- Abstract
Table tennis has undergone an important transformation over the last two decades. These changes have represented an evolution towards a more dynamic and modern table tennis. Extensive sport science research describe the men's table tennis sportive effort and game dynamic. However, there is often a huge lack of knowledge about the game structure and the impact of practicing this sport on women. The purpose of this study was the both genders' physiological and metabolic response analysis as well as the current table tennis playing structure analysis. A sample of 48 elite players (24 men players and 24 female players) participated in a simulated competition with the aim to assess cardiac response, lactate levels, and different structural parameters of play. There were differences between male and female play in the minimum (p<0.004) and maximum (p<0.001) cardiac records, in lactate levels (p<0.001), in the game times (p<0,01) and in the number of hits made per move (p<0.01). Table tennis is characterized by performing submaximal efforts, great cardiac variability, and a predominantly anaerobic-lactic metabolism in both genders. The development of men's game is faster and more intense than the women game competition which is characterized by a greater number of strokes per play. Further research of playing styles and playing materials used by the analyzed athletes is needed. This study is a pioneering research in women's table tennis and hence of current significant relevance and greatest interest by describing the sportive effort and the game dynamics that characterize it.
