Table tennis: side step footwork.
Table tennis is a sport that requires hundreds of movements with change of direction during each game and in training. Most of the movements in Table Tennis are performed in a lateral direction towards the table, and therefore the development of muscles, movements and neural responses have to be one of the objectives of the training programs.
When moving, lean the upper body forward slightly, the center of gravity is on the forefoot of the feet, and the knees are naturally bent to make the lower limbs full of elasticity, like a tight spring, to maintain the best explosive force at any time.
Before hitting the ball, watch the opponent’s racket and observe the direction and angle of the racket when the opponent swings the racket to contact the ball, in order to determine the ball’s nature, direction and point of impact in advance, and increase the accuracy of footwork movement.
