We have included Table Tennis to our Badminton session as a new activity and to cater to increasing numbers at this session each week. The table tennis table is located in the room right next door and attendees can choose to participate in both activities over the course of the two hour session.
Benefits for Badminton:
Impact helps the growth of the cells which form bones, making Badminton a great sport for older people and those looking to strengthen their bones and prevent fractures – it is lower impact that squash and tennis so it's a great compromise for those unable to play faster, more high impact sports.
Benefits of Table Tennis:
Playing table tennis has great health benefits for seniors and is a great way to stimulate the brain and promote quick thinking while improving hand-eye coordination. Table tennis is a low-injury risk sport that keeps one fit and flexible and improves reflexes.
