The study also showed that pickleball-related injuries occur most frequently in older adults. From 2010 to 2019, 86% of emergency department visits occurred in people at least 60 years old. Among pickleball injuries, 60% result from sprains, fractures or strains; 20% from contusions, abrasions or internal injuries; and fewer than 10% from lacerations and/or dislocations.
Leg injuries tend to be strained muscles, ankle sprains and Achilles’ tendon injuries from running, jumping or lunging. This could be from several issues, such as dehydration, over-extension or pivoting/twisting motions. Achilles’ tendon rupture: A traumatic tear that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone in the foot. This injury often requires surgical repair.
Cooling down after the match: Proper nutrition and rehydration, as well as foam rolling and stretching, will help your body repair and recover.
