Abstract

Involving children in table tennis is very important for ensuring their physical and mental development. Table tennis, as a sport that involves speed, reaction and strategy, helps to develop balance and attention in children. This sport plays an important role in improving the child's muscular system, coordination and motor skills, as well as reducing stress and increasing self-confidence. Table tennis, as a sport that is easy to start and requires very little space, is very convenient for children. Involving them in this sport helps to make physical activity interesting and fun, while also improving their social skills. Children learn team and individual competition in table tennis, make new friends, and learn patience and discipline to achieve their goals. In addition, the popularity of table tennis among children increases their interest in sports and guides them towards a healthy lifestyle. Engaging athletes in physical activity from childhood creates an important foundation for future success in health, behavior, and social relationships.
