In addition, the waist, leg joints, ankles, Achilles tendons, shoulders, and elbow joints must also be fully warmed up.

2. Using various protective gear when playing badminton, such as wrist guards, shoulder guards, knee pads, ankle guards, etc., can play a certain protective role.

3. Choose the right venue and shoes. It is best to play in a venue with a wooden floor, and the soles of your sports shoes should be of a certain thickness and elasticity.

4. Don’t leave immediately after playing ball. Relax fully, which has a positive effect on restoring the body and joints and ligaments in various parts of the body.

5. Don’t go into battle with injuries.
