Chennai to host heart-health workshop for pickleball enthusiasts
On Chennai’s neighbourhood courts, pickleball has become its own kind of rhythm — the light thwack of paddles, lively doubles matches, and clusters of regulars who show up with the easy camaraderie of people who have found a sport that sticks. It is this everyday buzz, not a tournament scoreboard, that got preventive cardiologist Dr. Priya Chockalingam thinking.
As a player herself, she noticed how people of all ages were taking to the game with wholehearted enthusiasm — sometimes a little too wholeheartedly. “People are over-enthusiastic, which is great, but that also means they’re more prone to injuries,” she says. She has watched players skip warm-ups, push hard, pause to recover, and loop right back into the same pattern.
