Abstract:

Objective: To conduct a biomechanical analysis of backhand curve ball techniques. Methods: To analyze the technical movements of backhand forward curve ball, backhand spin curve ball, backhand quick tear curve ball and push and block techniques. Results: 1. The racket-drawing phase includes stance, elbow position, forearm extension, wrist extension, racket face angle, grip, waist rotation, and center of gravity application. 2. Backhand arcing shots use the elbow joint as the axis, with the forearm swinging rapidly upward and forward, while simultaneously pushing the foot's center of gravity upward to assist in generating power. 3. Forehand arcing shots emphasize forearm and wrist power, driven by waist rotation, while simultaneously pushing the foot's center of gravity upward. Conclusion: Every table tennis player should master the basic movements and at the same time find the best way to hit the ball according to their physical condition, so as to bring out their best curve ball technique.
