(Department of Physical Education,Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology,Nanjing 210044,China) Abstract: According to classification rules based on formal logic as well as the essential attribute of the table tennis event, the authors studied the technology classification system described in table tennis textbooks currently effective in China, and found the it had such problems as mismatching extensions, overlapping subitems, non-unified classification standards etc. Aiming at these problems existing in the currently effective classification system, and basing classifica-tion standards on “racket holding”, “rubber performance”, “physiological structure”, “ball hitting time” etc., the authors established a system of classification of technologies such as “transversal racket holding and vertical racket holding”, “reversely glued rubber, normally glued rubber, granule-free rubber, long-granule rubber”, “forehand and backhand”, “ball serving and ball returning” etc., thus forming a new table tennis technology classification system.
