Benefits of Cardiopadel

Padel, as we all know, is a very new sport. It has only been known in Spain for about 8 years, and the real "boom" started about four years ago, when the sport truly became well-known. In this time, padel has achieved incredible success, becoming the second most practiced sport in Spain, after soccer. This great success is due to how social it is, and especially to the fact that it is not too physically demanding.

Now, people are also starting to train from a very young age, which means they are making a strong impact, and physical fitness is very important in this sport at high levels.

For this reason, the new sport called CARDIOPADEL has been created.

What is cardiopadel?

It is a training modality that consists of improving physical capabilities, and primarily endurance, through circuits or stations. The most fun part is that it is continuously accompanied by music throughout the entire session.

This way, we will improve our physical capacity and endurance in a fun way. These sessions last approximately 45 minutes.

How many people are involved in cardiopadel?

This modality is performed in groups of a minimum of 3 people and a maximum of 8 people. It should also be noted that this modality is intended for men and women of all ages.

What tools are used in cardiopadel?

For this modality, many training accessories are used, such as resistance bands, belts with resistance bands, agility ladders, cones, bosus, etc.

Let's give a brief explanation of what each of these items is used for:

-Resistance bands: with these, we exercise the arm muscles in a non-aggressive way.

-Belt with Resistance Bands: this item is attached to the side fence of the court, making it harder to get to the net, which helps work on leg power, quadriceps, and calves. This means that when we don't wear the belt, mobility around the court becomes much easier.

- Agility ladder: this is used for leg agility, and several exercises can be done with it. This item can be combined with exercises using the belt with resistance bands, making the exercise itself more demanding.

-Bosu: this product is very good because the goal is to try to volley and hit shots while standing on it, which works the balance a lot, as it is very unstable. This product is used by most professional players.

In short, our favorite sport is becoming increasingly competitive, and therefore, we need to be increasingly physically prepared to achieve optimal results in our game. This discipline is an opportunity to prepare physically, without it becoming too burdensome and in a very fun way.
