Running Training

Training

Kenneth Tham Asked 4 years ago

Dear PingSkills,

When training table tennis, do we need to do some running for stamina as a complementary training? For the case when we can only play table tennis twice a week, what kind of running would be suitable? How about for competitive players, do they usually do running as training also?

Regards,

Kenneth

Hi Kenneth,

Endurance is important for Table Tennis players in situations when you are playing tournaments over a long day or over a few days.

It will also help you to recover quickly in matches.

All of this means that your body isn't working as hard so you have more ability to concentrate and think your way through.

#38 - Backhand 3rd Ball Attack

The backhand topspin off backspin is often considered a harder shot than the forehand. In this week's training session we focus on utilising this shot to make a 3rd ball attack. If you can master this your opponents will find it difficult to stop you attacking and you will constantly have them under pressure.
