Headline: UNCAPTIONED: How tennis can serve you in all aspects of life
Caption: To coincide with Wimbledon, fitness and wellness expert Penny Weston has shared the sport's many benefits. Socialisation "Tennis is great because not only do you get a good workout in, but you also spend time socialising - both of which are great for boosting our serotonin and endorphin levels.” Whether it is singles or doubles, there will always be someone else involved. Hand-eye coordination Tennis requires good timing, being able to recognise where the ball is going to land and reacting quickly. “You are also having to keep your eye on the ball at all times.” Hand-eye coordination is especially important for children, as it can be the foundation for learning to write, read, draw, get dressed and play games. Fitness Tennis is a full-body workout which requires you to use strength, speed, and stamina. Whereas running and jumping will tone the muscles in your lower body, such as the quads. Not only does tennis increase muscle mass, but it also targets our cardiovascular system too. Stress relief "Tennis is such a good sport for stress relief and improving your mood as it can change the levels of chemicals in our brain such as stress hormones and endorphins. Tennis has also been proven to help with anxiety and depression. Weight loss Playing tennis can definitely help you lose weight as our muscles are being toned at the same time as improving our cardio.
