Conclusions
In conclusion, our research findings highlight that table tennis players, irrespective of their proficiency level, exhibit enhanced processing speed in visuospatial tasks compared to nonathletes. The study also sheds light on the neural underpinnings in table tennis players, with a particular emphasis on the augmented neural resource allocation. Regardless of task conditions, the observation of enhanced P3 amplitudes in athletes with higher skill levels, as compared to their lower-skilled counterparts, implies a more substantial allocation of neural resources during visuospatial tasks. Our findings provide substantial support for the broad transfer hypothesis, indicating that the skills acquired by table tennis players in their specialized sport may not only be confined to the sport itself but also potentially have a positive impact on visuospatial attention and memory performances.
