Speed training
is one of the most exhausting but, of course, essential parts of every workout. Short sprints
in the sense of a relay or line run
are often welcome in training, especially if a competitive character can be generated. Tappings, which are made from the basic position and which are usually interrupted by a certain signal in favor of a certain speed exercise (eg shadow training), serve as another great way to increase the speed of action. Sidesteps, which are still the most commonly used legwork technique in table tennis for bridging middle distances, just like the other exercises, can be done alone and are so well suited to training them anytime and almost anywhere.
