With the progress in improvements, there is also the need to characterize the athletes have physical skills to the game the objective of this study was to analyze the dermatoglífico profile of table tennis players by collecting the fingerprints. The sample was composed of 24 athletes, being 16 males with an average age of 27 ± 5.4 years; and 8 (eight) female with 23.2 ± 5.1 years, being all national level in Absolute category.

Analyzed from the first to the fifth national ranking there was more frequently in class II for the men, five athletes and four for women. In male athletes demonstrated that the higher the LONG QT (r = 0.78) worst placement in your ranking, the increase of the (Arcs) demonstrates better placement (r =-0.66). To the findings of female athletes has shown that the greater the amount of D10 worse your placement (r = 0.78) and the greater the presence of L (Barrettes) better your placement (r =-0.78), increases in W (werticilos) worsens your placement (r = 0.78). It can be concluded that athletes investigated have increased and coordination potencializavel force, being in class II of the somato-functional skills. It should be noted that these athletes do not occupy the best international placements for both globally or Olympian.
