The Assessment of the Attack Finalized with Topspin-Retopspin in Female Junior Table Tennis

Abstract

In current table tennis, the attack is the main source of winning the points in the sets, the topspin and retopspin technical-tactical procedures being responsible not only for initiation and counterattack, but also for finishing, being ubiquitous in the technical expression of both offensive and defensive players. The assessment of these attack elements is an objective way of highlighting the progress made by the
sportswomen while preparing for the competition calendar, the used tests being able to reflect the level of consolidation achieved in the execution of the two strikes.
Goal: Establishing a set of tests for the technical / tactical assessment and for evaluating the movement capabilities specific to the attack completed with topspin and retopspin. Hypothesis: Knowing the level of consolidation of the topspin-retopspin attack, we will be able to check the appropriateness of the methodological strategies applied to make efficient the attack finalized this way. Objectives: to verify the appropriateness of using certain tests in the assessment of topspin and retopsin in this age group.
