So, if you’re a beginner, why exactly should you play tennis? Well, there are plenty of reasons why, but we have 10 great ones right here for you.
10 Reasons to Play Tennis
- Your Risk of Death from Any Cause is Cut in Half
For those who play tennis three hours per week at moderate intensity, your risk of heart disease drops a staggering 56%. If you just play tennis for three hours per week, your overall risk of death from any cause is cut in half. Compared to other sports, those who play tennis have the lowest incidence of cardiovascular disease.
- Burns More Calories Than You’d Think
Who doesn’t love a good workout, right? Tennis can give you that. Playing a competitive match can actually burn more calories than inline skating, aerobics or cycling. One hour of play equals anywhere between 580-870 calories burned, making it a fantastic way to burn fat and lose some weight while maintaining higher levels of cardiovascular health.
- Improves Agility, Balance and Coordination
Your agility will improve because you’ll be forced to change direction as many as five times in 10 seconds during a single point. You can also improve your balance, coordination and reaction time. The use of touch shots like angled volleys, drop shots and lobs can help improve your fine motor skills.
- Builds Strong Bones and Muscles
There is improved bone strength! This helps young players who are growing, along with older players who are at a higher risk for osteoporosis. The conditioning effects promote overall health, fitness and resistance to disease that benefits your immune system.
- Boosts Brain Power
New connections between nerves in your brain could be generated since tennis requires alertness and tactical thinking. According to a study, kids who play tennis regularly get better grades thanks to the enhancement in the neural connections in your brain. Remember when it seemed like you’d never use geometry and physics in real life? Well, this is the opportunity to do so since tennis is a sport based on angles.
- Develops Positive Personality Characteristics
When it comes to developing positive personality characteristics, tennis beats out inline skating, golf and most other sports. A study showed that tennis players scored higher in optimism, vigor and self-esteem, while scoring lower in anger, confusion, anxiety and depression compared to those who don’t play.
- Reduces Stress
Tennis allows your capacity to deal with stress to increase since it includes mental, physical, emotional and social challenges. It’s a great outlet that combines all aspects of wellness in one activity.
- Improves Social Skills and Builds Relationships
There are usually tennis courts all over the place, you don’t need a lot of equipment and it’s an activity for the whole family to participate in. Through team play, league play and doubles play, tennis develops a player’s ability to communicate and work together, building teamwork and sportsmanship.
- Promotes Long-Term Health and Fitness
Tennis is a fantastic form of aerobic fitness, helping you burn fat, improve cardiovascular health and then maintain higher levels. The conditioning effects promote overall health, fitness and resistance to disease.
- It’s Called the “Sport of a Lifetime” for a Reason
Tennis is accessible at any age and skill level, making it a sport you can enjoy throughout your entire life. Whether you’re seven or seventy, there’s a place for you on the court.
This all sounds great, doesn’t it? If only there was a way to take advantage of something so you can improve on the court…
Everyone who attends one of our camps gets 30 hours of instruction, an opportunity for one-on-one attention with some of the best coaches in the industry, mental edge training, conditioning and nutritional programs.
