The Dink Pickleball’s Post

Pickleball might be doing more for your mental health than your body. Back in April, a study surveyed over 18,000 recreational athletes and found that pickleball players experience depression at a rate 60% lower than the general population. The more often they played, the bigger the boost. It turns out the mix of movement, social interaction, and fun might be just as powerful as any workout routine. Why? Movement, social interaction, and fun all rolled into one. It’s not just cardio. It’s community. Another study found social sports cut depression symptoms by up to 34%. And with loneliness now considered a public health risk, that community matters more than ever. So next time you’re on the court, just know you might be doing more for your brain than you think. https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/ekGKX8xm
