What this trial studies

This interventional study tests a 12-week adapted table tennis training program for adults with disabilities.

The program uses modified table tennis activities to accommodate varying abilities, with health outcomes assessed to understand effects on physical function and well-being. Eligibility requires medical clearance and passing safety questions on the PAR-Q+; several exclusion criteria ensure participant safety. The study is conducted at Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital in Taiwan under generic lead sponsorship.
