Kinetic analysis of efficient energy conversion in table tennis sports

Abstract Improving the accuracy and stability of players’ stroke speed and stroke landing point and maximizing the energy conversion have become important tasks in table tennis skill practice. This paper analyzes the forces during ball collision and the energy conversion law of its motion state and proposes to measure and identify the key mechanical parameters of table tennis motion from the aspects of batting speed, rotation, and batting angle. The 3D coordinates of the ball are reconstructed, and the parameters are measured in the translational and rotational states of the ball, respectively. The UKF state estimator is used to construct the system process equations of the table tennis ball motion model, and the mathematical expressions are further derived to obtain the kinematic-based post-collision trajectory prediction model of the table tennis ball. The accuracy of the model in predicting the trajectory of the table tennis ball movement is evaluated by the distribution of the error points of the collision points of the table tennis ball, and it is known through experiments that the range of the error of the collision point prediction of the table tennis ball by the method used in this paper is in the range of (x±0.05, y±0.05) m, which is smaller than that estimated by the traditional table tennis ball physical model, and the model’s prediction accuracy is good. After analyzing the motion trajectories with different angular velocities, drag coefficients, initial velocities, and exit angles, the optimal hitting speed of a curved circle ball is obtained as V=15m/s.

How to reduce anxiety symptoms through individual sport in youth: A longitudinal study over 8-month observation.

Anxiety symptoms are widely observed among the youth, and engagement in sports has been demonstrated to mitigate these symptoms. Nonetheless, the effectiveness of specific sports and the potential moderating role of psychological factors, such as self-esteem and self-efficacy, on the influence of sports on anxiety, remains to be elucidated. This study was designed to longitudinally assess the impact of sports participation on anxiety symptoms among young individuals. The study encompassed 163 university students, with a male predominance of 81.6%, and explored the influence of sport-related factors (such as mastery of table tennis skills, level and engagement) and psychological aspects (including self-efficacy, self-esteem and resilience) on anxiety symptoms, employing an 8-month longitudinal approach. Physical activity, sedentary and sleep behaviour, along with age, body mass index (BMI), and sex, were accounted for as confounding variables. The study found that high table tennis performance score was found to buffer the development of anxiety symptoms in students with decreased self-esteem in an exploratory moderation model. Self-esteem and self-efficacy were negatively associated with the development of anxiety symptoms, whereas physical activity factors did not have a direct effect. This study highlights the potential of table tennis as a form of sport to alleviate anxiety symptoms in university students, particularly among those with decreased self-esteem. Future research should address the study's limitations and explore the potential moderating effects of other psychological factors. Overall, these findings suggest a potential new approach to treating anxiety symptoms among university students.

Development of tennis skills training based on trainer model for beginner athletes

Mastery of skills in tennis is very important to master for tennis players, especially beginner tennis players who need a lot of practice time to master the skills. Currently, tennis players only have a little time to practice, given the short duration of training with a coach. A training model that can improve beginners' mastery of tennis skills is needed. This study aimed to determine the success and effectiveness of the court tennis coach model developed for novice tennis players to improve their skills. The research method used in this study is research and development (R&D). The subjects in this study were divided into 2 stages, a small experimental stage of 15 athletes and a large trial stage of 40 athletes. The instrument in this study used a tennis dyer test. Based on the results of the assessment of sports equipment development materials, tennis coaches who are competent in their fields and sports test and measurement experts in the study "Development of coach-based tennis skills training for novice athletes" stated that the quality of assistive devices is categorized as "good" for use. Based on the paired sample t-test in this study, it is known that the Sig value (2-tailed) is 0.000, which means less than 0.05 or 0.000 < 0.05. Then, there is a real difference between the pre-test and post-test dyer tennis test data for beginner court tennis athletes. The developed model of court tennis coaches is effective for novice field tennis athletes.

