Increases Bone Density
Tennis is one of best exercises for building bones. Pickleball uses many of the same moves as tennis. Pickleball can increase bone density by forcing individuals to work against the gravity. These exercises are best for bones because they are weight bearing. In many studies, the exercise-induced bone growth of tennis players was documented. This was particularly true in the hips and lumbar spinal regions. Exercise is important for osteoporosis and seniors. Pickleball and other activities that promote muscle strength and coordination help seniors avoid falls and fractures.
