At Dnipro State University of Internal Affairs, another table tennis training for military veterans took place. The classes on a permanent basis are conducted by the department of special physical training with the support of the university leadership 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 class, the participants improved their playing technique, practiced the accuracy of strokes, developed coordination of movements and speed of reaction. The training took place in a friendly atmosphere of mutual support and team interaction, which is an important component of the social adaptation of veterans.
Specialists 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 classes help to reduce the level of stress, maintain emotional balance and restore confidence in one’s own strengths.
For many veterans, such trainings are not only a component of physical rehabilitation, but also an opportunity to communicate, exchange experience and return to active social life. That is why the development of veteran sports remains one of the important directions of DSUIA’s activity in the sphere of support for the defenders of Ukraine.
