DOES SWALLOWING A BALL COUNT AS HITTING IT?

This table tennis player has his open mouth too close to the ball and we just hope he doesn’t accidentally swallow it. Table tennis injuries are mostly overuse injuries due to the excessive, constant movements of the elbow and wrist joints. Some players also report suffering from ankle injuries as players have to be in constant motion.

A paper published reported that for many players the most common injury was a shoulder injury, reported by 20% of those surveyed. Other injuries included hip and spine injuries, both at 15%. A proper fitness trainer that monitors the player can help prevent such injuries from occurring or worsening.
