“…By reviewing the literature, this paper found that only a few scholars have studied table tennis doubles and mixed doubles, most of which are the technical and tactical analysis of pairs of mixed doubles players. Although the evaluation methods of table tennis skills and tactics are increasing in the world [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], they are all based on the three-stage index evaluation method proposed by the Chinese scholar Wu Huanqun. In addition, there are some documents on the construction of other network projects, such as technical and tactical analysis models such as tennis [15][16][17][18][19].…”

Since the table tennis mixed doubles competition was officially listed as the Olympic Games, the players around the world paid more attention to the project. In this background, the 20 mixed doubles finals were used in the literature, video observation, and analysis of multiple regression. From the receiving point of view, the score difference between men and women is not very great, but female players may be more consistent. The contribution of male and female scores to the game is more effective than model 1 and model 2 for different rounds. Therefore, model 2 is more efficient in the analysis of high-level table tennis competitions. Multiple regression model can be used to analyze and predict table tennis singles, doubles, and mixed doubles games, which we will see more and more in future research results.

“…Since the 2000s, China has successfully organized two Olympic Games and various mega events within a condensed two-decade frame. High-specification sporting events are inseparable from high-quality sports management, which are complementary and necessitate substantial investment in the digitization of sporting facilities [ 34 ] and the organization of sporting events [ 35 ]. As an illustration, the main venue of the 14th National Games of China, serving as China’s first stadium with full 5G connectivity, is equipped with over 2,000 Wi-Fi 6 networks [ 36 ].…”

Objectives The development of the digital economy constitutes a key component of China’s endeavors to advance towards “Digital China.” The sports industry functions as a new catalyst for high-quality economic growth. This study systematically evaluated the integration between these two sectors. Methods First, we conducted two levels of grey relational analysis to assess their integration between 2016 and 2021. Second, we conducted a VAR analysis to determine whether their integration between 2009 and 2021 represents a causal relationship. Results At the macro level, the grey relational analysis reveals that the sports industry (grade = 0.770) ranked second among China’s eight key economic sectors in terms of digital economy integration. At the meso level, a wide variation (ranging from 0.606 to 0.789) existed in the grade of integration between the digital economy and the sub-sectors of the sports industry. According to the VAR model, the digital economy does not Granger cause (p = 0.344) the growth of the sports industry. Conclusions This study yielded two added values to the existing literature: First, there exists a sectoral imbalance in the digitization process; second, the explosive growth of the sports industry was not primarily caused by the digital economy. Accordingly, the “sports + digital” complex is still in the first wave of technological integration. We propose three policy recommendations, namely, sectoral synergistic development, overtaking via esports IP, and new economy and new regulation. Collectively, these findings provide updated insights for the digital transformation towards “building a leading sports nation” and “Digital China.”

“…[9][10][11][12] Numerous papers analyse how these digital tools impact the efficiency of sports organisations and their organisational structure. [13][14][15] And others are investigating how this technology and the data analysis it collects can be useful for improving players' physical and tactical performance, [16][17][18][19][20][21][22] the fan, athlete or student experience, 7,[23][24][25][26] or injury prevention and reduction. [27][28][29][30][31][32] Many of these analyses focus on showing the benefits of technology in competitive sports, in large and complex organisations and in large stadiums (arenas).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, has accelerated technological immersion into society, economy and public administrations. The sports organisations are no strangers to this digitisation and must carry out their own digital transformation. However, investment in digital technology must be preceded by a diagnosis of the technological needs of each sports entity. Said mapping will help organisations know the most appropriate technological tools for their core businesses so they can properly design their digital transformation strategies. The objectives of this study were to design and create a tool to understand the digital structure of Spanish sports. The result has been the configuration of an instrument that includes the description of different technologies and different digital competencies specific to the sports industry, and which allows individuals to know the use, importance, perceived difficulty of use and economic accessibility of available technologies, as well as the degree of developed competency in the different sports organisations. It is concluded that the creation and application of a consultation instrument on digitalisation is the first and necessary step to carry out relevant, in-depth, valid and replicable research, which allows information to be gathered on the digitalisation needs of sports organisations to design their digital transformation roadmap and that the aids for digital transformation is distributed efficiently.
