Table tennis is a sport that requires a high degree of skill and flexibility, in which foot movement is one of the key foundations. Here are some table tennis foot movement training methods:
Move back and forth: Stand on the table** with your feet shoulder-width apart.
When moving forward, push the ground with the forefoot, lift the back heel slightly, and shift the center of gravity forward.
When moving back, push the ball of your back foot, lift your front heel slightly, and shift your center of gravity back.
Side-to-side movement: The body is slightly inclined to move in the direction of movement.
Turn the toes of the left foot to the left and the toe of the right foot to the right.
Turn around quickly and use your waist to drive your body instead of your feet.
Cross step: Cross step is a common movement in table tennis and can be used to attack sideways or quickly move to the other side of the table.
Fork the left ** to the front of the right foot, fork the right ** to the back of the left foot, alternately.
Pay attention to balance and don't lose your center of gravity.
Broken step adjustment: In table tennis, broken step adjustment is a very important way to move your foot.
Between the balls, move in small steps quickly, keeping your body and center of gravity stable.
This helps to stay close to the ball and have better control of the ball.
High-low combination: In table tennis, a combination of high and low foot movement is required.
Depending on the trajectory of the ball, quickly and accurately raise the leg or stride low.
Take care to keep your knees bent to facilitate quick reactions.
Practice according to ball nature:
Foot movement training for different ball properties (topspin, downspin, sidespin, etc.).
For topspin balls, you need to move forward and up;For the downspin ball, you need to move downward;For sidespin balls, you need to move to the side.
Multi-ball training: Multi-ball training can effectively improve the accuracy and reaction speed of foot movement.
Place multiple table tennis balls on the table and train your feet in turn.
Simulated competition: Foot movement training is carried out through simulated competition, which is closer to the actual competition situation.
You can practice with your partner and move your feet according to the opponent's offense or defense.
Auxiliary training: Doing some auxiliary training can help improve the ability to move your feet, such as jumping rope, running, sit-ups, etc.
Pay attention to relaxation: When doing foot movement training, pay attention to the relaxation of the body. Only in a relaxed state can the potential of the body be better realized. At the same time, pay attention to the coordination of your breath to help improve your body's endurance and reflexes.
In conclusion, table tennis foot movement training requires a combination of multiple methods for comprehensive exercises to improve the body's flexibility and reflexes. With constant practice and gaining experience, you will be able to better master the footwork movement skills of table tennis.
