Tennis is a very popular sport, more and more people like to play tennis, it is a ball game suitable for everyone. But compared with table tennis and badminton, tennis has only become popular in recent years.
When we really want to start learning to play tennis, we often find that we don't even know what the most basic equipment is. So, let's take a look at what equipment you need when playing tennis, and get ready to start.
1. Tennis racket
For beginners to buy tennis rackets, it is recommended to choose according to their own economic conditions. The important thing is to pay attention to the quality of the racket and choose the racket according to your ability and physique. Beginners can choose a racket with a light head. In this way, the speed of hitting the ball is fast, and it is easy to find the feeling. It is also more aggressive in the future, and it is more labor-saving to learn.
2. Sports shoes
A good pair of sports shoes is naturally indispensable for sports. When playing tennis, you need to run back and forth. No other shoes are more suitable for sports than sports shoes. There are also special tennis shoes that can prevent many injuries. Be careful to choose thicker soles, not too thin, so as not to hurt your feet.
3. Wrist guards
For beginners, if you do not master the skills of this sport, you will be easily injured, and the main parts of the injury are the wrists and elbows, so you can carry wrist guards and elbow guards to further protect your body.
4. Sweat-absorbent towel
Tennis needs to consume a lot of physical strength. If you play for a long time, you will be very tired and sweaty, so it is best to bring a sweat-absorbing towel to wipe the sweat in time to prevent sweat from entering the eyes and affecting further exercise.
5. Tennis shorts/tennis skirt
On the men's side, 7" or 5" shorts are best because tennis doesn't have as many jumps and usually 10" basketball shorts are not comfortable to wear on the tennis court. There seems to be a wide variety of women's tennis dresses on the market, just make sure you have pockets in the clothes you own.
Tennis is a sport that requires active running on the court. The amount of exercise is relatively large, so sometimes it is easy to get injured. So what should you pay attention to when playing tennis? Let's take a look.
1. Select a qualified venue
We need to choose a qualified venue to play tennis, because tennis has high requirements on the venue, and the ground of the venue is uneven and too smooth, which can easily cause accidents such as falls. At present, concrete tennis courts are more common, cost-effective but the ground is too hard, and the level of accidental injury will be higher. There is also a carpet tennis court, the most obvious advantage is convenience and safety.
2. Warm up before exercise
Before playing tennis, remember to stretch the ligaments well, which will help reduce sports injuries, and remember to focus on preheating the lower limbs, waist, and arms. Generally speaking, it takes about 10 minutes to warm up in summer and about 20 minutes in winter.
3. Correct grip
When we play tennis, we must hold the racket correctly. No matter what kind of grip method we use, we must make sure that the wrist holding the racket is firmly fixed, almost 90 degrees to the racket, so that the power of the arm and even the whole body can be transmitted through the wrist when hitting the ball. On the racket surface, swing the other arm in the opposite direction to maintain balance as you lead the racket backwards.
