Start up
Start with a gentle warm-up, including stretching exercises, to prepare your muscles and joints for physical activity.
Appropriate footwear
Wear supportive athletic shoes that provide stability and cushioning. This will help reduce the risk of ankle sprains or foot injuries during quick movements on the field.
Technique and form
Focus on using correct technique and form when hitting the ball to avoid straining your muscles or joints. For this, you will need guidance from experienced players or coaches.
Moderation
Avoid overexertion and gradually increase intensity and duration to allow your body to adapt to the demands of this sport. If you have any joint or orthopedic injuries or existing health problems or medical conditions, consult your doctor before participating in pickleball.
Pregnant women should also consult their doctor because the physical demands and risk of falls associated with pickleball may pose risks during pregnancy.
