Not all retirement communities are created equal. This article will take a look at a few possible suggestions for finding the right retirement community that fits you best. Some of the most popular retirement activities are golfing, bowling, tennis, racquetball and shuffleboard. If this is your idea of an active sport then you will want to make sure that you have these amenities either in your retirement community or nearby. You may find that it’s much more affordable to find a nice active adult retirement community. That is nearer some your more popular areas like the golf course and tennis court. If you end up in a community that has these with on the premise in their private you’re going to pay a much higher fee. If money is of no concern and of course you should probably look to find a retirement community perhaps in the state of Florida or California that might accommodate you in your activities. Although the fees will be much higher for this type of community the privacy and exc …

Tennis elbow is very common and also very treatable. In the game of tennis, tennis elbow is generally caused when a player uses bad body mechanics or incorrect equipment weight/sizes or a combination of the both. Basically if you play tennis regularly with a racquet that is too heavy for your arm and you strike the ball using incorrect technique you could cause a repetitive stress injury. Technically, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) defines tennis elbow as a degenerative condition of the tendon fibers on the outside of the elbow. These tendons are responsible for anchoring the muscles that extend or lift the wrist and hand. AAOS statistics show that while it occurs mostly in patients aged 30-50 it can and does occur in all age groups. As many as half of athletes in racquet sports (tennis, squash, racquetball) are affected - and there is not usually a specific trauma reported that sets off the symptoms. That means it can sneak up on you before you ever figure out yo …

You really want to protect your ankles from rolling and spraining when playing or practicing. These sports require a lot of lateral movement, sprinting, stop and go, lunging, and a lot of back and forth movement. Whether it is a mid shoe or low shoe, I really don’t believe it matters. Many people think you need a mid to high top shoe for more support. I don’t believe that. Even Basketball Superstar Kobe Bryant is wearing low-top shoes to play Pro Basketball. Support rather than height is paramount. For support reasons in racquetball, squash, tennis, pickleball, and badminton, a low-cut shoe can be just as good as a “mid” as “high-top” as these three features are the most important part of that shoe: Here are three things you can look for when you are choosing a good supportive shoe that will help prevent your ankle from rolling and causing bad injury: 1. How hard is the heel? If you can squeeze with one hand fairly easily and the top of the rear touches each other you may not have a s …

Before this point, the history of tennis is the history of a completely different game real tennis. Real tennis is played on indoor courts. In fact, real tennis cannot be played outside the players use the angled walls of a real tennis court to strategically hit and return the ball to their opponents. Yes, real tennis his very similar to today s modern tennis, or lawn tennis, but only in the same way that handball, badminton, croquet, and racquetball are similar to lawn tennis! That is why I choose to start my history of tennis at the point in which lawn tennis diverged from real tennis, and this happened in the 1850 s. It was in the 1850 s that Charles Goodyear, of Goodyear tire fame, invented vulcanized rubber. Vulcanized rubber is a process that prevents natural rubber from deteriorating so quickly (without the vulcanization process, natural rubber could deteriorate within just a few days.) So, with the vulcanization of rubber came rubber tennis balls. The rubber tennis bal …
