TABLE TENNIS
Table tennis, also called ping pong, is a sport that originated in the Victorian
period in England. High-class people used to play table tennis after dinner. It was
initially played by stacking books at the center of a table and hitting a golf ball with
thick books. Table tennis needs a lot of attention and speed.
Professional table tennis is played on a hard table which is divided by a net. Players
stand opposite to each other, and hit a lightweight ball with a small round bat across the
table. Spinning the ball makes the chances of hitting the ball a lot less. So, players tend to
spin the ball before serving it to the opponent.
Table tennis is played as singles as well as doubles. It is played in both men’s and
women’s category. Table tennis is played by the rules set by the International Table Tennis
Federation (ITTF).

BIG IDEA
The first paddle was the back of a cigar box, and
the first net was a stack of books. Surprisingly the
first ball was a champagne cork.
WHAT IS IT
Like most other sports, table tennis had humble beginnings as a “parlor game”,” open to
anyone with access to a table, paddle, and ball. The game began in the 1880s, when lawn
tennis players adapted their game to play indoors during the winter.
Ping-Pong is a trademark name for table tennis and associated equipment. The name ping-
pong was invented by English firm J. Jaques and son at the end of 1800s and later
trademarked in the United States by Parker Brothers, the board game company.
It may surprise many people to hear that table tennis can be a very physically demanding
sport. Anaerobic fitness is needed during strenuous rallies in which rapid movements are
repeated in a short time period, while a good level of aerobic fitness is required to keep up the
intensity over long match or several matches during a day.
Shots and Spins in Table Tennis
Strength of shot plays an important role in table tennis, but the key in the modern game is
spin. The ball is so light that almost anyone can make it rotate in the air and so bounce in an
unpredictable way on the receiver’s side; the skill is to conceal the amount and type of spin
used.
Backspin is applied by
hitting through and under the
ball with the lower part of
BACKSPIN the bat angled ahead of the
upper section. The aim is to
make the ball slow down and
“die” (bounce as little as
possible) on contact with the
table.
5 tips to improve your Table Tennis Fitness and train like an Athlete!
Designing a fitness programmed for table tennis is just the same as designing a fitness
programmed for other sport. First, you need to decide the specific type of fitness required.
You need to address the following questions:
1. What are the main muscles used?
2. What type of movements are used?
3. Which energy system is used?
4. Which muscle fibre type is used?
5. What stage of the season is it?
To combat these, here are 5 tips that will help you make your table tennis fitness training
more relevant and specific to sport.
Short Sprints
Break your running distance down
into short sprints of 10,20,30, and 40
meters. Repeat these sprints several
times and allow plenty of time to
recover in-between bouts.
Mental preparation
The mental aspects of table tennis play an important role in overall profile of a performer so
it is important to develop the whole player. This psychological element is possibly the
single most difficult factor for coaches, teachers and performers to control and improve.
Most players and teachers/coaches do regard the psychological side of playing table tennis as
important, (hence such statements as “It’s all in the head” or “You’ve got to get psyched up
for this one”) and there are a wide range of psychological techniques that can be employed to
boost performance both in training an within the competition cycle in the pre, during and post
phase. According to English Table Tennis Association, the following are list of some specific
psychological skills related to the areas of performance to which they are most applicable:
