A Pilot Investigation into a Measure of Table Tennis Movement Efficiency using Kinetic Data

Abstract

The objective of this pilot investigation was to attempt to develop a movement efficiency score from a mathematical equation using force plate data captured during an alternating forehand-backhand rally involving lateral movements at the base of the table. The resultant movement efficiency score could be useful for objectively tracking skill development/efficiency in players and monitoring the effectiveness of coach/scientist intervention.
