Sažetak
In modern table tennis most international competitors favor the forehand top spin stroke as the most favorable attacking stroke, especially, on cut balls. Technically correct performance of top spin stroke is, of course dependable on the player's knowledge, his motor abilities, and his morphological characteristics. The purpose of our research was to find out if there are differences between top spin strokes with 38- and 40-mm ball, respectively. The comparison of selected kinematic parameters proved that differences in the amplitude of forehand stroke of the tested player increase due to increased ball size. The possible reason for the observed difference in technique is that the player uses more power in upper limb segments to produce the same velocity and rotation of the ball. High upward velocity would give the ball increased topspin to ensure that it would hit the opponent's side of the table. A possible means to achieve this goal is to improve his preparation for the stroke. The gathered data should facilitate planning of the training process of TT players and especially for promising young players.
