Different Techniques Comparison in Biomechanical Analysis of Ping Pong

Abstract

Ping Pong has been considered as one of the most popular sports in the world. Fast break and curving ball technology is this game’s core technology, it will be very important to deeply understand this through biomechanical study. In this research, we based on fast break and curving ball features of kinematic to reveal the table tennis forehand techniques. High speed motion analysis was recorded from eight male subjects. The action was divided into three major phases: back swing, attack and follow through. At the end of back swing stage, break and curl technologies, the speed parameter shows some differences. While the fastest speed in ball contact frame, the speed of curling ball was significantly higher than the fast break. Further study could be carried out in detailing analysis at sub-stage of the action for integral considering.
