The purpose of the study were to analyze Taiwan female table tennis player's dermatoglyphics, to compare the characteristics of custom hands with that of not custom hands, to find out the dermatoglyphics indicators that might influence motor capacity, and furthermore to compare various level players' dermatoglyphics characteristics. The most important of all, the researcher hopes these findings can be used as good reference in player-selecting. The subjects of this study were 22 female table tennis players (average age: 17.95 year) from "Chinese Petroleum Corp." Their motor capacity, the quantification indicator of this study, were derived from their performance and achievement during their summer training program in 1997. The study reaches the following conclusion: 1. Through descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation), the study shows that there are most players with loop type finger print, whorl type the second, and arch type the last; and that compared with a non-player, a player has a lower a-b ridge count in her plam print, but a higher atd angle count and t distance ratio. 2. With pearson product-moment correlation to examine the characteristics of custom hands and not custom hands, the study finds that atd angle count, a-b ridge count and t distance ratio are all reach significance difference. 3. Atd angle count is the most important indicator of motor capacity. 4. Different level players (among the 22 players, 8 are national players, the others are lower non-national players). They have different characteristics: Based on the t test of independent, the finding is that national players' custom hands have a obviously smaller atd angle (40□ 88') than the non-national players' (44□ 86'); and on a overall dermatoglyphics characteristic evaluation scale. The better skill a player has, the higher scale point she stands on.
