Differences and similarities between table tennis and other racquet sports exist, but are not well documented in the literature, in spite of the relevance for talent identification. In this study we aimed at identifying the key characteristics of table tennis in comparison with tennis and badminton based upon a survey in coaches. A total of 177 licensed coaches from all across the world and with diverse professional backgrounds completed a survey on anthropometric measures, physical performance, and motor coordination skills. On a scale from 1 to 10, coaches indicated to what extent a talent characteristic was important for their sport. MANOVA identified key differences as well as similarities between all three racquet sports and a subsequent discriminant analysis allocated coaches correctly for table tennis, tennis, and badminton 81.01%, 55.6%, and 71.4% respectively. Our results show that table tennis and other racquet sport coaches are well aware of differences between the racquet sports and also the importance and value of testing and assortment of skill components. These findings can assist coaches in future talent orientation and transfer in racquet sports.
乒乓球与其他球拍类运动之间存在差异和相似之处，但相关文献对此并未进行很好的记录，尽管这对于人才识别很重要。在这项研究中，我们旨在根据教练的调查，确定乒乓球与网球和羽毛球相比的关键特征。共有来自世界各地、具有不同专业背景的 177 名持照教练完成了一项关于人体测量指标、身体表现和运动协调技能的调查。教练们在 1 到 10 的范围内，对一个人才特征对他们运动的重要程度进行了指示。MANOVA 确定了所有三种球拍运动之间的关键差异和相似之处，随后的判别分析分别将教练正确分配到乒乓球、网球和羽毛球领域，准确率为 81.01%、55.6%和 71.4%。我们的研究结果表明，乒乓球和其他球拍类运动的教练非常清楚球拍类运动之间的差异，也清楚测试和分类技能成分的重要性和价值。这些发现可以帮助教练在未来的人才选拔和球拍运动的人才转移中提供指导。