Self-Controlled Video Feedback Facilitates the Learning of Tactical Skills in Tennis

ABSTRACT Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effect of self-controlled video feedback on the learning of tactical motor skills in tennis, and additionally, whether this was affected by learners’ self-efficacy and self-regulative skills. Method: Twenty-three intermediately skilled tennis players were assigned to either a self-controlled group that was provided video feedback on request or a yoked group that received an identical, externally controlled video feedback schedule. In three training sessions participants practiced serve and volley play. Video feedback with attentional cueing and transitional statements that focused solely on individual tactical gameplay was provided by a licensed tennis coach. Individual tactical performance was measured with a custom designed Tactical Tennis Tool (TTT) in a pretest, posttest and in a one-week retention test. Before each test self-efficacy was measured, and a questionnaire was administered to measure self-regulative skills. Results: Analyses revealed significantly larger improvements in tactical performance relative to the pretest for the self-controlled group than for the yoked group in both the posttest and the one-week retention test. No differences were found in self-efficacy. Finally, the improvements in tactical performance were not predicted by self-efficacy and/or self-regulative skills. Conclusion: The advantage of self-controlled video feedback extends to the learning of a complex tactical task in tennis. Future research should verify the observed benefits of a self-controlled learning environment in comparison to a coach-controlled learning environment.

An ecological study protocol for the multimodal investigation of the neurophysiological underpinnings of dyadic joint action.

A novel multimodal experimental setup and dyadic study protocol were designed to investigate the neurophysiological underpinnings of joint action through the synchronous acquisition of EEG, ECG, EMG, respiration and kinematic data from two individuals engaged in ecologic and naturalistic cooperative and competitive joint actions involving face-to-face real-time and real-space coordinated full body movements. Such studies are still missing because of difficulties encountered in recording reliable neurophysiological signals during gross body movements, in synchronizing multiple devices, and in defining suitable study protocols. The multimodal experimental setup includes the synchronous recording of EEG, ECG, EMG, respiration and kinematic signals of both individuals via two EEG amplifiers and a motion capture system that are synchronized via a single-board microcomputer and custom Python scripts. EEG is recorded using new dry sports electrode caps. The novel study protocol is designed to best exploit the multimodal data acquisitions. Table tennis is the dyadic motor task: it allows naturalistic and face-to-face interpersonal interactions, free in-time and in-space full body movement coordination, cooperative and competitive joint actions, and two task difficulty levels to mimic changing external conditions. Recording conditions-including minimum table tennis rally duration, sampling rate of kinematic data, total duration of neurophysiological recordings-were defined according to the requirements of a multilevel analytical approach including a neural level (hyperbrain functional connectivity, Graph Theoretical measures and Microstate analysis), a cognitive-behavioral level (integrated analysis of neural and kinematic data), and a social level (extending Network Physiology to neurophysiological data recorded from two interacting individuals). Four practical tests for table tennis skills were defined to select the study population, permitting to skill-match the dyad members and to form two groups of higher and lower skilled dyads to explore the influence of skill level on joint action performance. Psychometric instruments are included to assess personality traits and support interpretation of results. Studying joint action with our proposed protocol can advance the understanding of the neurophysiological mechanisms sustaining daily life joint actions and could help defining systems to predict cooperative or competitive behaviors before being overtly expressed, particularly useful in real-life contexts where social behavior is a main feature.

The effect of internal and external focus of attention on tennis skill acquisition in children.

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of internal and external focus attention instructions on learning the tennis groundstroke (forehand-backhand drive) for children. A total of 60 (30 girls, 30 boys) children aged 10.24 ± 0.48 years were included in the study. Children were randomly divided into three groups: External Focused Group (EFG), Internal Focused Group (IFG), and Control Group (CG). In the pre-training tests of tennis skill (TST) and tennis transfer (TTT), there was no significant difference between the three groups (EFG, IFG, and CG) according to one-way ANOVA results (p > 0.05). Significant interaction was determined between groups and measurements in a repeated-measures ANOVA analysis (three groups, three measurements) and TST and TTT (p < 0.01). According to the post-hoc analysis, it was determined that the TST results increased significantly in the EFG compared to the IFG and CG, and there was no significant difference in the TTT between the EFG and IFG, but both groups showed significant improvements compared to the CG. Instructions to children to focus attention externally facilitate learning the groundstroke (forehand-backhand) technique, which is one of the basic tennis techniques.
