) and women (p<0.001). The mean winning ratios for servers for both men and women for AA type and AD type were all at the same level at about 55%, which were significantly higher than those for receivers of about 45% (p<0.01). Additionally, the evaluation criteria for the mean number of shots in a match, and those for the winning ratios of a server and a receiver were proposed. It was suggested that these results could be valuable for table tennis coaching.

The purpose of this study was to clarify practical knowledge of improving service skills to increase competitiveness level of table tennis players using sport sciences. The practice of sport science support has been ongoing for three years, focusing on players from 13 years to 18 years who belonged to the Japanese Olympic Committee elite academy team. Two experiments per year were conducted. A high-speed camera (1000Hz) was used to measure the rotation speed of the service ball and two normal speed cameras (30Hz) were used to measure players’ movements. A meeting was held on the day after each experiment to discuss the results, during which each player, his/her coach, and staff who analyzed the experimental data clarified the technical challenges for the player. 9 male players and 7 female players participated at least once in both the experiments and the meetings during the 3-year period. The main results were as follows. 1) Range of rotation speed for the male players’ services was from 35.7rps to 83.3rps, and that of the female players’ services was from 16.4rps to 66.7rps. No-spin services were not included in these
