💥What an event the first Padel World Summit held at the Palacio de Ferias y Congresos in Malaga🎾
World Congress, B2B Expo, talks, handshakes, meetings, and an ocean of emotions hard to describe in a single post.🌊
First of all, I want to send my deepest congratulations with true ammiration to Alex Ponseti. You realized, organized and managed an international event which gathered many people from different places in the world brought together by passion for padel. Then I wish to express a sincere gratitudine to every single person of the summit organization staff who made me feel sustained.🙌🏼
On Tuesday 21st I had a speech about injuries in padel and preventive measures together with Wesley Teixeira and Mike May at the Room 1 of the Congress.☀️
The audience was asked to raise their hand if they had ever had an injury playing padel and everyone raised it🤕 It was the confirmation that I was in the right place.
The roundtable format of the session gave us the chance to interact diretly with them answering their questions about how to treat, solve and prevent the injuries recently experienced.
I had the honour and the pleasure to share part of my knowledge which I’ve been discovering and applying to padel players to take care of them.
Ankle sprain, elbow pain, muscular problems were the main topics come out. They allowed me to state that those common injuries, together with other ones, are not natural when we play padel, a sport or a game which is super fun!💡
Padel is a high-intensity (or medium-intensity, at the beginning) intermittent sport, with high/medium action speed and sudden changes in direction of the balls, and of our body movements and displacements. Sprints, rotations, inversions, accelerations, decelerations and stops. Features of a high physical demand for the players, representing some of the risk factors for injuries, especially for untrained players.💥
So, do padel players and people willing to start playing padel need fondamental physical requirements (not only technical) to play pain-free, avoid the most common injuries, have more fun, steadily enhance their performance on court and win more matches?🙋🏻♂️
Yes, yes, yes and yes!🎾💪🏼🌟
The more fatigue you feel, the less body balance and reaction time you have. As a consequence, injuries occur, performance drops and victories vanish.🕵🏻
If you are a player padel training with a coach is necessary and useful. What about padel-specific physical training?💪🏼
My PAT (Padel Athletic Training) method and OPT4Padel (ONLINE PADEL TRAINING 4 Padel players) program are the solutions I’ve seen, created, developed and applied to and with padel players.🎾
An injury prevention action is necessary nowadays. The benefits go also far beyond: healthier body, more joy on court and faster recovery time between matches.🥳
Soon I’ll share more news about this innovative and valuable service.
