Do most people wear spandex when playing tennis?

I don't, and most men I play with don't, but some of my lady friends do.

I believe you're asking about the professional tours (i.e. PGA & LPGA). The truth be told, the women's PGA is less formal and has less history than the male PGA. Therefore, men are required to wear pants because that's what everyone else did 100 years ago. Also remember that just until the 70's, wearing anything other than a skirt covering their ankles was socially prohibited for females. So, since females now have the ability to wear whatever they want (and in some cases, very little), females on the LPGA can wear shorts. In the meantime, men are stuck with pants because of tradition and history.

That person that said tennis is more strenuos ... dont listen to them they OBVISIOUSLY have no idea what their talking about. FIRST of all swimming is one of the most strenuos sports EVER. it is one of the best sports you can do. And another ting you DO sweat in water... when your face is red and your hot and theirs a weird smell in the pool.. yeah thats sweat and that means youve been sweating...stick to the sport you love or do both but just do one one semester and one the next semester. hope it helps!

My girlfriend is extra small and found tons of cute tennisclothes at ebay that are inexpensive. Go to ebay, then advance search, then Items By Seller, and type in sqhoutlet. The seller has more than 100 tennis outfits and skorts.

Most likely not.  They are usually playing with some injury as it is  during the course of a tournament.  They would not want to pile on the extra doubles tournament because they are going to want to recover for their singles play,  It would be a good idea I think foe them to play, nut I do not see it happening.

I doubt there are any official safety rules in tennis.  Check usta.com.

Tennis racquets are of a somewhat oval shape while racquetball racquet are much shorter and have a flattened top.\n\nPicture of a tennis racquet:\nhttp://www.ideal.co.nz/site/ideal/images/stickandwin/19_Ultra_LT_Tennis_Racket_WITRCS510.jpg\n\nPicture of a racquetball racket:\nhttp://www.racquetworld.com/merchant2/graphics/product_pictures/racquets/triadt170sm.jpg\n\nWhile a tennis racquet could be used in a game of racquetball, a real racquetball racquet should be used if you have any desire to pursure the game any further. \n\nGo ahead and play a game of racquetball with your friend using tennis racquets, but beware that prolonged use of them in a racquetball game could damage them. Racquetballs are much heavier than a tennis ball and could cause frame fractures and/or damage to the strings. \n\nIt's ok to improvise, but use the equipment designed for the game if you do it frequently.\n\nEDIT:In response to the ball part, you can use a tennis ball if you would like, if the place where you go to play allows it. My local YMCA did not allow tennis balls in the raquetball courts. Again, don't use a tennis ball if you are playing with people other than your friends, as a tennis ball would not be allowed on any sort of competitive level.\n\nNot your question, but you shouldn't do the reverse - that is use a raquetball on a tennis court. The surface of a (hard court) tennis court is very rough and would damage the rubber raquetball very quickly.

Good Question\n\nThe bottom of tennis shoes, for court use only, have great bottoms for lateral movement. Whereas plain sneakers might not have as good as support. Also, you can sprain your ankle with running shoes. Almost everybody who has worn those has fallen or twisted their ankle in some way. When your thinking about buying shoes, they this website. \nhttp://www.tennis-warehouse.com \np.s. I use prince shoes and they have a great guarantee on them.

I presume you're talking about wearing short skirts.\n\nWear a nice denim or checked skirt to take attention away from your sturdy legs. I think you should wear sporty gear and nothing too tight.\n\nHaving said the above, who says you can't wear a pleated or mini skirt? ;)

I can't answer your question directly, but I can provide you with another interesting bit of information.\n\nThe USTA (United States Tennis Association) has stated in the past that 5 per cent of the US population plays tennis regularly, meaning at least once a week. I feel this figure is both outdated and greatly exaggerated, and is likely to be more in the order of 1 per cent.\n\nSince it's impossible to determine the per cent of the US population that are athletes, it's likewise impossible to answer your question.

Well, I'll tell you exactly how much you need in order to play a good round of tennis. You eat all healthy food for example, like fruits for hydration, and noodles for carbs and energy. You keep playing until you fall over and can't get back up. That's how much more caloric needs you'll want in your body. If for some reason you fall over and you could get back up, then keep on playing until you fall over again and are unable to get back up. Good luck with the falling. ^_^

Are you talking about schools with a strict uniform, which would happen to be sleeveless during summer? Is so, I don't think there would be any. \n\nBut in case you're talking about all schools, then I'm pretty sure everyone wears tank tops in the summer.

Not during the game, but yes. Without getting too technical, rugby shorts are very short and loose, so during warm-up or whatever, you take one knee, which gives you a nice path between your plant leg and the shorts.

they do. don't know where they got that. I use one at the gym. You think people are going to wear their underwear under their gym shorts? And there's a tv commercial out now with this little guy on a football team getting dressed with big guys all around and he picks up a jock strap belonging to someone else and it's HUGE. In football, they have jock straps and you put the cup inside the jock strap. Same for baseball. You think they wear their underwear underneath?

Guess your aiming this question at me.\n\nGenerally speaking no you don't, but if you're dancing a dance where you are likely to flash your underwear (anything involving lots of spins and lifts) then a lot of female dancers will wear a pair of small shorts that are the same colour as their outfit.\n\nPersonally I usually wear a pair of trousers when dancing, but if I do wear a skirt or dress that flares up when dancing I put on a pair of bikini shorts to cover my modesty!
