I've read what F1 drivers do to create and maintain necessary fitness for their sport (and, elsewhere, what NASCAR and IMSA drivers do, too), and I agree: pickleball players are among the most fit athletes in the world. This has been made clear time and again.
Here, this is one example of F1 drivers' fitness routines, and if that's all they're doing, it demonstrates why pickleball players are certainly among the top athletes in the world:

This is what has convinced me that it's a lock that pickleball will be an Olympic sport at LA28. Wait for it, sports fans.
