For a tt you don’t need a lot of strength training, if your main sport is tt. So better keep most accent on thati think some understated benefits of additional exercise for table tennis are increased endurance for long tournament days/weekends, injury prevention, and addressing the imbalances created from playing a highly-repetitive game centered around a dominant hand/side.
some grouping/variations of push ups, pull ups, squats would make a difference for many people who don't do these exercises and benefits transfer over to everyday life.
i think riding a bike is beneficial and easier on the body to incorporate into a routine than running for example. jumprope/agility ladder also good imo.
always an argument over how much strength is needed for the game, but I don't think the overall benefits should even be a question, only the opportunity cost of time/training compared to more table time/practice when planning a routine
Two times a week full body (or split them to one lower body/one upper body) - short trainings for about 30 min each, going 50-70% of your max on those, not overdoing and over complicating on them. This should be enough for 99% of people
