Sport as Rehabilitation: Table Tennis Training for Military Veterans Held at DSUIA

NEWS, Sport for military veterans

The event was traditionally organized by the Department of Special Physical Training of the Dnipro State University of Internal Affairs.

Veterans who have taken an interest in table tennis visit DSUIA weekly, where they train and compete with each other. The training sessions are led by Vasyl KOVAL, Ukraine’s table tennis champion.

Experts note that such activities improve the functioning of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, strengthen muscles and joints, and most importantly, enhance mood and contribute to the socialization of veterans undergoing rehabilitation after injuries. Additionally, the training provides veterans with the opportunity to excel in sports, serving as motivation for continued engagement in physical activities.

The event was held as part of the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ “Friendly Support” project, initiated by the Department of Education, Science, and Sports. #friendly_support
