One of the best things about the sport of tennis are the health benefits recognized by everyone who gets out and plays the game. Improved cardio vascular health, better muscle tone, weight loss and much more...regardless of a players age.
The United States Professional Tennis Association, in which several of our members participate, recently announced the launch of Tennis-Health.com, a web site supporting the Tennis – for the health of it! initiative. This free, interactive Web site targets teaching professionals, tennis consumers, health-care professionals, and non-tennis playing consumers. Its goal is to communicate the tremendous health benefits of tennis and that tennis is fun, easy, exercise for people of all skill, age and fitness levels.
Tennis-health.com is free and features numerous resources for each market/demographic that include video tips and articles on exercises, injury prevention and nutrition tips specific to tennis, links to DVDs and books, information on how to find local events and teaching professionals, etc. The interactive portion allows people to log in to a private area to record their personal statistics, track how often they play tennis/exercise each week and monitor their weight loss and health goals.
