Échauffements de padel et prévention des blessures
Échauffements de padel chronométrés de cinq et dix minutes, un retour au calme et des routines simples pour le coude du padel, les épaules, les genoux et les…
Five-minute court warm-up
For when the court before yours runs late: a fast, complete warm-up that gets legs, shoulders and touch ready in five minutes.
Ten-minute court warm-up
The full warm-up before a match or a lesson: raise your heart rate, move every joint you will use, then find your touch before you hit hard.
Warm-up before the gym or home work
Eight minutes to get warm before strength or conditioning work off the court.
Cool-down after playing
Seven minutes after the last point: bring your heart rate down and stretch what padel tightens most.
Elbow
Pain on the outside of the elbow is common in padel, often from a tight grip, late contact on backhands or a sudden jump in how much you play.
Shoulder
Overheads and serves load the shoulder again and again. A little strength work for the small muscles that steady it goes a long way.
Knee
Padel is full of short sprints, lunges and quick stops. Strong hips and thighs protect the knee, and good shoes do the rest.
Calf and Achilles
All that time on your toes loads the calves and the Achilles tendon, more so on hard courts and in hot weather.
