Since time indefinite, sport has always been at the center of discussions. Through evolution, disciplines have emerged, such as football, handball, karate, tennis and others.
But, depending on the sport you practice, it will be necessary to use the equipment that goes with it. Everything has a beginning, this article will talk about the equipment one needs to start playing tennis.
Tennis: what is it?
Tennis is a racket sport, which opposes two players or four players who form two teams of two. Players use a racquet strung vertically and horizontally, at a tension varying with the power or spin desired.
Like any other sport, in tennis, equipment is used that facilitates the practice of the latter or makes it more attractive.
Equipment to Start Playing Tennis
Tennis equipment must be chosen according to the level of the player, but also to his age and build. A beginner’s equipment doesn’t need to be as sophisticated as a pro’s, but it still needs to be adapted.
Rackets, like shoes or strings, are very important for maintaining a healthy physique and avoiding injury.
The Shoes
Tennis shoes, also commonly called tennis, are shoes with a low rise at the ankle, which allows this same ankle to turn and therefore have better support.
They are thus opposed to “sneakers”, which go up around the ankle to prevent it from turning during a jump or a bad reception.
The purchase of tennis should not be done lightly, for questions of comfort and safety. So, to start, you need good shoes.
Rackets
Tennis rackets must be adapted to the build of the player. Indeed, this depends not only on the age of the person, but also on his corpulence.
Let’s take a child, it is obvious that he cannot play with an adult racket. In this case, take the racket, put the racket under his arm and see if the length of the racket is equal to the length of the arm. If the answer is yes, it is suitable for the child.
Now let’s take the case of an adult: the rackets can be different, by their weight: they range from 265 to more than 350 grams when they are not strung. A man with back problems will need a racket weighing around 300 grams.
Bottles of water or energy drinks:
Good hydration is essential during sport, leisure or competition, to avoid fatigue and muscle problems.
Drink mineral water (avoid tap water, low in minerals).
Start hydrating 15 minutes before the game starts.
Don’t wait to be thirsty to drink. Drink regularly when changing sides.
