If you are training for your sport, esp. as you age, one of the key objectives is the concept of resiliency.
Resiliency is really the idea of injury proofing or making your body less susceptible to injury of either the traumatic or overuse type.
The data is irrefutable that in every sport the liklihood of injury increases as the match/game goes on because of the fatigue factor.
So one's training has to incorporate conditioning work to delay/avoid fatigue as well as strength work to help you generate and handle force.
The gist of this whole post was started by observing how many defaults of matches were occurring at the National Masters squash championships as the tournament progressed.
Competitors just weren't resilient enough to play several hard matches in close proximity to one another and their bodies paid the price and broke down.
While you have to do the skill work to develop your game you also have to pay equal attention to the conditioning and strength training aspect of your training as that is what will make you more resilient.
No training can guarantee that you won't get injured but you will definitely reduce your odds by a well designed off court/field training program.
Train hard and train smart!
