Benefits of Table Tennis
Develops mental sharpness
The speed, spin and placement of the ball are crucial in table tennis, and practiced players are highly skilled in both creating and solving puzzles involving these three attributes. After you have played with us you may experience an increase in focus.
Improves balance
Playing table tennis encourages balance which is especially important for seniors. Being able to move quickly and change direction are key aspects of successful table tennis rallies.
Burn calories
A 70kg person can burn 272 calories by playing table tennis for an hour. Table tennis is also entertaining and a bit addictive so it can be a fun and easy way to burn calories and help with weight management.
Improves reflexes
The fast-paced nature of the sport improves both gross and fine muscle movements. Table tennis is distinguished by bursts of exertion and recovery, leading to fast-twitch–muscle development. Leaving the participant feeling that they have done a good workout but they have not over-exerted themselves.
Offers a social outlet
Table tennis welcomes all players from 5 to 100 so you will find a variety of age groups in the centre and in our competitions. Whether you're playing in the Brisbane Table Tennis Centre or at home with friends, table tennis offers a great way to bond with other people while you stay fit and active.
