ABSTRACT
The purpose of our study is to determine what characterises the efficiency of a player in table tennis. The first term which comes to mind is ‘complexity’: complexity in the management of the ball-bat contact (Bootsma and Van Wieringen, 1990), complexity in the effort management and complexity on the mental load (Baron et al., 1992). In other words, the complexity of the table tennis activity lies in the need for intercepting and returning balls as fast and as precisely as possible, while ensuring varied and fast displacements and choosing the best strategy to win the rally.
