PingPongParkinson World Championship in Wels 2023

/0 comments/in , , /from

On Tuesday I entered exhibition hall 6 in Wels and was immediately overwhelmed by the energy and enthusiasm. Surrounded by almost 300 other athletes from all over the world who are just as passionate about table tennis as I am, I immediately felt at home. Now, on Friday, I'm proudly in the round of XNUMX in both the men's doubles and the doubles mix. This isn't just a competition; it is a testament to the unwavering spirit of all of us - athletes who, despite Parkinson's disease, push our limits and show what is possible. The following article from Oberösterreich Nachrichten gives a comprehensive and impressive insight into this World Cup, and I would like to share it with you.

In addition to being a fast and exciting sport, table tennis can also provide therapeutic benefits, particularly for people with Parkinson's disease. Bayerischer Rundfunk highlighted exactly this connection in an interesting report on Bayern 3 and presented both expert opinions from medical professionals and stories from those affected. One of the guests of this article is Jürgen Zender, the editor of the Parkinson Journal.

Table tennis as a self-help

/0 comments/in , /from

Today I, Jürgen Zender, am back in our sports hall in the east of Munich and, like every Monday and Thursday, I take part in table tennis training. Almost a dozen players meet here and together we warm up for a few rounds.

What is just a leisure sport for many has a very special meaning for all of us here. We all suffer from Parkinson's disease, a disease that prevents us from properly controlling our muscles and limbs. But that's exactly why we play table tennis. The complex and fast sport helps us to relieve the symptoms of the disease.

After more and more "Parkies" joined our project PingPongParkinson-VR and we already have our own ranking list, the step to the first tournament was only logical.
 
In the future, the "International PingPongParkinson-VR-ChampionShip" will take place on the first Sunday of each quarter.
 

We start unscheduled on Sunday February 5th at 18pm. Anyone with Parkinson's disease and who has the technical requirements for the TT simulation "ELEVEN TT" (VR glasses Quest1 or 2) can take part.

 
The tournament will be broadcast live on twitch and youtube. Interested parties should please apply as soon as possible, since only 20 starting places can be allocated in the first tournament.

Parkinson's and virtual table tennis

/0 comments/in , , , /from

But with the increasing application possibilities of VR software (virtual reality), combined with a falling price of the necessary devices, we are currently experiencing a paradigm shift. From the very beginning of computer games, sports simulations have emerged today that have reached an unprecedented level of realism in the virtual world.

First and foremost is the table tennis simulation Eleven TT, which is unparalleled in terms of its realism and is gaining more and more recognition as a “real” sport on both a national and international association level.
