Researchers from Apple Heart and Movement Studyfounded in 2019, shared new insights regarding one of the fastest growing sports in the world: pickleball.
The study involved monitoring more than 250 thousand training sessions not only pickleball, but also tennis. In his sample, pickelball training sessions tended to last an average of 9 minutes longer than tennis training sessions, totaling 90 minutes.
Research is a vital component of our health work at Apple, and it’s important to see the science behind the physical and mental benefits of activities like pickleball and tennis in Apple Watch users.
—Dr. Sumbul Desaivice president of health at Apple.
Apple said the study used “one of the largest observational datasets of pickelball activity collected on Apple Watch.” Through it, researchers saw that pickelball’s popularity surpassed tennis practice in July 2023, following rising steadily since the study began in 2021.
The research also highlighted that tennis training tends to be seasonal, while pickelball training shows relatively constant growth throughout the year.
Tracking the growth of pickleball using Apple Watch data allows us to explore emerging trends and the activity’s effects on multiple health and wellness metrics that weren’t accessible before.
—Calum MacRaeMD, Ph.D., cardiologist, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and principal investigator of the Apple Heart and Movement Study.
Among the study’s findings is that tennis players’ hearts beat an average of 152 times per minute, compared to 143 beats per minute for pickelball players. Additionally, although pickeball and tennis drills are popular across all ages, men are more likely to practice them than women.
The Apple Heart and Movement Study is a long-term collaboration between the Cupertino giant and the Brigham and Women’s Hospitalfrom Harvard University, and the American Heart Association.
Apple says that more than 200,000 people in the United States who have consented to share their data are in the research program.
