Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomechanics
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Badminton is a globally popular sport with limited sports medical research.
  • Existing studies indicate badminton has a relatively low injury risk compared to other sports.
  • Injuries are predominantly overuse-related, with long durations but minimal lost workdays.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze injury patterns in badminton.
  • To identify common injuries and risk factors.
  • To propose preventive strategies for badminton-related injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on badminton injuries.
  • Analysis of injury localization, types, and affected demographics.
  • Correlation of injury mechanisms with preventive recommendations.

Main Results:

  • Foot and ankle injuries are most common, notably Achilles tendinitis and tennis elbow.
  • Men and recreational players face higher injury risks than women and elite players, respectively.
  • Injury risk is higher during training than during competition.

Conclusions:

  • Specific footwear modifications (higher heel, shock absorption, heel counter) are recommended.
  • Adjusting shoe-sole and playing-surface friction is advised.
  • Targeted training focusing on specific muscle groups (triceps surae, shoulder, elbow rotators) can prevent injuries.
