Medical warnings regarding sports-related injuries
Overview
Medical professionals at the Post Hospital 2026 Annual Scientific Conference have reported a significant volume of sports-related injuries, averaging 15 to 20 cases daily. Experts identified football, badminton, and pickleball as common activities contributing to these incidents.
Dr. Tran Duc Thinh highlighted specific risks, such as complete Achilles tendon ruptures in fit individuals over 40 due to age-related loss of elasticity, and recurrent shoulder dislocations in badminton players. Regarding pickleball, doctors noted that repetitive movements like squatting and rapid changes in direction can cause cumulative micro-traumas and knee pain.
To mitigate long-term damage, experts advise monitoring symptoms like persistent pain, swelling, and stiffness. They emphasize the importance of proper movement, sufficient recovery time, and adjusting physical activity intensity to manage joint health and cartilage erosion.
