Here is Dr. Karishma Sanghavi’s clear list of precautions that players—especially beginners—should follow:

Warm-up and Cool-down: Always start and end sessions with 10–15 minutes of stretching and dynamic movement.

Proper Footwear: Avoid running shoes. Indoor courts require light, non-marking shoes for agility; outdoor surfaces demand thicker shoes with better cushioning for joint protection.

Athletic Posture: Keep knees bent and weight slightly forward to remain balanced and avoid sudden strain.

Controlled Movements: Avoid sudden lunges or squats during rallies to protect knees and ankles. Regular Conditioning: Players should maintain a gym routine focusing on mobility, strength, and balance.
