IT'S A “PING PONG MOVEMENT”

The circumstances created by the Pandemic have led to an ideal environment for increased participation in the game of ping pong. Unique to the sport, it doesn’t require a high skill level, can be played by all ages and has a low cost of entry.

WHY WE NEED PING PONG RIGHT NOW?

The pandemic has caused millions of elderly and those with underlying conditions to be forced into isolation and decreased activity. Ping Pong provides an antidote by connecting people across generations in a safe environment.

HEALTH BENEFITS INCLUDE:

✳ Cardiovascular exercise ✳ Mind-body stimulation ✳ Improves fitness ✳ Increased coordination͕
✳ Increased cerebral blood flow ✳ Gentle on joints ͕ ✳ Better sleep patterns ✳ Improved social and mental health

Additionally, the simple act of hitting a ping pong ball repeatedly every few seconds actually triggers neurological pathways throughout the entire body, training eye-hand coordination and accessing virtually every muscle in the body.

The speed, ball projection, and spins result to sharpened mental acuity due to hormonal boost and slowed rate of aging in the brain. The lightning-fast decisions help prevent cognitive decline associated with aging.

PING PONG IS THE WORLD’ S BEST BRAIN GAME

Recent research continues to build around the promising benefits of playing ping pong for degenerative brain diseases. In May, 2020, the American Academy of Neurology published a study with promising results — it found that people with Parkinson’s who played ping showed improvement in their symptoms.

WHAT THE EXPERTS ARE SAYING:

“The clear increase in motor skills and cognitive awareness from playing table tennis is significant,
if not remarkable, in its unique benefit for brain disease patients." - Alzheimer's Weekly
"Ping Pong is the world’s best brain game. Why? You got to get your eyes, your hand and your feet,
all to work together while you think about the spin of the ball. Think of it like aerobic chess.” - Dr. Daniel Amen
Ping Pong has been shown “in the general population to improve hand-eye coordination, sharpen
reflexes and stimulate the brain.” - Dr. Ken-Ichi Inoe
And Dr. Oz Agrees! WATCH NOW

Please support us in Phase I where we will raise awareness about the benefits of playing ping pong for those directly and indirectly affected by Parkinson’s, Alzheimers and MS. Phase II will help facilitate access to the game and develop protocols around treatment.

Thank you for reading and thank you in advance for your support!

Let’s have fun with this one,
