Health + Fitness
Table tennis is both a brain game and incredibly physical. Featuring a fast-paced mix of aerobics, strategy and hand-eye coordination, table tennis combines both physical and mental exercise to achieve the ultimate in health and fitness.
To dive a little deeper, outdoor ping pong delivers in leaps and bounds:
Being a part of a social community that is not defined by age, gender or class improves your mental health and wellbeing.
For young people, at the critical growth stage in their motor learning and development, ping pong helps develop neuromuscular skill, conditioned reflexes and prolonged concentration.
Anticipating your opponent's shot engages the prefrontal cortex - a part of the brain used for strategic planning and decision making.
Increased evidence supports a link between playing ping pong and the prevention or reduction of dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
The aerobic exercise of ping pong stimulates the hippocampus - the part of your brain responsible for forming and retaining long-term facts and information.
Increasing the flow of blood to your brain increases your motor skills and cognitive awareness.
Playing ping pong develops mental acuity, alertness, concentration and tactical strategy.
Rallies and practice improves your hand-eye coordination, balance and reflexes.
The low-impact but physical nature of ping pong improves leg, arm and core strength without the high risk of injuries.
The bursts of exertion and recovery in ping pong burns plenty of calories.

DIY Artwork
The original HERO outdoor table tennis table was designed as a blank canvas for public art. Since 2010, POPP and its customers have commissioned hundreds of local artists to create ‘artworked’ POPP tables across the world.
Through creative, visual story-telling, public spaces have been redefined, reinvigorated and reimagined with playable art. First launched by POPP in Australia, the playable art concept has seen the company collaborate on an array of art projects - from Nike’s Headquarters and the Olympic Games to local community schools and neighbourhood parks.
Today, POPP supports its customers in creating authentic, unique and community-driven DIY Artwork for their table.

Why is outdoor table tennis a hit in schools?
Because playing outdoor table tennis makes students healthier, happier and more productive. It offers...
Spontaneous Active Play
POPP outdoor ping pong tables are weatherproof and permanent for year-round use. Their fixed net and equipment holder (for racquets and balls) provide opportunities for spontaneous active play and unstructured recreation before, during and after school.A Mind Booster
Outdoor ping pong is both inherently physical and a brain game. For students, it might feel like a fun break from the classroom - but the game develops hand-eye coordination, balance and mental alertness - and this means better neuromuscular skill and decision making, increased concentration (back in the classroom and improved tactical strategy for players.Exercise in Disguise
Ping pong is infectiously fun - 800 million players worldwide agree! But it’s also a sport that is deceptively physical - think bursts of energy, aerobic exercise, improved reflexes and increased core strength.For the Sporty + Not-So-Sporty
Ping pong is universally enjoyed. At the heart of its appeal is a ‘pick up and play’ simplicity - where age, ability and skill level are no barrier to having a game. Add to that - it’s a low impact sport without a high risk of injuries.No Gender Boundaries
While ping pong is played in nearly as many countries as soccer(!), its small table size and light racquets create a level playing field across genders. This is a game where power is matched equally by creativity, spin and tactics - and positive, social interactions are par for the course.
Want more out of your POPP table? The ICON table has been designed as a canvas for DIY Artwork
Create an engaging space with an artworked table tennis table. Whether you work with an art class for a truly school-driven active art piece, commission a local artist or apply the school motto or emblem, artwork can be applied to the surface of your POPP table.
