Played on a smaller court with a perforated polymer ball and solid paddles, pickleball provides excellent cardiovascular exercise with lower joint impact than tennis. The sport involves quick lateral movements, overhead shots, and rapid volleys at the net. Pickleball is accessible to players of all ages and fitness levels while still providing a challenging workout for experienced athletes.
