Table Tennis

In table tennis, shoulder injuries can be prevented with strengthening exercises and rest periods. To avoid elbow injuries, it's crucial to warm up before matches, adopt the correct grip technique and strengthen the forearm muscles. Wrist injuries can be minimised by warming up beforehand, gentle movement techniques and strengthening exercises. Maintaining proper posture, strengthening the back muscles and stretching are preventative practices for injuries in this area.

Preventing muscle strains involves a specific warm-up and general strengthening exercises. Wearing appropriate footwear, strengthening leg muscles and avoiding sudden movements are all measures to prevent knee injuries. To avoid repetitive motion injuries, varying the types of exercises, including active recovery periods and proper technique are essential. To summarise, prevention in table tennis requires a balance between strengthening, refined technique and adequate rest, providing safe and long-lasting practice.
