The injuries a sports orthopaedic clinic sees from these three activities are fairly predictable. Pickleball tends to cause calf and Achilles injuries, ankle sprains and elbow or shoulder pain, often in players who took it up later in life. HYROX loads tired knees, lower backs and shoulders, while running mostly produces overuse problems such as runner's knee, shin pain and plantar fasciitis.
All three have grown quickly in Singapore, with pickleball sessions filling community centre courts and HYROX races drawing large fields. The common thread is less about the sport itself and more about people increasing their training faster than tendons and joints can adapt.
