  • Computer supported system for the evaluation of fitness of Slovenian youth table tennis players
    Kondrič, Miran, 1960- ; Leskošek, Bojan
    The aim of this paper is to describe the possibility of using computer software for the evaluation of fitness of Slovenian junior table tennis players. A SMMS (Sport Measurement Management System) ... has been used to determine the optimal morphological and motoric condition for table tennis players. In our case, 36 best male and female junior players in Slovenia were submitted to several morphological and motoric tests. Within different measurements, we can observe the condition of the player. We also discuss the importance of the test in determining the level of a playerćs predispositions (talent) for table tennis and in evaluating the readiness of the sportsmen or of the effectiveness of their training. In the second part of the paper there is an overall presentation of the SMMS program, the hardware and software requirements for its use, its database and a number of presentations and reports on its applications in table tennis. If we compare the data with the juniors in other racket sports, we can see that there is considerable potential in the motoric status of Slovenian table tennis players. Especially important are the longitudinal data on this status and evaluation of the results gained in a longer period of time. This information is necessary for good planning of the training process and its connection with the morphological status of a player. With the SMMS program, table tennis coaches can regularly follow the results of morphological and motoric measurements on the one hand, while on the other hand they can obtain an analysis of the results and an evaluation based on different models (Y-value and ND-models).
