Running 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.

The Controller
Most drills involve one person performing the exercise and the other placing the ball as required by the exercise. We call this person placing the ball the controller. When you are acting as the controller it is a great opportunity to practice your blocking and concentration. As blocking is an important part of the game you should be 100% focused at this time. You also owe it to your training partner to be blocking effectively so they get the most from their exercise.
