Supplementary activities for Table Tennis

Training

John Wampler Asked 12 years ago

What would you recommend as good activities or exercises that will contribute to or compliment table tennis? What sports or activities have you found to be good cross training?

Alois Rosario Answered 12 years ago

Hi John,

I have found Tennis useful. I have also found things like Qi Gong or Tai Chi useful.

I didn't do any form of martial arts when I was playing however I have done some later and I think it would be useful for balance. I also did Pilates which I think would be useful.

Certainly weight training in the correct form will help as well.

Unless you are a defender you won't be practicing chopping regularly. However the chop is a great way to stay in the point if you are out of position and is also a difficult variation for your opponent to deal with.
