Joint Pain in Padel, CrossFit & Running: How Athletes Can Protect Their Joints

Joint pain is one of the main reasons athletes reduce or quit training.

Padel, CrossFit, and running place repetitive stress on joints, especially:

  • Knees
  • Ankles
  • Shoulders
  • Hips

Ignoring early discomfort often leads to long-term damage.

Why These Sports Stress the Joints

Padel

  • Sudden direction changes
  • Repeated knee flexion
  • High impact on cartilage

CrossFit

  • Heavy loads
  • High volume
  • Explosive movements

Running

  • Continuous impact
  • Cumulative cartilage wear

👉 Cartilage has limited blood supply, so recovery is slow.

Why Painkillers Are Not a Solution

Painkillers:

  • Mask symptoms
  • Do not repair cartilage
  • May worsen long-term joint health

Athletes need structural support, not temporary relief.

How to Support Joints from the Inside

Specific collagen peptides (like FORTIGEL®) have been shown to:

  • Stimulate cartilage metabolism
  • Improve joint comfort
  • Support mobility over time

Generic collagen powders are often designed for skin, not joints.

🦴 Train longer. Move better. Protect your joints.

FORTIWIN is formulated with FORTIGEL® collagen peptides to support cartilage and joint resilience.
