Abstract

Table tennis is low-midlle impact, musculoskeletal injuries such as sprains, strains, and joint pain are common, especially in middle-aged and elderly players. Following two sudden cardiac arrest incidents resulting in death among members of the Table Tennis Community, this community service program aimed to improve knowledge and skills in Basic Life Support (BLS) and emergency response. A total of 40 participants took part through preparation, education, hands-on practice, and evaluation. Pre- and post-training results showed increased awareness and confidence: 42.5% felt capable of performing BLS, 90% viewed BLS as essential for the public, and 72.5% were willing to act in emergencies. Active learning through demonstration and simulation effectively strengthened participants’ BLS skills and readiness.
