TL-CStrans Net: a vision robot for table tennis player action recognition driven via CS-Transformer.

Currently, the application of robotics technology in sports training and competitions is rapidly increasing. Traditional methods mainly rely on image or video data, neglecting the effective utilization of textual information. To address this issue, we propose: TL-CStrans Net: A vision robot for table tennis player action recognition driven via CS-Transformer. This is a multimodal approach that combines CS-Transformer, CLIP, and transfer learning techniques to effectively integrate visual and textual information. Firstly, we employ the CS-Transformer model as the neural computing backbone. By utilizing the CS-Transformer, we can effectively process visual information extracted from table tennis game scenes, enabling accurate stroke recognition. Then, we introduce the CLIP model, which combines computer vision and natural language processing. CLIP allows us to jointly learn representations of images and text, thereby aligning the visual and textual modalities. Finally, to reduce training and computational requirements, we leverage pre-trained CS-Transformer and CLIP models through transfer learning, which have already acquired knowledge from relevant domains, and apply them to table tennis stroke recognition tasks. Experimental results demonstrate the outstanding performance of TL-CStrans Net in table tennis stroke recognition. Our research is of significant importance in promoting the application of multimodal robotics technology in the field of sports and bridging the gap between neural computing, computer vision, and neuroscience.

This study explores the comprehensive understanding of taekwondo, the application of fourth industrial revolution technologies in various kinds of sports, the development of taekwondo through artificial intelligence (AI), and essential technology in the fourth industrial revolution while suggesting advanced science directions through a literature review. Literature was sourced from six internet search electronic databases, consisting of three English databases and three Korean databases, from January 2016 to August 2023. The literature indicated cases of sports convergence with the application of fourth industrial revolution technologies, such as the game of go, golf, table tennis, soccer, American football, skiing, archery, and fencing. These sports not only use big data but also virtual reality and augmented reality. Taekwondo is a traditional martial art that originated in Republic of Korea and gradually became a globally recognized sport. Since taekwondo’s competition analysis is an analysis in which researchers manually write events, it takes a very long time to analyze, and the scale of the analysis varies depending on the researcher’s tendencies. This study presented the development of an AI Taekwondo performance improvement analysis and evaluation system and a metaverse-based virtual Taekwondo pumsae/fighting coaching platform through an AI-based motion tracking analysis method.

The basics of theory and methods of mastering the game of table tennis in the classroom physical education of students

How to master the game of table tennis in physical education classes. At the beginning of your classes, you need to get acquainted with how the racket interacts with the ball, "feel" the racket and the ball, learn to control its flight in different ways, master the basic striking movements, master the orientation of the torso, arms, legs and racket in space, etc.
 Purpose: to analyze the essence and significance of the stages of table tennis training in physical education classes: (special physical training; technical training, techniques; tactical training; psychological training).It is important to learn how to hold the racket correctly and perform various exercises with the racket and ball off the table, as this will help you master the technique of the game faster. In this case, it is recommended to use the following exercises: moving around the court, holding the ball on the racket and watching the grip, rolling the ball on the racket from one edge to the other or in a circle, repeatedly hitting the ball with different sides of the racket from the bottom up or alternately with one and the other side of the racket, strive to keep the ball from falling to the ground as long as possible (should be performed both in place and in motion); driving the ball with the racket, hitting the floor (dribbling), in the player's stance on the spot or in motion; to give the ball rotation with both sides of the racket in different directions: from the body to the right or left; to hit the ball with a racket to different heights in turn - high bounce, low bounce; crouching and standing up, to hit the ball: hit - crouch, hit again - stand up.
 When playing on the table, you need to pay attention to the correctness of your movements. The basics of the technique can be properly mastered and consolidated only with repeated repetition of technical elements in a game environment on the table, and the prerequisites for this are practicing the technique with the help of imitation exercises. In the future, a lot depends on coordination of movements, musculoskeletal sensitivity, attentiveness, reaction speed, as well as the level of development of such qualities as endurance, perseverance, dedication and efficiency.

Location-based electrotactile feedback localizes hitting point in virtual-reality table tennis game.

