Humansa Supports Tennis: A Science-Backed Approach to Longevity
At the core of Humansa’s support for tennis lies our mission to extend healthspan and lifespan through evidence-based innovation. Tennis has been scientifically proven to be one of the most effective activities for longevity, with research indicating that participating in regular exercise such as tennis can potentially add up to 10 years to a person’s lifespan.[1] This remarkable benefit stems from tennis’s unique combination of aerobic and anaerobic exercise that enhances cardiovascular health and muscle strength, its high-intensity interval elements that improve metabolic function, and its inherent social engagement that reduces stress and supports cognitive health.
By championing tennis in Hong Kong, Humansa reinforces its commitment to promoting scientifically validated longevity strategies, establishing the sport as a fundamental component of our wellness philosophy.
A Shared Vision for Tennis Excellence and Longevity
Humansa is collaborating with HKCTA in positioning Hong Kong as Asia’s premier tennis destination. This comprehensive partnership extends beyond tournament sponsorship to include youth development programs that nurture junior talent, elite athlete support systems focusing on performance optimization and injury prevention, and community engagement initiatives that promote tennis as a lifelong health activity. The alliance represents a shared vision to elevate both the sport and the health benefits it delivers to Hong Kong’s community.
Mr. Michael Cheng, President of the HKCTA, said, “Our overriding mission is to promote tennis as a lifelong sport and to foster its growth across all levels in Hong Kong. Our vision is to build a dynamic tennis community while reinforcing Hong Kong’s position as a leading sports and major event hub and tourist destination—driving Hong Kong’s mega-events economy and establishing the city as a must-visit destination for regional and global travelers. The partnership with Humansa supports our efforts in highlighting the long-term health benefits of tennis and bringing greater visibility to the sport of tennis, whilst inspiring greater participation in sport across the whole community. “
“Humansa’s commitment to evidence-based wellness and longevity complements our goal of encouraging more people to embrace tennis, not only as a competitive sport but also as a sustainable lifestyle choice.”
