Summary/Abstract: In addition to technique, the sport of table tennis also requires excellent physical abilities. Competitors must be fast and flexible, have good reaction and endurance. The basic movements of the game are fast and high intensity, requiring practitioners to be in excellent physical shape. Table tennis also develops cognitive skills. Practitioners must have a good strategy and think ahead, anticipating the opponent's moves and planning their own. This develops the ability to make the right tactical decisions and the ability to analyze the game. Although table tennis is an individual sport, it is also played in teams and in pairs. This develops the communication skills of the players as they have to work together and communicate effectively during the game. In conclusion, table tennis is a highly technical sport that requires both physical and mental skills from the players. It is accessible to all ages and can be practiced anywhere and anytime. This makes it attractive to millions of people around the world and is a wonderful means of physical education. The present study reveals the current state of technical preparation among table tennis students at UNWE. The research was conducted at the beginning and end of the 2022/2023 academic year We set ourselves the goal of comparing at the beginning and at the end of the school year the two main strokes in table tennis - palm and reverse flat stroke, by making a comparative analysis of the students participating in table tennis classes in the discipline "Physical Education and Sports" in UNWE. Tasks of the research:1. To establish the level of the following technical indicators - palm and reverse flat shot among the students, participants in the table tennis groups.2. To compare the results and establish statistically significant differences in the level of technical indicators between the two groups - control and experimental.. Based on the comparative analysis between the control and the experimental group among the table tennis students from UNWE, we can draw the following conclusion: The results and analyzes of the overall research work give reason to indicate that the teaching methods in table tennis are adequate and contribute to the effective training of students in the educational process of physical education and sports at UNWE.
