Among 156 Indian university archers, aged 15 to 28, those with shoulder pain at the time of the examination were more often over twenty, 51 per cent against 32 per cent of those without, with an odds ratio of 2.13, and the authors read it as micro-injuries building up over the years of shooting; in the abstract of the same paper, though, the risk factor becomes young age. Among 62 high-level recurve archers, asked about the injuries of their whole career, age shows no link with overuse problems, even though the German championship group, which was older, had had far more of them than the European group, 72 per cent against 36. Neither counts injuries per hour of shooting, and age is tangled up with years of practice: today the question remains open.claim:eta-infortuni-sovraccarico:revision:2026-08-31:2Mon, 31 Aug 2026 08:00:00 GMT https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/health/age-overuse-injuries-archersclaim:eta-infortuni-sovraccarico:new_claim:2026-08-15:contestatoSat, 15 Aug 2026 08:00:00 GMT
