Purpose: The present study used the temporal and spatial occlusion paradigms to investigate the anticipation of landing direction of table tennis forehand strike in elite table tennis players. Methods: Thirty-four elite table tennis players (21.79±2.21 years) served as participants. An 120Hz high-speed camera was used and the films were edited into two sets of 60 Hz films. The first set (40 trials) included four types of temporal occlusions, 450 ms before stroke (T1), 225 ms before stroke (T2), till moment of stroke (T3), and 225 ms after the stroke (T4). The other set (50 trials) included five types of spatial occlusions, spatial occlusion of the ball (OB), the paddle (OP), the arms (OA), the trunk (OT), and the head (OH). Results: The percentage significance test showed that when landed at the right side of the table, participants were able to accurately anticipate the landing direction at T3, T4 and all five spatial occlusion conditions. When landed at the left side, they were able to accurately anticipate the landing direction at T2, T3, T4, OB, and OA, and OT. Two-way repeated measures ANOVA indicated significant interaction effects of the Landing direction×Temporal occlusion and the Landing direction×Spatial occlusion. The more accurate anticipation was accompanied with the longer temporal information; however, reverse accuracy of landing direction was shown at T2 and T3. In terms of spatial occlusion, the anticipatory accuracy of right side was higher than that of the left side at OP, OT, and OH. Conclusion: When landed at the left side of the table, the elite table tennis players could anticipate the ball direction earlier. The critical temporal and spatial information about forehand attack varies in different landing directions in elite table tennis players.
