Hill training. Nothing's easier. No need for a gym or specific equipment. For hill training whether on grass or hard, there are a large number of exercises easily performed alone or in pairs to improve our power during matches. padel.

First of all, it is important to distinguish between a physical preparation of the season and a routine training.

Before the season

We will work much more violently to gain muscle, speed, endurance and above all power. There are many exercises to perform alone or with two. Personally I advise to do exercises for two reasons: you encourage yourself, you suffer together, you exceed your limits. If you can do your season preparation with your gaming partner, the better your union will be.

In this video, here are several exercises offered on the hill by American football players. Even if in the end this sport is very different from padel, pre-season physical preparation joins that of our sport.

During the season

Once the season has started or to refine this preparation, we can work uphill but with specific exercises for the padel : short movements, chasing steps, bending, running in reverse, accelerating, jumping, there are a lot of them that you can find everywhere on the canvas and even with a little imagination, that you can yourself create.

Here's a video of an example of climbing exercises that you can easily do, no matter what your level.

The training on the hill is a good complement to your usual training and does not come cheap if you do it yourself. Be careful when training alone or with your partner to think about informing someone else of your training place. Also do not engage in too complicated exercises if you do not know your body well. Advanced exercises are recommended under the supervision of a professional.
