Investigation and Analysis of Disabled People’s Participation in Table Tennis in Panjin City

Abstract

Using methods such as literature review, questionnaires, mathematical statistics, and logical analysis, this study examines the current state of disabled individuals participating in table tennis at the Auxing, Kirin Table Tennis Club, and Xingfu Table Tennis Community in Panjin City. The findings indicate an imbalance in the gender distribution of participants, with the majority of disabled individuals being young. Additionally, the duration and frequency of participation are relatively low. These individuals primarily receive training through specialized group table tennis clubs and the activity centers of the Disabled Federation, often guided by full-time coaches. However, the participation rate and competitive level remain low, with average results in terms of awards. Key factors influencing the involvement of disabled people in table tennis in Panjin City include venue facilities, organizational management, economic burdens, and a shortage of qualified instructors. Consequently, this research proposes several recommendations to enhance venue facilities, reinforce organizational support, and optimize the allocation of instructors to promote the development of table tennis for the disabled population.
