At Dnipro State University of Internal Affairs, another training in table tennis for military veterans took place. The classes are conducted on a permanent basis by the department of special physical training with the support of the leadership of the university within the framework of the development of veteran sports.
The training was conducted by the Champion of Ukraine in table tennis Vasyl Koval.
During the training, the participants improved their playing technique, practiced the accuracy of strokes, improved coordination of movements and speed of reaction. The classes took place in a friendly atmosphere of mutual support and team interaction, which is an important component of the process of social adaptation of veterans.
Experts note that table tennis belongs to the sports that positively affect the general physical condition, contribute to the development of coordination, concentration of attention and endurance. Regular trainings help to reduce the level of stress, maintain emotional balance and restore confidence in one’s own strengths.
For many veterans, such classes are not only an element of physical rehabilitation, but also an opportunity for communication, exchange of experience and return to active social life. That is why the development of veteran sports remains one of the important areas of activity of DSUIA in the field of support for the defenders of Ukraine.
