Health Benefits of
Tennis
By Jack L. Groppel, Ph.D.
Is it any wonder that scientists and physicians
around the world view tennis as the most healthful activity in which you can participate? There may be other sports
that can provide excellent health benefits and some which can provide mental and emotional growth. But no sport other
than tennis has ever been acclaimed from all disciplines as one that develops great benefits physically, mentally and emotionally.
Tennis is a sport for kids to learn early in
life. What parent wouldn’t want their children to get these benefits through their growing years?
Here’s the key… you must begin playing tennis
now to get these benefits throughout your lifetime. And that brings us to reason #34: Tennis is truly the sport for a lifetime!
It’s been proven.
