Which muscle groups are most worked in padel?

Padel is a sport that provides significant benefits in terms of muscle work, although it may not be as complete as other sports, such as swimming. It is an excellent way of improving muscle strength, especially in the lower limbs, upper limbs and core area.

Lower limbs: During a game of padel, players perform running, squatting, jumping and changing direction movements. These involve the leg muscles, including the quadriceps, hamstrings, calves and glutes. Therefore, this is an effective modality for developing strength and endurance in the legs.

Upper limbs: Using the racket and performing volleys and smashes involves the muscles in the arms, shoulders and pectorals.

Core: Stability is fundamental in padel, and this involves strengthening the core muscles, such as the abdominals and lower back. A strong core is essential for maintaining correct posture and improving performance on the court.

In addition, the strategic nature of this sport also stimulates the mind. Players need to think quickly, make tactical decisions and anticipate their opponents' movements. This has a positive impact on concentration, mental agility and hand-eye coordination.
