Perceptual skills such as reaction time and anticipation are essential factors for the successful performance in daily activities, industry, art and sports. Perhaps the higher cognitive ability in dynamic and unpredictable environment likes table tennis can separate elite and non elite table tennis players. hence 80 table tennis players were divided into two same groups of 40 elite, sub-and 40 non elite table tennis players. reaction time tests( simple, choice and audio) and anticipation were assessedin both groups using reaction time system (Lafayette), and basin anticipatory time test(Lafayette). After assurance from normality using K-S test, t test analyses showed that difference between the perceptual skills is significant between two groups(p<0.05).
Conclusion: The results of the present study suggest that planning practice sessions should be designed that development of perceptual - motor skills such as reaction time and exact anticipation timing emphasized in table tennis players in addition to technical skills and physical fitness.
