While it may appear low-intensity, competitive table tennis involves rapid lateral movements, lunges, and explosive forehand and backhand strokes. Studies show that table tennis activates more areas of the brain than almost any other physical activity, making it beneficial for cognitive function and potentially reducing the risk of dementia.
