Parkinson’s is a progressive brain disease in which nerve cells gradually die. Boxing legend Muhammad Ali had been suffering from this incurable disease for 32 years. Exercise can slow down Parkinson’s disease. Table tennis is particularly useful. Two world champions from Carinthia and Upper Austria report.
“When you get such a diagnosis from a doctor, you have two options: you despair or you fight. I decided to fight!”, says former “Wetten, dass..?” presenter Frank Elstner, who wrote the book “Dan I just tremble” about his illness. One way to fight: play table tennis. Even though there are few scientific studies yet, one thing seems certain: this sport can slow the progression of Parkinson’s disease.
