Choose sportswear for playing padel
Many people think that once they have bought a great pala, they are already prepared for the game of padel, but this is not the case. With a pala, a racquet for playing padel, we strike the ball ourselves, but to get to the perfect point of impact, we must be completely confident in the shoes. What’s more, it has to be perfect!
The right trainers will make you feel more confident on the padel court and help minimise the chance of injury.
Padel trainers
The first thing to look for when choosing padel trainers is the sole of the shoe. Non-professional courts most often use sand as a surface, you need to take this into account. Pay attention also to the depth of the sole pattern, high relief shoes in this case is an advantage. To avoid injuries, it is very important to choose the right size.
Clothing for the game of padel
Firstly, it should look good, because if you feel confident in a particular shape – it’s already great. Secondly, the clothes should be as comfortable as possible. When you move around the court, nothing should not restrain your movements.
The main requirements for sports uniforms for padel:
Breathability.Padel is a dynamic game, so it is important that no chafing occurs.
If the game is played outdoors, the uniform should be waterproof and quick-drying in case of rain;
Loose fit. Clothing should not constrict movement, it is important to choose the optimal size. If any part of the body is too tight, all the fun of playing padel can be lost. If the clothing is too tight fitting, there may be difficulties with blood circulation in the body.
Women’s uniforms for padel can vary: for example, short dresses combined with polo shirts are welcome. You can also complement the shirt with breeches or shorts, but when choosing breeches, pay attention to the presence of a pocket for the ball. A combined variant is acceptable: a skirt over breeches.
Men’s uniforms are most often shorts, as for tennis, or long trousers plus a T-shirt.
If you have made a mistake with the choice of uniform and it makes you uncomfortable when playing, you should think about changing it.
