     Researchers suggest that the Achilles tendon, plantar fascia, anterior talo-fibular ligament of the specific musculotendon, and ligamentous structures are more susceptible to severe injury risks in badminton than in other sports because of the unique and repetitive movements, such as frequent stop-and-go maneuvers, required in a badminton game [18 ].
