What is Pickleball?

Fast becoming one of the most popular racket sports in the world, pickleball , brings together some of the best elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis, into a fun and exciting game for people of all ages and abilities.

 

Played on a court the same size as a badminton court – and using a shorter tennis-style net – players use paddles to hit a plastic ball between one another. You can play as both singles and doubles, and it’s a great way to exercise with friends and family or meet new people.

Health Benefits of Pickleball

Playing Pickleball is a great Cardio Workout

It’s estimated that a game of pickleball can burn up to 600 calories per hour, making it an excellent way to move your body and help keep your heart and lungs healthy.

​

Pickleball is an aerobic exercise, which means it helps:

​

  • Improve lung function

  • Control blood sugar levels

  • Regulate blood pressure

  • Improve cardiovascular conditioning

Pickleball Helps You Stay Sharp

Pickleball is a fast-paced game that requires split-second decisions.

 

Research has shown that playing pickleball can help improve your cognitive function and memory recall.

 

This quick-thinking sport will also help you improve your hand-eye coordination over time.

Pickleball is Easier
on the Joints

Compared with sports like tennis or running, pickleball puts a lot less stress on your joints and muscles.

 

Thanks to the smaller court size, pickleball players don’t have to travel as far to keep the ball in play, reducing the strain on their knees, hips, and ankles.

 

The underhand serve also minimizes muscle and joint stress, making pickleball an ideal sport for all ages.

Pickleball is Good For Your Heart

Pickleball is a highly effective cardio workout that supports heart health and may reduce heart disease risk by improving blood pressure and cholesterol.

 

A 2022 study compared 30 minutes of pickleball with 30 minutes of walking.

 

Despite taking fewer steps, pickleball players:

​

  • Had 14% higher heart rates

  • Burned 36% more calories

  • Reported 150% higher enjoyment

Playing Pickleball Can Relieve Stress

Not only is pickleball good exercise for your body, but there are some big mental health benefits of pickleball as well.

 

Like other physical activities, pickleball can give you a positive outlet when dealing with stresses that may be weighing on you.

 

Taking a break for movement and socialisation will likely leave you feeling refreshed and more able to manage those stressors.

​

Plus, aerobic activities like pickleball cause your body to release endorphins, feel-good neurotransmitters that help relieve stress and anxiety.

Pickleball is a
Social Sport

Because it requires at least two players, another health benefit of pickleball is that it’s a social sport.

 

It’s a great way to meet people and make new friends, especially if you join a club or league. Not only will you get to socialise, but you’ll also get some exercise in the process. That’s what we call a win-win.

​

What’s more, social sports like pickleball can help ward off feelings of loneliness and depression, and increased socialisation may even help you live longer.
