Training
How do professional players concile weight training, specifically for the legs, with frequent on-table training.
Assuming a schedule of daily on-table training, is legs training with weights needed/productive, or not?
Which stategy is generally used, given of course that each body reacts differently to training?
Hi Saverio,
Weight training for the legs is crucial at the higher level. It is best to do about 3 weight sessions a week. This could be focused during the off season.
Take a look at the Blogs on Weight Training for Table Tennis or Strength and Condiitoning for Table Tennis.
You need to develop strength through weight training which will then increase your ability to move faster and more efficiently.
Due to the speed at which the modern game of Table Tennis is played, the backhand has become a stroke which can separate the medium level players from the elite players. Make sure you pay attention to your backhand and develop it so that you opponent cannot get a soft ball by simply playing to your backhand.
