Stereopsis and Response Times between Collegiate Table Tennis Athletes and Non-Athletes
Table tennis athletes and non-athletes potentially differ in stereopsis and eye–hand response times (RT), but whether stereopsis correlates with response time has scarcely been discussed. We aimed to compare stereopsis and RT between collegiate table tennis athletes and non-athletes and to examine t...

We aimed to compare stereopsis and RT between collegiate table tennis athletes and non-athletes and to examine the correlation between stereopsis and RT. From December 2016 to October 2019, table tennis athletes (<i>n</i> = 80) and non-athletes (<i>n</i> = 56) were recruited. Stereopsis was measured in four modes (A25, A50, R25, R50: approaching and receding directions at 25 mm/s or 50 mm/s). RT was measured with simple and choice tasks at zero, shoulder, and random distance. For stereopsis, the judged deviations were smaller during the approaching phases. Men had smaller A25 than women (<i>p</i> =0.012), whereas table tennis athletes showed smaller R25 and A50 than non-athletes (<i>p</i> = 0.03, 0.01, respectively). RT increased from simple to choice conditions and from zero to random, followed by shoulder distance. Men were significantly faster than women in choice tasks (<i>p</i> < 0.01). Table tennis athletes performed better in RT than the non-athletes (<i>p</i> < 0.05). No correlation was observed between stereopsis and RT (<i>r</i> = −0.01 to 0.12). In conclusion, athletes from table tennis sports showed better stereopsis and RT than non-athletes. Men had better stereopsis and RT than women. There was no correlation between stereopsis and RT.https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/18/12/6287table tennisathletesstereopsiseye–hand response time |

Table tennis athletes and non-athletes potentially differ in stereopsis and eye–hand response times (RT), but whether stereopsis correlates with response time has scarcely been discussed.
