The practice of padel is currently a bit blocked in France. But in other countries like Spain, the padel is always practiced with effective and well-respected health protocols.

Very little risk of contamination

The Canary Islands federations racket sports, including that of padel, issued a press release in which several arguments allow us to draw positive conclusions about the practice of padel in times of health crisis.

  • Efficient and meticulously observed health protocols in health clubs padel allow to practice this sport without being in contradiction with the health standards of the government.
  • No contamination on a court of padel has not been identified by the “Canary Islands Government”While the activity is authorized in this territory.
  • According to the Spanish Ministry of Health, only 0,28% of the clusters were associated with sports activities (including contact sports).

It thus seems fair enough to state that le padel would involve very little risk as to the transmission of the virus.

Le padel would even be recommended in this period

In a context of compliance with the rules of physical distancing, many individuals suffer from prolonged isolation. The mental health of populations is greatly affected, sometimes it causes far more damage than the virus itself.

Governments are gradually starting to address this issue. Therefore, the practice of padel would even be encouraged at this time.

Sport has been recognized as an activity with many mental health benefits. It helps in particular to fight against isolation, anxiety and depression (the italian series In the name of the padel addresses these topics in particular).

Le padel presenting a very low risk of contamination, it is then positioned as a confidence sport, which helps maintain physical activity.

This last argument partly explains the exponential growth in interest aroused by the padel since the start of the health crisis in Argentina, where this market is booming.
