Is tennis the best sport for all-round athletic performance?

also good for getting you kid involved in sports because there's really no threat of a concussion unless your kid really has absolutely no coordination but then life was going to give them a concussion anyway

Boxers are on some other shit when it comes to all around athletic performance. I would put them slightly over tennis players.

>get back into tennis, go to play with some people
>guy's serve is so fast I can't even return it

It's great until you get that asshole. Playing casually for fun is way better than getting competitive, because then you just hit it to where the guy can't get to and the matches are boring.

Boxing for sure.

Unless you don't want brane damage

I don't see why that's a bad thing. Only 1% of people are ambidextrous.

I play with a friend but we don't really play. We just hit the ball back and forth over the net.
Tennis is pretty shit when you have to stop every few seconds.

>>38653896
Soccer's got all of that too.

>>38653896
mma beats it for intensity, but yeah, tennis is pretty solid.

>>38653896
Rowing is better.

It's literally just the same motion over and over again and people pretend its a sport? Kek

>>38656055
Seconding rowing. Its the most painful sport in the world. Also the best for cardiovascular+strength training at the same time.

>>38656113
>what is running

>>38656400
it just takes everything out of me. After giving 100% in a 2k or even 10k tests on the erg Im more exhausted than ever. after the first 2 minutes or so of a race I just reach this wall of pain that persists until the race is done.

rowing requires a manlet to boss you around. beta as fuck.

>>38656639
