Table tennis and Lifelong Fitness
INTRODUCTION
Table tennis is a high-intensity sport that demands multidimensional fitness
components, including explosive power, agility, and endurance. Physical training plays a
crucial role in enhancing table tennis players' performance by improving energy delivery
systems and physical quality. For the elderly, table tennis offers benefits such as
coordination, agility, and balance, promoting physical and functional fitness. Specialized
training programs can significantly improve athletes' reflex ability, speed, endurance,
strength, coordination, and flexibility, essential for maintaining a high technical level and
preventing injuries in table tennis players. Chinese athletes, especially females, exhibit
superior performance in table tennis, emphasizing the importance of aerobic energy
combined with anaerobic exercises for optimal competition results. Overall, table tennis
serves as an excellent lifelong fitness activity, enhancing various physical and cognitive
abilities across different age groups.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Describe the concept of playing table tennis
2. Identify the benefits of playing table tennis and its significance in promoting physical
fitness and creative expression
3. Appreciate the importance of the sport skills used and related to fitness

land it on the opponent's table and earn a point. The fundamental locomotor skills in table
tennis encompass sprinting, galloping, sliding, leaping, swinging, striking, and swaying.
Active engagement in various sporting activities can lead to enhancements in physical
fitness.
The table used for table tennis is rectangular in shape. The dimensions of the object are 9
feet by 5 feet (2.7 meters by 1.5 meters), with its upper surface being a flat plane positioned
30 inches (76 cm) above the floor. During the initial phase of the module, the athletes are
not yet needed to use the conventional table and ball for their progress. To overcome the
lack of suitable equipment, other options such as plywood tables, dining tables, and training
balls can be utilized to carry out the activities. Nevertheless, it is still advisable to use the
normal dimensions and superior craftsmanship of the table and balls for competitive table
tennis.
It is a low-impact sport, activates multiple parts of the brain at the same time and
provides numerous mental benefits, including those for individuals suffering from
Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Table tennis is a global sport. Table tennis is promoted
as a health benefit to the elderly in Japan, the United States, and the United Kingdom,
particularly through the NHS. It is a social game that can be played at any age and is
adaptable to most fitness levels.
There has been increasing scientific evidence of table tennis's overall benefits,
including improved cardiovascular health and cognitive performance, as well as
improvements in emotional and social outcomes in older adults.
Scientific evidence and medical specialists around the world acknowledge that recreational
table tennis promotes focus and alertness, stimulates brain function, aids in the
development of tactical thinking skills, and hand-eye coordination, and provides aerobic
exercise, and social activity.

Lesson 2
Table Tennis Grip
INTRODUCTION
Table tennis grip plays a crucial role in the sport, affecting both performance and
injury predisposition. Research has shown that grip styles in table tennis can impact
musculoskeletal injury risks, with different grip styles influencing injury prevalence.
Additionally, advancements in table tennis equipment, such as specialized rubbers and
rackets, have been developed to enhance ball-catching, ball-bouncing properties, spin,
speed, and return toss stability during gameplay. Furthermore, studies emphasize the
importance of grip training in table tennis, highlighting the need for intelligent grip training
methods to improve competition levels and training outcomes, leading to the development
of innovative grip training systems utilizing somatosensory technology. These findings
collectively underscore the significance of grip techniques and equipment advancements in
optimizing performance and reducing injury risks in table tennis.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Lesson 3
Ball Racket Control Drills
INTRODUCTION
Table tennis ball and racket control have been extensively studied in various
research papers since the sport requires a diverse range of core skills from its players. To
improve one's ping pong skills, it is essential to establish a basic understanding of the basic
principles. These encompass a range of elements, such as precise serving, swift returns,
agile footwork, and strategic decision-making. Each of these skills has a specific purpose
in the game and improves a player's overall performance.
Developing excellent ball control is crucial in table tennis since it forms the
fundamental basis for acquiring essential abilities. Ball control refers to a player's capacity
to manipulate the spin, velocity, and trajectory of the ball during each strike. This skill is
adaptable and enhances your performance in multiple ways.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Understand how enhanced control and coordination contribute to overall table
tennis proficiency.
2. Reflect on gameplay performance to identify areas for continuous improvement.
3. Execute the ball control individual drills which are the up and down ball bouncing,
forehand, backhand, alternate Ball Bouncing, forehand/ backhand wall bouncing,
volley relay and ball relay.
RACKET DRILLS
Table Tennis requires a variety of fundamental abilities from its players. Anybody
trying to get better at ping pong must have a strong foundation of the fundamentals, which
include everything from accurate serving and quick returns to deft footwork and calculated
25
plays. Every one of these abilities has a distinct function in the game and enhances a
player's overall effectiveness.
Ball control is the most important ability in table tennis to build a strong foundation of
basic skills. Ball control is the ability of a player to control the ball's spin, speed, and direction
with each hit. It's a flexible ability that improves your performance in several ways.Through
specific ball handling, players can beat their competitors and establish the game's tempo
and pattern. It is more difficult for opponents to predict the trajectory of the ball when there
is a controlled spin.
Additionally, you can set up your shots and score with confidence when you have
good ball control.

VALUES INTEGRATION
The importance of health in fitness for table tennis is underscored by several key
factors identified in recent research. Firstly, physical fitness significantly enhances
performance, as it improves agility, speed, and endurance, which are crucial for the fast-
paced nature of the sport. Additionally, maintaining good health through regular physical
activity can prevent injuries, which are common in table tennis due to the repetitive motions
involved. Moreover, mental health plays a vital role; athletes with better psychological well-
being tend to exhibit improved focus and decision-making during matches. Nutrition also
emerges as a critical component, as a balanced diet supports energy levels and recovery,
further contributing to overall fitness and performance. Lastly, the integration of health and
fitness training programs tailored for table tennis players can lead to enhanced skill
development and competitive success. Thus, prioritizing health in fitness regimens is
essential for optimizing performance in table tennis.

