If you live in a community with old folks, they're going to code if their arteries are clogged. Whether it's on the PB court or at ballroom dance, sooner or later something will give. Don't blame the sport.

From the orthopedic view, don't participate in activities at levels that your bones can't handle. Lift weights to make your bones denser and muscles stronger.
