Cognitive stimulation
According to several studies, table tennis is the sport that most stimulates the cognitive system, and in particular the hippocampus area which is one of the first victims of Alzheimer's disease.
Inclusion
One of the strengths of this program is the inclusion of patients in sports structures, the heart of the practice takes place in a table tennis club. Caregivers can join the group as well. This inclusive practice plays a key role in looking at the disease.
Sports practice
Access to table tennis is made in a fun way. This physical activity helps to better oxygenate the brain, improves appetite and sleep. Part of the session is intended to improve balance, in order to delay the loss of autonomy as much as possible.
