Why is Padel so Healthy for you?

The main health benefits of padel

As you have already read above, it is not only physically beneficial but also for your brain.

• Your brain is challenged to calculate various things such as where the ball will land and at what speed. You can also use the walls, so this is an extra thing to take into account. The difference with tennis is that with padel a rally can last longer and it is more accessible for everyone because less technique is needed. This means that your brain has to stay focused longer and therefore also gets more training.

• Concentration is stimulated by dopamine and adrenaline. This is because you can experience more success with padel. This is because padel can be played by everyone. With every rally you take on a new challenge to hit the ball back. New challenges mean more chemicals like dopamine and adrenaline. This is also the experience of many people who start and also practice padel for a longer period of time.

• Fewer injuries. While playing padel we see that there are fewer injuries than with tennis and squash. This is partly because you have to run less, for example, because you are on one side with 2 players. So you have a smaller piece to cover than with tennis, so that, for example, your knees are not loaded as much. The racket blade is also closer to your wrist and elbow, so that there is less stress there. Padel can therefore also be performed well for players with injury sensitivity and older players.

• If you want to burn some extra calories, you can also go padel. It is an intensive sport. You are really busy all the time (unless you have a break). A match can consist of long rallies and a lot of movement.
