運動的目的在於增進身體的健康以及精神的調和，然而，在從事羽球運動或比賽的同時若產生了運動傷害，甚至於造成無法挽回的遺憾，是非常得不償失的。因此，預防勝於治療的觀念是避免造成運動傷害的最高原則。 羽球運動是一種具有高技術性且連續、快速、往復移動的運動，羽球場地雖然不大，但卻是球類運動中唯一不能落地且必須一次將球回擊至對方場區的運動。就羽球運動的特性而言，球員在運動過程中產生的運動傷害並非來自於外力撞擊或是器材不良，主要因素還是來自於球員本身對於羽球運動的負荷能力以及動作技巧等自發性傷害居多。因此，經由了解羽球運動傷害的發生原因、運動傷害發生的形式、產生運動傷害的機轉、容易造成運動傷害的部位以及認知預防的方法，並深入了解該項運動的操作方法與技巧，應當能減少從事運動所帶來的運動傷害；做到「良好的精神狀態、強壯的身體能力、正確的運動觀念、充足的休息調養、妥善的傷害處理」五大原則，以期能夠獲其利而去其弊，才是正確避免運動傷害的方法。
