Hi @Lorentz09, welcome to the community.

 

I think the closest you will get is Tennis. You could also use the workout preset and rename the finished session (although I'm not sure if this is still possible).

 

Edit---

 

Actually it does seem possible still. You will need to open the Fitbit app on your phone - tap the workout tile - tap on the "Workout" session you logged - tap the pencil icon in the top right corner - search for table tennis.

Thank you very much for the reply @N8teGee .
I think I'll follow the advice to chart ping-pong as tennis.

Regarding the modification of the workout from the APP, in my android version there is no such option. I can only cancel the activity or share it.
Thanks again for everything

Thank you for your advice, Nathan. What a coincidence - I came looking for a way to track back my ping pong activities since I've joined the club "PingPongAcademy" recently and got Sense for a Christmas. And I was really surprised that there's only a tennis option. Since, well, it's really different.

>> Tennis - an indoor or outdoor game that is played with rackets and a light elastic ball by two players or pairs of players on a level court (as of clay or grass) divided by a low net.

>> Ping pong - a game resembling tennis that is played on a tabletop with wooden paddles and a small hollow plastic ball.

I believe tracking back ping pong as tennis would work to me as well, still I hope it might be added in the future as a separate activity. Have a vote from me as I really appreciate your step by step screenshots.
