When you suddenly engage in any intense physical exertion, like playing a high-performance sport for instance, after a period of inactivity, be prepared to have pain in your muscles and joints the following day, no matter how many streches you did as a warm-up. I always worry about hurting my joints because of badminton - a sport that can make one very prone to wear and tear in the muscles and joints, no matter how beneficial the other effects are. I know people who had tendinitis, some even had extensive knee surgeries, because of such complications. My right ankle has been hurting, which is possibly more related to a slip rather than too much badminton, so I’m very careful about running around chasing the shuttlecock during play. I’ve read there are meds/supplements, like glucosamine chondroitin sulphate, that help protect our body’s framework - the bones and joints. Maybe I should research further on this.
