Abstract

Whether practicing against a wall, playing singles against an opponent, or participating in a round of doubles, tennis is a great sport for practicing sound localization skills and socialization. Playing tennis helps your aerobic fitness by burning fat, improving your cardiovascular fitness, and maintaining higher energy levels. It helps your anaerobic fitness by offering short, intense bursts of activity during a point followed by rest, which helps muscles use oxygen efficiently. (Meets national standards on physical education.)
