Prepare your body for time at the table.
Table tennis training combines movement, coordination and repeated changes of direction. Physical preparation supports the technical work you do with your coach.
Before your session
Make time for a gradual warm-up and controlled movement before increasing the pace. Ask your coach how to prepare for the session ahead.
During training
Work on balanced movement and recovery between shots. Build pace and training volume progressively, with breaks and water as needed.
Develop a routine that fits you
Discuss footwork, general fitness and recovery with your coach. Training should reflect your age, experience and individual needs rather than a single programme for everyone.
For pain, injury or rehabilitation needs, seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
