Tips to improve your balance and equilibrium
Balance is one of our body’s basic needs when moving.
Improving balance may not be number one on your priority list, but perhaps it should be. Body balance is in the same category as flexibility, central strength and mobility. These are all aspects that our bodies need to function effectively, but many of us don’t exercise to improve them. If you regularly exercise your padel game, you are improving your balance without even knowing it. But just because you’re exercising doesn’t mean there isn’t something you can improve.
Balance is one of those things where you don’t realise its importance until you start losing it. And for most of us, that loss comes with age. For some older people, poor balance and falls may be caused by health issues they can’t control. But for the vast majority of these people, it’s simply a matter of losing strength and the natural ability to move the way you did when you were younger, because you just don’t do it anymore.
And if you think you don’t need to take it seriously, consider that falls are the leading cause of death from injury among people aged 65 and older. And you only need a fall to spend a few weeks or months at rest to recover and regain your independence.
Padel performs many, of the functions listed earlier, at the same time:
