Main Idea: Playing Badminton can cause injuries to athletes in their wrist, elbow, shoulder, knee, and ankle due to its overuse.
Supporting details:
- A poor backhand technique where the player has a soft or bent wrist can cause tennis elbow which is a generic term for pain outside the elbow and known as lateral epicondylitis.
- Jumper’s knee or patellar tendonitis is an overuse injury that results in pain at the front of the knee, localized at a point towards the bottom of the kneecap. Repetitive strain from too much running or jumping causes inflammation or degeneration of the patella tendon.
