how about a sport that gives you an extra 10 years of life
sounds too good to be true
science says tennis can do that...
.
.
if you watched yannik sinner
in the wimbledon final against alcaraz
you can see he is a true champion
and super healthy
but why is that...
.

a danish long-term study with over 20,000 participants
found that people who play tennis regularly live 9.7 years longer on average
thats more than badminton with an added 6.2 years
soccer with added 4.7 years
and cycling swimming and jogging
with extra 3.7 3.4 years and 3.2 years
a study of 80,000 british adults also saw tennis squash and badminton as the clear winners
but why tennis of all sports
whats so special about this sport that it makes us live so much longer

a former competitive athlete and davis cup team doctor has the answer
his name is doctor ulrich lanz
and he has years of experience with top athletes
he says
* tennis forces you to move
* like high-intensity interval training
* tennis is both like a respectful conversation and a brutal fight
* most importantly you cant play it alone
* and social interaction is generally considered an important pillar of longevity according to age research
also
* tennis trains your focus and your ability to course-correct quickly
* if you get annoyed about the last point you can you do better and win the next one
tennis challenges your brain in 3 dimensions
* hands
* feet
* eyes
everything works together
* you have to run
* hit the ball
* keep your eye on it
* and make decisions all at the same time
its the ultimate sports for entrepreneurs
* a mix of responsiveness
* hand-eye coordination
* and multitasking
that creates new connections in the nerve cells
and strengthens existing networks
the brain stays sharp and flexible at any age.
there are 80-year-olds who still play for trophies
but all that is only possible if you get the basics right
* learn the right technique in tennis
* warm up properly
* stretch after training, especially the shoulders
and keep the surface in mind
clay courts are great for beginners
because when you run after the ball
and stop abruptly
which is quite common in tennis
because when you slide a few centimeters before you actually stand still
the braking forces are distributed
and your joints are happy
.
.
and there is a bonus benefit of tennis
when you come from different sport like skiing
jannik sinner says...
in skiing you make one mistake
and you cant win the race anymore
in tennis you can make loads of mistakes
and still win the race
or the wimbledon title
oh, one last thing before you...
i was passionate about basketball
loved to see michael jordan score
but i only had the height of michael j fox
and there was no way for me to go back in time
and find a taller daddy to to inseminate my mom
so i dumped my short-lived career in basketball
rubbed my eggs on many womens’ virginias
and use the the size of my third leg
to turn into a life-long career
(my name is dirk diggler)
(i work in adult entertainment)