Learning new motor skills is often challenged by sensory mismatches. For reliable sensory information, people have actively employed sensory intervention methods. Visual assistance is the most popular method to provide sensory information, which is equivalent to the knowledge of performance (KP) in motor tasks. However, its efficacy is questionable because of visual-proprioceptive mismatch as well as heavy intrinsic visual and cognitive engagement in motor tasks. Electrotactile intervention is a promising technique to address the current limitations, as it provides KP using tactile feedback that has a close neurophysiological association with proprioception. To test its efficacy, we compared the effects of visual and electrotactile assistance on hitting point localization of the table-tennis racket during virtual-reality table-tennis game. Experimental results suggest that location-based electrotactile feedback outperforms visual assistance in localizing the hitting point on a table-tennis racket during virtual-reality table-tennis game. Our study showed the potential of electrotactile intervention for improving the efficacy of new motor skill training.

Evaluation of a School‐Based Attention Training Program for Improving Sustained Attention

ABSTRACTThis study evaluated the impact of a theory‐driven cognitive attention training program, Keeping Score!, in improving students' sustained attention capacity. Training was based on sustained updating. Students engaged this process by mentally keeping score during an interactive game of table tennis without external aids. Students (9–11 years) were assigned to a 6‐week training program (n = 18) or an active control (n = 18). Assessments of sustained attention/working memory and parent ratings of executive function were completed at pretraining, post‐training, and 6‐week follow‐up. We found no evidence to support the efficacy of training (i.e., there was no statistically significant time × group interaction effects for any outcome). Overall, these findings add to the mixed body of literature supporting the efficacy of cognitive attention training for improving children's attentional capacity. One possibility for why the training program was unsuccessful is perhaps that cognitive attention training may not be sufficient for enhancing sustained attention.

Auditory sensory augmentation to support table tennis games for people with vision loss

People with vision loss often face limitations in regular sports games with standard rules and equipment. For example, in current blind table tennis, conventional rules are modified so that the ball rolls along the table instead of bouncing. In this work, we propose an auditory sensory augmentation system to support traditional table tennis in three dimensions. We capture the trajectory of the table tennis ball using two neuromorphic event cameras and sonify the path of the ball using loudspeakers mounted near the left and right edges of the playing table. The two event cameras capture rapid changes in brightness allowing fast and precise ball tracking. The ball's 3D trajectory is then sonified using four lines of loudspeakers mounted at two different heights near the left and right edges of the playing table. We present a preliminary implementation and investigation of the proposed sensory augmentation system with a focus on the technical and perceptual challenges.

Pengaruh Model Pembelajaran TGT (Teams Games Tournament) Terhadap Hasil Belajar Tenis Meja

The success of the learning process depends on the educator, where an educator plays an important role in the learning process. The learning paradigm so far considers the learning process only centered on educators. Along with the development of the world of education, this paradigm changes to a learning process that is no longer teacher-centered, but student-centered. One way to solve this problem is to use instructional media that are appropriate to the characteristics of students. This study aims to determine the effect of learning media on the learning outcomes of forehand strokes in table tennis games. The method used in this research is quasi-experimental research with one group pretest posttest design.

BDTA: events classification in table tennis sport using scaled-YOLOv4 framework

Computer vision algorithms based on deep learning have evolved to play a major role in sports analytics. Nevertheless, in sports like table tennis, detecting the ball is a challenge as the ball travels at a high velocity. However, the events in table tennis games can be detected and classified by obtaining the locations of the ball. Therefore, existing methodologies predict the trajectories of the ball but do not detect and classify the in-game events. This paper, therefore, proposes a ball detection and trajectory analysis (BDTA) approach to detect the location of the ball and predict the trajectory to classify events in a table tennis game. The proposed methodology is composed of two parts: i) Scaled-YOLOv4 which can detect the precise position of the ball ii) Analysis of trajectory based on ball coordinates to detect and classify the events. The dataset was prepared and labeled as a ball after enhancing the frame resolution with a super-resolution technique to get the accurate position of the ball. The proposed approach demonstrates 97.8% precision and 98.1% f1-score in detecting the location of the ball and 97.47% precision and achieved 97.8% f-score in classifying in-game events.
