Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Pickleball

Participants will be encouraged to attend ≥2 pickleball sessions per week, with the YMCA offering 5 sessions per week. Sessions will last 2 hours, with participants encouraged to attend ≥1 hour. New players will receive instruction from a YMCA exercise trainer with a USA Pickleball Association Instructor Certification during sessions. At the end of each session, the YMCA trainer will note on attendance sheets whether participants engaged in training/skill development, open play, or both. Participants will be encouraged to engage in 5-10 minutes of structured warm-up exercise (i.e., walking laps around the courts and dynamic and static muscle stretches) prior to playing in each session, and they will be encouraged to perform cool-down stretches after they complete each session.
