The heart and lungs are two vital organs that must be kept healthy. One way to maintain the health of these two organs is to exercise. And the most recommended is aerobic exercise, strength training, stretching, flexibility and balance.
Active moves such as playing table tennis can stimulate the work of the heart and lungs to stay healthy. Table tennis can strengthen the heart muscle, keep body weight stable, and trigger the lungs to work harder to supply the additional oxygen needed by the muscles.
Excess fat is a major risk factor for developing heart disease. Strength training has a significant effect on breaking down fat. Not only reducing fat levels, this exercise can also increase muscle mass.
Table Tennis exercises can also tighten the respiratory muscles, so that we can breathe more effectively. Perform regular exercise at least twice per week. If due to time constraints, try at least once per week to maintain endurance.
Stretching, flexibility and balance don't actually contribute directly to heart health. But it is very important to do before and after we practice.
This is done so that we remain flexible so that we are free from joint pain, cramps, and other muscle problems.
Flexibility and balance exercises help maintain stability and prevent us from falling while playing.
It is believed that table tennis is very good for training the muscles to avoid these two diseases.
Exercise with sufficient portions, a healthy lifestyle with adequate rest, balanced food intake, consumption of vitamins and supplements are also needed to maintain endurance.
It is not recommended for people with heart and lung diseases to force themselves to play table tennis for achievements (competitions/tournaments), just do it for fun. Stop training before exhaustion, not stopping due to exhaustion (fatigue). Get to know our body's signals to avoid things we don't want.
Practice table tennis for the health of our heart and lungs, not after suffering from just practicing table tennis. Don't flip!!
Healthy spirit and greetings 🏓
