Health Benefits of Table Tennis |
Health Benefits of Table Tennis (from Sherri Pitman's July/August 2006 President's Report)
Through table tennis, may we all live a long and happy life. Our clothing sponsor Mitch Rothfleisch, showed up at the World Championships down 100 pounds! How did he do it? He primarily credits table tennis. He said
that he just decided to lose weight and he thought that the best strategy would be to start training again. Congratulations, Mitch!
Through my years promoting the sport, the one thing educators always stress is that they are under constant pressure to produce good results when it comes to standardized testing. Everyone knows the health
benefits of regular exercise, but what they always tell me is something with a different emphasis: “Hey, if you can produce evidence that table tennis is good for kids’ brains, then you could get into the school systems nationwide.” Well, we may have some good news. Just recently I learned of a book by Dr. Daniel Amen, Making a Good Brain Great: The Amen Clinic Program for Achieving and Sustaining Optimal Mental Performance.
And, although I haven’t had a chance to read the book yet, I did do some Internet research. I came upon this statement by Dr. Amen at his clinic’s website, “It is important to be smarter when it comes to our brains. Golf, tennis and table tennis are better sports, especially for children.” In another article, he wrote: “Golf is good. Tennis is terrific. Table tennis is the world’s best game!” |
