I always argued with some friend saying that playing ping pong / table tennis is'nt much a healthy game as it's is a simple game that doesnt required high strenght & body move . It's also often played indoor in which in fact not giving fresh respiration/air... Is it true ?

i think that all depends on the level of skill that you play at. I consider myself to be pretty athletic and i get workout from playing sometimes, depending on the opponent. the important thing is that table tennis isn't unhealthy. it's a good way to sharpen your hand eye coordination skills and your quickness

did they even try playing table tennis? i doubt they did. I sweat all the time and is a good exercise for the eyes it keeps me being alert most of the time

nope i play table tennis in my school team and it is quite a tiring game in fact, it requires you to have fast reflexes, quick moves, stradegies etc. Of course, its not as healthy as soccer which can train ur stamina etc. However, even though some of my friends play soccer daily, they still arent as fit as me.
