Sports and Fitness
Tennis is a very exciting and popular sport. It can help improve your overall fitness, and provide you with hours and hours of enjoyment. You can play the sport alone, with just one opponent, or you can play tennis in doubles. You often see tennis professionals competing on live television telecasts, and they make it look so easy. The sport looks easy because professionals play full time tennis, and they have the opportunity to practice every single day. However, if you are just picking up the sport, you will quickly realize that it’s not an easy sport at all. If you are not mentally prepared, you may even give up the sport altogether. Here are some tips on how to get you started with tennis fitness training. Tennis basic rules. The rules of tennis are simple. You can play the game in sets of three, or sets of five. The player who wins the most sets, will win the match. In each set, there are a total of 6 games. To win a set, the tennis player must win more than 3 games. If both players win the same number of games (e.g. 6-6), this forces a tie breaker. The set will continue until a player has won at least 2 games more than the opponent. In each game, a sequence of points will be played. For beginners, the scoring system may seem a little confusing. The first point will be recorded as 0-15, the second point as 0-30, and the third point as 0-40 (game point). If the player goes on and scores a forth point, he or she wins the game. Again, if both are tied at 40-40, there will be a deuce. The deuce will continue until one player wins at least 2 points ahead of the competition. To score a point in the game, a player must use the tennis racket to hit the ball before the ball bounces twice. The goal is to hit the ball back into the opponent’s court. Of course, the tennis ball must land within the boundaries of the court. If it’s a singles game, the inner lines at the side mark the boundaries. If it’s a doubles game, the outer lines at the side mark the boundaries. You can use a variety of tennis strokes to score in the game. These include the fore hand stroke, the back hand stroke, the overhead stroke. If you hit the ball before it touches the ground, it’s called a volley. Tennis is a great sport for fitness training because you have to run and move around in the court to play the game. The movements involve exercising your arms and legs. You also get a great cardiovascular workout. You don’t need a lot of equipment to get started with the sport. Just a basic tennis racket, some tennis clothing and a pair of tennis shoes and you are good to go.
