Sky Pedal → repetitive injury mechanisms
* Repetitive wrist/forearm movements → wrist extensor/flexor tendinopathy and forearm fatigue.
* Repeated gripping + racket/paddle swings → lateral or medial elbow tendinopathy (“tennis elbow”–type symptoms). Excessive wrist action in racket sports is a recognized mechanism for elbow tendinopathy.
* Repeated overhead/reaching movements → shoulder rotator-cuff overload, especially if technique or conditioning is poor.
* Rapid changes of direction/lunging → knee and ankle overload, particularly with inadequate lower-limb control.
* Repetitive trunk rotation → lumbar/thoracic muscular strain when players repeatedly rotate without adequate hip contribution.
* Sudden increase in playing duration/intensity → the tissues may not have enough time to adapt, increasing overuse risk.
