Moving from tennis in padel: a guide for adult players
A tennis player crowding the net as if the glass were not there. The useful decision is whether the next gym session should support moving from tennis, or protect the next match.
What this situation asks
A tennis player crowding the net as if the glass were not there. That setting asks for recalibrating spacing, overhead choices and the gym week to a doubles cage, not copying the old tennis block. This is a reading of the sport, not a sets-and-reps prescription.
The next-session trade-off
A reasonable option is to keep the strength habit, but change the court example you organise it around. The trade-off is clear: assuming tennis fitness transfers cleanly usually shows up as late first steps after the glass.
