Footwork is an integral part of table tennis training and competition, as it is closely related to the success of ball striking tactics which is a significant determinant of the player’s performance. The paper is written is to provide some exercises for improving table tennis footwork technical coordination. To improve the quality of footwork among university students, 5 professional activities and 4 physical exercises were identified based on a field survey, synthesis of scientific papers, and expert interviews.
