Table tennis is a skill-based sport that is mainly skillful and supplemented by physical fitness. It originated in the United Kingdom. The name "ping pong" originated in 1900 and is named for the sound it makes when it is hit.

In 1982, the International Olympic Committee passed a resolution to officially list table tennis as a competition event at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, and its purpose is also to popularize the development of table tennis.

There were four competitions at that time, namely men's singles, men's doubles, women's singles, and women's doubles.

Table tennis is an excellent exercise for the brain.

Because when playing table tennis, the brain needs to mobilize multiple sensory systems of the body in a short period of time to choose the best hitting point, so long-term table tennis exercise can exercise the brain.

But playing table tennis at the same time can also have some bad effects.

Sometimes the incorrect way of playing can easily lead to muscle sprains in the body, and long-term excessive playing can also damage the body's muscle health.

More seriously, playing table tennis for a long time may also lead to a hunchback, so before playing table tennis, everyone must pay attention to fully exercising their limbs and doing warm-up exercises to avoid injury during exercise.

In addition, the elderly who suffer from diseases and are not very flexible in exercise must pay attention to the length of exercise and avoid intense exercise.

Different athletes have different grips. There are two main ways to hold a racket, horizontal and straight.

A horizontal hold is like a handshake. The middle finger, ring finger, and little finger naturally hold the handle of the racket, and the tiger's mouth is attached to the shoulder of the racket.

The straight grip method is to stick the handle on the tiger's mouth, the second knuckle of the index finger and the first knuckle of the thumb form a pincer shape, the two fingers are moderately spaced, and the other three fingers are naturally bent and stacked behind the beat.

Different grips have their own advantages, resulting in different gameplay.

Each grip method has certain benefits for different athletes.
