After playing table tennis for a long time, water or even sugar water is usually added to replenish energy. If you want to lose weight, try not to supplement sugar water or similar foods. You can take a short break in the middle and drink some water or healthy drinks during the break.

In addition, it is best to play with a certain level of golfers, or under the guidance of a coach, so the amount of exercise is relatively large, and it is also appropriate to ensure a certain amount of exercise.

Playing table tennis is a confrontation between two people. Someone accompanies me in sports. Unlike other sports, it is not easy for a person to persist. Table tennis is easy to stick to, as long as you have the right friends.

The cost of playing table tennis is low. You can meet three or five friends to practice basic skills or play games, which not only achieves the purpose of exercise, but also can lose weight.

Second, what are the benefits of the elderly playing table tennis?

Playing table tennis can improve patients' alertness, body balance and coordination, thus reducing the risk of Alzheimer's disease. He said that in the process of playing ball, patients must predict the direction and strength of the ball, and judge the time and space according to the actual situation when catching the ball, which makes patients unconsciously exercise their brain's attention and body coordination ability. Playing table tennis also provides patients with social opportunities of "meeting friends with the ball", which reduces or eliminates patients' loneliness and depression.

Playing table tennis also has therapeutic effect on Alzheimer's disease. It is found that patients with Alzheimer's disease exercise more brain parts when playing table tennis. After playing table tennis, they will be more energetic, talk more and walk twice as fast. To this end, Plokin, the founder of the Alzheimer's Clinic at UCLA, suggested that the elderly might as well do more activities such as riding horses, playing the piano and playing table tennis to exercise many parts of the brain.

Third, several steps to play table tennis

1, single step

Take one foot as the axis, the other foot moves in four directions, and the center of gravity keeps up. Table tennis pays attention to the simplicity, flexibility and stability of the center of gravity in one step, and generally moves within a range where the ball is not too far from the body.

Second step

One foot touches the ground, and the other foot takes a big step in the moving direction. Mostly used for attacking players to move left and right to hit the ball. In order to prevent losing the center of gravity after striding, the pedal should be followed by half a step or a small step.

Step by step

One foot moves (or merges) half a step or a small step to the other foot, and the other foot moves in the same direction after landing. It is characterized by its body not flying, its center of gravity slightly fluctuating and very stable. Generally, it is used by offensive players or chippers when they move left and right.

Step 4: Skip

After that, the ball was stepped in the same direction, and both feet were instantly vacated. The foot farther away from the ball landed first, and the other foot followed off the ground. Its characteristic is that the moving range is larger than the stride, which is beneficial to attack it with force. Attackers often use it when moving left and right.

Step 5: Cross step

In the direction of the ball, the toes lean forward in the direction of movement, move a little half a step or adjust the center of gravity. The foot away from the ball takes a big step near the ball, and then the body instantly crosses.

The body then moves in the direction of the ball, steps on the other heel, and the center of gravity of the body rotates slightly with the direction of the arm waving. A step taken by one foot towards the far ball will touch the ball when landing, and the ball has already been touched when the other foot moves. This kind of footwork moves a lot, and it is often used when playing right neutral or returning to backhand attack from the right corner after a sideways attack. Helicopters often use it when moving back and forth.

Step 6 take small steps

Small steps with high frequency are mainly suitable for the adjustment of footwork. The footwork has moved to a certain position, and the right hitting point has not been found yet. It needs to be adjusted in small steps to strive for a better hitting point. Small steps are particularly important in footwork, and it is also an important factor to measure whether a person's footwork is reasonable and coordinated.
