I’ve become a Pickleball addict, and came across this study on the benefits from Apple. A bit dated, but thought it could be of interest to other members.

I play with lots of people who have restricted mobility. They play a game which emphasizes ball placement, strategy and swing technique. They can actually be quite good. I also see many people with knee braces. It seems to be one of the few sports where these kind of issues can be compensated for. The games are usually segregated according to novice, intermediate, or advanced ability. That helps a lot. Also, having the right footwear helps. There is an 85 year old guy at the club who cannot move that well, but he hits with a viscous spin, so he wins his share of games.
For me, when I started, I certainly felt it. But now, I often play for four hours and basically feel nothing. Except for the feel of a good cardio workout. One off the big advantages of the sport is that you can play and have fun at most levels of athletic ability.
EDIT - Not saying it’s risk free. I’ve seen others with knee and other injuries. Including some younger players.

What happened today? Maybe the market is mourning Bill Walton?

Including some younger players. Yes it’s fun and easier than tennis but its also the #1 cause of Achilles tendon injuries among older folks. My advice would be to stretch before during and after. Also, eye protection is a good idea.

Any elderly 3.5 4.5 Tennis players here? It’s my second playable passion besides Skiing. Imo pickleball is a racket literally. Very noisy playing inside with the constant klack klack klack. Good healthy exercise though
