Abstract
Research on flight characteristics and rotational characteristics, which are technical and tactical elements of table tennis competition, is underway, but research on ball distribution characteristics is not very advanced. In this study, we analyzed 14 matches for a male college student with a right-handed shake hand attack, clarified the ball distribution that affects the point, and used it for improving player’s performance and planning of training. The purpose was to examine whether it was possible. The method uses six ultrasonic sensors and a digital video camera to collect the binding position of the ball during the match and perform ABC analysis and correspondence analysis. As a result, the ABC analysis revealed the ball distribution that affects the score of the target players and the ball distribution that is an issue, suggesting that it can be used for tactical changes and making new plans for athlete training. Correspondence analysis created a two-dimensional map obtained from the ball distribution data, and it became clear that the ball distribution that has a strong relationship with the opponent can be visually grasped. For future tasks, it is desirable to analyze by adding factors such as the direction of rotation and the striking method, and to verify whether it is possible to analyze the game in detail.
