“…Therefore, figures such as the coach or the athletic trainer should introduce a prevention program of exercises for avoiding performance decreases or a stop in training caused by a lesion, mainly when the player is approaching sport periods [ 12 ]. The smaller court size in padel, as well as the quicker pace of play, may also lead to faster and more intense gameplay, which may contribute to injury risk [ 52 , 53 , 54 ], mostly if fatigue is coupled with improper technique [ 41 , 55 ]. In addition, the high intensity of running and jumping may affect the ability to control landings, and may consequently be associated with non-contact injury [ 56 ].…”

“…In addition, the high intensity of running and jumping may affect the ability to control landings, and may consequently be associated with non-contact injury [ 56 ]. Furthermore, excessive training or exercise load may also be associated with injury risk, highlighting the need to focus on proper technique, rest, and recovery [ 54 , 57 ].…”

Padel is a racket sport that has been gaining great popularity and scientific interest in recent years. It could be considered to be a high-intensity intermittent sport with valuable cardiovascular and neuromuscular benefits; however, the risk of injury cannot be neglected. To date, there is still a gap of knowledge in the scientific literature on this emergent sport. Therefore, the present review aims to synthetize the current knowledge on padel game dynamics to better characterize the main risk factors, the injury rate and characteristics, and the most effective rehabilitative treatment strategies. PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane, and PEDro were screened up to January 2022 to identify eligible studies focusing on padel players as participants. Out of 160 records, we included 19 studies, which were focused on match analysis, anthropometric and physical training, the risk of injury, and rehabilitative interventions. The results showed that the high action velocity and the sudden changes in direction during a padel match could represent a risk factor for injuries, especially in untrained players. However, the high heterogeneity of the studies in the literature hinders our ability to draw any strong conclusions, and the results should be carefully considered. Future research should address the lack of knowledge on injury mechanisms and type to implement a tailored rehabilitation program.

“…Assessing injury risk perception as well as understanding risk factors and biomechanics of pain and injuries among TT athletes is of paramount importance to devise effective preventative training strategies. Evidence-based rehabilitation programs carried out in synergy with ad hoc training could allow pain- and injury-free sports activity, optimizing and enhancing the overall health benefits for TT athletes [ 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 ].…”

Epidemiology and Risk Factors of Table-Tennis-Related Injuries: Findings from a Scoping Review of the Literature

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background and Objectives: Table tennis represents one of the fastest ball games in the world and, as such, is characterized by unique physiological demands. Despite its popularity, there is a dearth of data related to table-tennis-related risk factors and injuries. Therefore, the present review was conducted to fill in this gap of knowledge. Material and Methods: The present review was designed as a scoping review. Eleven online databases were searched with no language/date limitations. Results: Forty-two investigations were retained in the present review. These studies indicated that tenosynovitis, benign muscle injuries, strains, and sprains were the most common injury types. In order, the most commonly affected anatomical regions were the lower limb, shoulder, spine, knee, upper limb, and trunk. When comparing the injury occurrence between training and competition, the results were contradictory. National/international athletes had higher indices of injury than regional players, even though other investigations failed to replicate such findings. According to some scholars, there was a difference between female and male athletes: in females, more injuries involved the upper limbs when compared to men who had more injuries to the lower limbs, while other studies did not find differences in terms of gender. Conclusions: Table tennis is generally considered at lower risk for injuries than other sports. However, the present scoping review showed that injuries can occur and affect a variety of anatomic regions. Sports scientists/physicians could utilize the information contained in the current review for devising ad hoc programs to adopt an effective/appropriate prevention strategy and to monitor table tennis players’ training load and to achieve maximal fitness, as these will reduce the risk of injuries. However, most of the studies included in our scoping review are methodologically weak or of low-to-moderate evidence, being anecdotal or clinical case reports/case series, warranting caution when interpreting our findings and, above all, further high-quality research in the field is urgently needed.

“…With regard to tendon injuries, among the broad spectrum of inflammatory and degenerative processes, the most common acute condition is the rupture, particularly in athletes [ 14 ]. In particular, the most common tendon involved is the Achilles, with an incidence of nearly 40/100,000 in athletes, and rotator cuff [ 14 ].…”