UNIT II
Lesson 4
Ready Position
INTRODUCTION
Table tennis commonly use a playing surface with dimensions of 20 by 40 feet, which
are the official and acceptable measurements. During the actual game, the ball will arrive
from various angles, including some that are very steep. Despite the relatively smaller size
of a table tennis table compared to other sports grounds or playing venues, movement is
still essential. Hence, precision is equally crucial in table tennis footwork. The precise
footwork required to position yourself optimally for executing a forehand loop is equally
important to the actual leaps you make while attempting to smash a corner after tripping
near the edge of the table. Prior to engaging in any activity at the table, it is essential to
assume the correct posture.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Understand the concept of weight transfer and its importance in the sport of table
tennis.
2. Analyze and evaluate one's own posture and positioning of body weight during
gameplay.
3. Implement weight transfer techniques to improve the precision and force of the shot.
4. Maintain a consistent application of correct stance and weight transfer techniques
throughout both practice and competitive play.
During play, the player must always maintain a ready stance to guarantee optimal
control, power, and consistency. With feet shoulder-width apart, a slight forward crouch is
the standard table tennis stance. Be sure to extend your ankles and knees. It is considerably
easier to make the rapid, sudden movements and pivots required for successful strokes
when much of the weight is supported by the balls of the feet. While it shouldn't be flush,
your upper arm should be close to your torso. Bending the elbow is necessary so that the
forearm and racket point forward. It's crucial to have a relaxed stance; change it till most of
your tension is released. The goal is to keep the ideal posture, so watch out that you don't
become too comfortable to the point where you slump.
Beginners can learn the footwork after they have mastered the ready position. The
main goal of footwork is to set up the player for the best possible shot—one that doesn't
require a reach. Since the opponent can surprise the player by giving a shot in the opposite
direction of your movement, any needless movement is a waste of time and energy. When
shuffled across the table, most players do a side-to-side motion. In situations where the ball
is approaching rapidly, it is crucial to maintain a face-to-the-table position. Transitioning
from left to right employs the same techniques.
32
3. The racket should be table height and in front of the body (for easy transfer to forehand
or backhand)
Activity 8
Direction: The class is divided into pairs, one balloon between two students. Hit the
balloons to each other using the forehand. Count how many forehands can be done without
letting the balloon hit the floor.
Guide Question:
1. Was the activity fun?
2. Did the students learn or improve their skills? What skills have you improved in doing the
activities?

Lesson 5
Table Tennis Footwork
INTRODUCTION
It is essential to understand that possessing strong footwork is important in the game of
table tennis. Players can enhance their speed and accuracy in movement and achieve
superior performance by developing proficient footwork. It is a critical component in table
tennis, significantly influencing performance and strategy.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Understand the relation between efficient footwork and enhanced agility and
accuracy in returning shots.
2. Offer insightful feedback to colleagues regarding their footwork, promoting ongoing
enhancement.
3. Engage in footwork exercises specifically designed to improve agility and quickness.
Footwork Pattern
In table tennis, there are two primary footwork patterns: side to side and in and out.
It's crucial to maintain the player’s weight forward when performing footwork by
always remaining on the toes. To improve their balance and reduce their center of
gravity, the player must also bend their knees. Remembering this would improve
35
their movement during a game and enable them to perform to the best of their
abilities.
Beginning at your base position, you take short, rapid steps in a side-to-side shuffling
pattern from your left foot to your right foot, then back to your left foot, and so on, to
transition from a backhand to a forehand.
When switching from a forehand to a backhand, you begin by shifting your right foot
first, followed by your left, right, and finally left.
Step forward with your right foot so that your right leg is below the table as you go
inward toward the ball. Once you've made your shot, take a step back to the starting
position.
Under the table, your right foot moves first, then your left foot. Your left foot goes
back to base position and your right foot goes back out when you have completed
your stroke.

Lesson 6
Table Drills
INTRODUCTION
Table tennis drills are essential for improving your game. Whether you’re a beginner
or an advanced player, practicing drills can enhance your skills and consistency. It is
important for developing various skills, including technique, strategy, and physical
conditioning.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Understand the significance of ball control and eye-hand synchronization for
achieving success in gameplay.
2. Engage in specialized workouts aimed at enhancing eye-hand coordination.
3. Participate in drills that specifically target the ability to strike the ball with exactness
and precision.
Hand-eye coordination is the ability to do tasks that need us to use both our hands
and our eyes at the same time, such as catching a ball or playing a musical instrument. In
sports, hand-eye coordination is an important skill that can have a direct impact on an
athlete's performance. Many sports, such as tennis, basketball, baseball, and soccer,
require good hand-eye coordination. Improved hand-eye coordination can dramatically
improve an athlete's performance by allowing them to react faster, make more precise
movements, and keep greater control over their actions.

Serving is one of the most crucial aspects of table tennis. Players can't win a match without
a strong serve! It is critical to obey the regulations when serving since you do not want to
get called out by the official. Practice basic and advanced serves to make it more difficult to
return.
When one player or pair chooses to serve or receive first, or to begin at a specific end, the
other player or couple has the alternative option. After every two points are scored, the
receiving player or pair becomes the serving player or pair, and so on until the end of the
game.
