When is pickleball more than just a game? When it can potentially help seniors with their reflexes, balance and decision making.
A pilot program in Maine aims to see how older pickleball players respond to training to improve visual processing, audio processing, reflex speed and decision-making speed.
The pilot program comes as pickleball’s popularity surges among people of all ages — NBA basketball star LeBron James is now part owner of a major league pickleball team, football great Tom Brady is also buying an expansion team — and there’s heightened interest in ways to strengthen our bodies physically and mentally as we age.
New data published in JAMA Neurology found that just walking a lot more could cut people’s risks of developing dementia.Meanwhile, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said regular physical activity can also reduce the risk of cognitive decline, including dementia. One study found that cognitive decline is almost twice as common among adults who are inactive compared to those who are active.
The pilot program has 12, two-hour sessions over the course of six weeks. There are 10 participants, a mix of men and women. All are over 55 years old.
