What is a 3-0 catgut in a medical operation?
Catgut is a type of cord that is prepared from the natural fiber in the walls of animal intestines.
For a long time, catgut was the most common material for the strings of harps, lutes, violins, and violas, as well as other stringed musical instruments. Catgut is still used as a high-performance string in tennis or squash racquets.
Catgut suture was once a widely used material in surgical settings. The suture holds the wound together in good apposition until such time as the natural healing process is sufficiently well established to make the support from the suture material unnecessary and redundant.
The available suture sizes and diameters are:
- 6-0 = 0.07 mm
- 5-0 = 0.10 mm
- 4-0 = 0.15 mm
- 3-0 = 0.20 mm

- 2 = 0.5 mm

Those hours are made up of sport-specific training, physical training and other sports (in earlier years). This means that this comes to about three hours a day over 10 years! There is no doubt a huge time commitment is necessary to reach elite levels; it is important to bear in mind, however, that the 10,000 hours are weighted heavily in the latter stages of that 10-year period when the athlete will be training full time - often for over six hours a day.

How can tennis can help your body?
To me it isn't important.
To the average person it means nothing.
To the average player it provides a modicum of physical exercise and probably helps with their fitness.
To the parents of children forced to train regularly to ensure a financial return in the future it's importance is blown out of proportion at the expense of their offspring's childhood.
To the financial backers of professional tennis competitions it is super important, as they are able to sell advertising and broadcast rights for vast sums of money.
To the professional players who have trained all their lives to make it to the top of the tennis world, I'm sure it is very important.
