- Cardiovascular Endurance: The fast pace of paddle tennis requires constant movement and rapid sprinting, which elevates the heart rate, improving cardiovascular fitness and increasing a person's aerobic endurance. Regular paddle tennis can reduce the risk of heart disease, improve circulation, and regulate blood pressure.
- Improved coordination and reflexes: The court in padel is smaller than in tennis, requiring faster reactions when making returns. This improves hand-eye coordination and reflexes, as you need to anticipate your opponent's shots and react within milliseconds.
- Strength and muscle tone: Although padel looks like a cardio workout, it is also great for building strength and muscle tone, especially in the lower body. Lateral movements, squats and fast sprints work the muscles of the legs, glutes and core. The upper body is trained through racket swings, net and overhead strokes, strengthening the arms, shoulders and back.
- Suitable for all ages: Padel can be played by all ages as it adapts well to the rhythm of the players. You can set the level and intensity of the game.
- Helps reduce stress: Like any physical activity, paddle boarding can help reduce stress and anxiety. The physical activity and social interaction required by playing paddle boarding can help you relax and improve your mental health.
- No weather restrictions: Padel courts are often closed, so weather conditions do not interfere with play.
- Helps you focus on your goals: Playing paddle is a great tool for mental discipline and focusing on your goals.
- Team game: Padel is usually played in pairs, making it a social game that promotes camaraderie and team spirit.
- Calorie Burning: Intense paddle play is a great way to burn calories. An hour of play can burn between 750 and 1,000 calories.
- Improves sleep: After intense paddling, you may feel tired and need to sleep better.
Paddle is a comprehensive sport that is beneficial for both physical and mental health.
