A recent survey by the United States Tennis Association shows amateur tennis players play for life. They start when they're very young and continue to play well into their retirement years. They play to unwind and to stay healthy for a lifetime. They don't play to get back problems, strained muscles, or broken bones.
A study on physical injuries resulting from tennis play was conducted by the University of Calgary, Canada. It was found that one out of two tennis players was likely to suffer a tennis injury during one 6 month season of playing. This study clearly connected tennis injuries of the lower extremities, back and groin, with two factors: the court surface and the shoe. Surfaces that allow sliding resulted in about 75% fewer injuries than surfaces which did not.
Tennis clubs can use these facts to their advantage. If you want your club members to play longer in their life, it is necessary to provide them with a tennis court surface that will reduce the risks of injury. A LEE Fast-Dry Court is your answer.
Fast-Dry courts are easier on the body than other types of courts. They are better for the back, legs, and ankles than asphalt, acrylic, and even grass. Fast-Dry is flexible, allowing a player to slide and recover under control, instead of having to slam down onto the court, absorbing the shock in every joint in the body. Doctors praise the flexibility of Fast-Dry, saying it reduces the risk of injury. Play it safe at your club, LEE Fast-Dry...making tennis playing safer.
