Welcome to Dr. Table Tennis. You are player, coach or just interested in effective table tennis training? Here you get al lot of efficient exercises, practical tips and explanations to make training better. Have fun watching the videos and please subscribe to get informed about new videos!
Thanks, this order because the stretching for prevention of injuries and quick running to raise the tone of the muscles. There are studies that found, that after stretching sometimes the tone of the muscles is al little bit decreased...🏓
Thanks for your comment 😉🏓 Concerning books i can recommend the literature, that is recommended by the highest training organisation of each country. I have collected almost all books, that are common in germany, so they are in german language. But there should be also books in english or your language.... Best regards!
Seems logical enough, but are top level players using these techiques? Your argument for normal ladder drills not being transferrable to table tennis should also apply to the altered ones showed in this video, in my opinion. The context of moving to a ball within the confines of a table is removed, so it is just as fictitious as with other ladder drills, no?
Thanks for your comment. In my opinion "normal" ladder drills are good to built up general coordinative abilities such as coupling ability or differentiation ability. But in the next step the movement patterns should be more specific. This means, that there should be the same footwork movement patterns in the ladder as behind the table, and this is the goal of the exercises, that are presented in this video. Best regards!
We love your videos and we are trying your drills ... Watch please our beginner players ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JO8Ob_wSjxY.html Thanks.
I have tried to do little things like this to wake my brain up more during warmups (particularly if I play in the mornings). This is great and gives me a lot of ideas. Thanks!
I dont understand why i see players do this exercises , without obstacle, looking down, the question is when i m playing do i look downd ? i believe without looking down your brain will send a faster message to the body how to move , i can just memorize with the eyes the first movement then i have to watch forward, thanks
Thanks for your comment. You are right, at the end, we need fast movements with feet/legs without looking down because we have to focus on the ball. But at the beginning players should learn also to focus on the feet to understand, that footwork is very important. So these exercises are the first step to develope a fast footwork. Because of the ropes on the ground players look down at the beginning, when the footwork patterns are automised they will look up 😉
I am currently coaching a group of 6 young players (age 8 to 12), starting at the very basics. Their attention span at the table is fairly limited, so I've been doing plenty of off-table exercises to stimulate ball control. With that in mind, do you have any more suggestions or exercises you do off the table to improve the very basics of table tennis? Grateful for any more suggestions!
Just dropping a comment to let you know I'm so glad I finally found someone doing in-depth on teaching young kids in an applied way. Most of the stuff online is fluff "five ways to teach kids!" pieces. This channel is a goldmine.
Excellent exercises with cristal clear instructions! Im a tabletennis coach myself and this is a really good drill. If you wanna built this up with your pupils, i'd also recommend focusing on the footworks patterns. Maybe lay different colored pairs of circles on the floor for the player to know where exactly he has to place his feet in (especially if you want him to pivot for example).
Thanks for your feedback. Yes, it is a good idea to shift the focus from above the table to the feet from time to time. Also, to use training tools on the ground is a good idea ;-) 👍
so u only have real TT training on 2 of the 10 parts.. wow i totally understand u wanna warm up a lil to avoid injuries depending on how hard you train with excercises or multiball but this seems to have a big junk of complete overhead wasting a lot of time and taking out the fun for the players.. like if you have 8hours for the training like the chineese do, sure u can do all that and it will help, but not on the average 2h sessions in the club
Thanks for your feedback! Please don´t get confused by the numbers. Here is the time schedule for a 2-hour club training session, that i can recommend by experience: 1.Greeting+WarmUp (15-20min. - part 1-4 in the video) 2.Table tennis training with focus on tecnical and tactical issues (45min. - part 5+6 of the video) 3. Table tennis training with focus on service-receive and competition (30min. - part 7 of the video) 4. Conditioning (20min. part 8 of the video) 5. Cool Down and Ending (15min. - part 9+10 of the video) At some days and with people who only play one time a week it is o.k. to miss out the conditioning part for more table tennis. But it depends on your training goals or focus points.... Best regards, Mathias
Hi, the training goal and why these exercises are usefull are explained in this video. Further it is explained how the reaction process works, which is the objective of these exercises. The repeated application of these exercises cause adaptations in the structures that underly the reaction process from perception of the ears and eyes to the muscle movement at the end of the reaction process. In addition these exercises are the last part of a warm up routine before players go at the table and play the first balls....
This is ridiculous. As long as you're facing across the width that way, place a half-height 'net' down the length of the table and play (4 per table) with slowish racquets. That way you're doing something remotely resembling reactions in quasi-rallying contexts, but forcing to track, move, and stroke in very fast cycles, and tremendous density-of-practice. btw, physiological reaction times have nothing to do with real-world TT reaction _realization._ Desmond Douglas had the fastest near-table skills of his English peers, in his day, but was actually _measured_ to have the slowest of them all in a training test. * _____ * His skills are not related to the practice outlined in ¶1, incidentally; it was just a by-the-way. It just worked for me (and I'll venture to argue that it worked for me, because it _works_ ).
Hi, thanks for your comment. Part one I like the training idea to play over short distances with varying raquets which is like using mini tables to create shorter reaction circumstances. And yes, maybe in these situations there can be a higher transfer from this exercise to the overall performance at the real table. But in my opinion this is because you mix the training goals anticipation and reaction. Maybe Desmond Douglas had an ability to anticipate that is above average. This anticipation process is an other kognitive skill than the reaction process which is the topic in this video/exercise. In these exercises its only about the physiological reaction times and the pathways of electrical impulse transfer and processing that can be improved. This is measurable and biology, so it can be improved to a certain extend with training. But i agree with you, that is debatable how much transfer there is to the real table tennis performance becaus anticipation and reaction processes happen at the same time during table tennis play, so it is hard to say how much influence each ability has. In summary i recommend to practice anticipation on the one hand, reaction on the other hand and both together like in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TqiNtQM7JWo.html
Jumping up the stairs has a vertical and horizontal component. The horizontal we need behind the table. The vertical component brings an additional training stimulus because it produces more tension on muscles, tendons and joints of the lower limbs and the abdominal muscles. So this additional training stimulus should bring adaptations in these parts to become stronger and faster ✌So, have fun during training! Best regards!!
@@dr.tabletennis I thought of doing it three times a week. I have a backlog of many years from the time I gave up TT to now. Do you have a website, by the way?
@@RajivChopra Because these exercises are very demanding for muscles, tendons and joints maybe its better to start twice a week with enough recovery time between. Be carefull! Good luck and have fun during training! I have no website, just this little channel as a hobby.
