They say tennis is a game for a lifetime, and now science has the evidence to prove it. According to a study conducted by the Harvard University School of Public Health, people who participate in tennis three hours per week (at moderatly vigorous intensity) cut their risk of death in half from any cause. And scientists at the University of Illinois report that playing tennis may generate new connections in the brain, due to the level of alertness and tactical thinking the sport requires.
