Logging tennis??

I just played 40 minutes against the wall, and am guessing the closest activity on MFP is singles tennis? Has anyone used a HRM and compared tennis against the wall with a game of singles - am guessing the wall is potentially higher as you are almost doubling the amount of hits.

    Hey Emma, I hope you get an answer. When I haven't had an exact match I look through activities that would be as vigorous. At least you have logged something and can edit later. Good luck.

    I know I was just wondering whether doubles or singles would more closely approximate playing against a wall - ended up going for general.

    Good choice. If I had an HRM I would gladly test it up - but due to heart drug, HRM would not work on me anyway... otherwise as a gadget lover, I would totally have one!

    Emma, I would log doubles. Yes, you're taking more swings but not running nearly as much.
    Good luck!
