Hi Everyone.  My name is Richard Prause and I’d like to share some tips with you for a productive and efficient practice for the table tennis robot AMICUS.

Today we are focusing on interval training.  With this training form, you will get really fast on your feet.  Your reaction and arm acceleration will further improve as will your footwork.  This sort of interval training is highly intensive and an important of aspect of moving more explosively in our fast-paced sport.

Remember the faster you play the shorter your movements.  Always return the racket to a neutral position in front of you and above the table.  The neutral stance is centered at your body line.
