Health Benefits

Table Tennis is generally thought of as a leisure activity, but it actually has many health and wellness benefits. People who play table tennis regularly can expect improved reflexes and hand-eye coordination while strengthening the muscles of the arms, back, and abdomen.

Returning a ball that can go in many different directions at speeds up to 100 mph improves agility and strengthens the muscles in your arms and legs. Back muscles also improve as they come into play when bending at the waist to pick up a missed ball which happens quite frequently.

Improvement in reflexes and strength of your muscles is beneficial to normal, everyday activities, such as driving.

In addition, there is the benefit in the friendship and camaraderie found socializing with fellow table tennis players.
