Is there any sports that worsen genu varum? because i play a lot of soccer, and can it worsen it?

Keep exercising!: Playing soccer should not cause your knee problem to worsen. In fact, having strong leg muscles will offer some protection of your knees which are at higher risk for injury because they are not aligned normally.

Soccer: Playing soccer with Genu Varum (knock knees) will not make the situation worse, however, you may be more prone to injury.
