Padel

When playing paddle tennis, injury prevention is essential to ensure safety during the game. To avoid knee injuries, it is crucial to carry out adequate warm-up exercises and include specific training to strengthen the stabilising muscles of the knee (thigh and lower leg). Wearing appropriate footwear and practising strengthening and balance exercises are effective measures to prevent ankle sprains. Perfecting the technique of hitting the ball and performing strengthening exercises for the shoulder muscles help prevent injuries in these areas.

Maintaining proper posture while hitting and strengthening the core help prevent back injuries. Variation in training, proper use of the grip and exercises for the hands and wrists help prevent overuse injuries. To summarise, preventing padel injuries requires improved technique, muscle strengthening, the right choice of equipment and awareness of individual limits, providing a safe and prolonged sporting practice.
