We also have a ping pong table at work. Aside from the the benefits of weaving some exercise into the routine of staring at screens all day, the best thing we've observed so far is that it's a social activity that requires very little setup (just pick up the paddles and go) and has a very low entry barrier (many of us either never played or did so many years ago).

The end result is that people in the team got to know each other the quickest of any place I've worked at (and new team members integrate in no time), which also resulted in people working really well together.

Funny thing is that we also have a Wii which was bought the same day as the table, but only saw playtime the first week. After that it has been collecting dust.
