Recent research shows that pickleball improves cardiovascular fitness, memory, decision-making, longevity and more.

However, other studies are exposing a scary truth - pickleball injuries are running rampant.

Ches Jones, an injury control researcher at the University of Arkansas, says he’s never seen anything like it. Medical costs from Pickleball injuries approached $400 million in 2023 alone!

Conveniently, Jones proposes a common sense solution that he’s seen dramatically reduce injury rates:

1. Warm up before you play

2. Add strength & mobility training to boost muscle & joint support

3. Gradually ramp up your playing time

But how do you warmup for pickleball? What sort of strength & mobility workouts are best? How do you know if you’re pushing yourself too hard?

Well, we have some exciting news…

Want to Chase Down That Impossible Shot? Here's How!

You know that one pickleball shot that's just out of reach? It’s the worst—mostly because your opponent suddenly feels like a pickleball pro. The more court you can cover, the harder it is for them to land that winner!

So, what’s the secret to boosting your court coverage? Power training.

Power is all about delivering maximum force in the shortest amount of time—basically, it’s what helps you zip across the court like a ninja. The best players in the world specifically train for it, and you can too!

Research shows that power training improves your sprinting, jumping, and change of direction (Cronin & Hansen, 2005).

Whether you're a seasoned gym-goer or new to power training, we've got your back! Check out our blog for your complete power training guide.
