Padel’s Athletic Training
The technique is what you need to make a difference on the padel court. But proper athletic training is fundamental as well.
Padel is a highly dynamic sport that puts your body to the test. And you may be a champion with your racket, but if you aren’t capable of keeping up with the game’s pace, you won’t make it to the end of the match.
During a padel match, speed and acceleration are essential. And being capable of quickly recovering after intense use of your energy is fundamental. Therefore, padel’s athletic training includes both aerobic and anaerobic exercises.
The purpose is to strengthen the right muscles, avoid injuries during the game, and make you capable of playing an intense match from the beginning until the end.
