In this CNA938 Rewind segment, orthopaedic specialist Dr Zackary Chua explores the rising popularity of high-intensity sports like pickleball and Hyrox—and their unintended consequences. While these activities promote cardiovascular fitness and community engagement, Dr Chua warns that a surge in overuse injuries, joint strain, and improper recovery practices is becoming increasingly common. He explains that many participants, especially those new to intense sports or returning after a sedentary period, underestimate the physical demands. Dr Chua highlights the importance of proper warm-ups, technique, and strength training to prevent injuries, and encourages enthusiasts to seek early medical attention for persistent pain rather than pushing through it.
