Table tennis is one of the fastest and most technically demanding sports in the world — and understanding it requires more than just practice. Developed in close collaboration with the German Table Tennis Association, this textbook combines scientific expertise with practical experience to provide a comprehensive and accessible guide to modern table tennis. It is designed for sports students, coaches, and instructors who want to deepen their knowledge of training science and pedagogy while directly improving their own performance.From fundamental techniques and tactical principles in singles and doubles to evidence-based training methods, the book equips readers with the tools to both enhance their own playing skills and design effective training sessions for diverse target groups. Integrated video materials — including stroke and footwork techniques — make it easy to transfer theory into practice. Insightful, practical, and scientifically grounded, this book is an essential companion for anyone who aims to understand table tennis at a deeper level and to pass on that knowledge with confidence and expertise.
