A member asked:

Is baseball usually considered a vigorous activity?

Dr. Allen Lu answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Not generally: It is considered a high level start and stop activity. There are short spurts of high activity followed by a long period of inactivity. It is vigorous, but only for those few brief moments. It is higher risk for injuries because of this as well.
