Abstract Background :Badminton is a sport which need repetitive lunging, squatting and running which causes Patella to move on femur and causing posterior compressive force and causing anterior knee pain .The patellofemoral joint can undergo very high stresses during typical activities .The patellofemoral joint reaction (contact) force is influenced by both the quadriceps force and the knee angle. As the knee flexes and extends, the patella is pulled by the quadriceps tendon superiorly and simultaneously by the patella tendon inferiorly. The combination of these pulls produces a posterior compressive force of the patella on the femur and cause anterior pain

Methods :We performed a study with the help of google form, cluster sampling is done. The prevalence of anterior knee pain is studied with kujala questionnaire and ,its associated risk factors are being noted

Results :In this study 50 players participated in that 31 are male and 19 are female. 32 players complains of anterior knee pain in that 23 players complains on single knee pain and 8 players complain of both knee pain .increased in number of hours of practice and and years of training can cause in over use injury of anterior knee and pain. With the help of Kuajal questionnaire players are being assessed and condition of knee is being determined. Associated risk factors are also being noted in the players in that 8% players were identified with genu valgum,4% with abnormal patellar tracking patelar ,2%foot misalignment

Conclusion :Anterior knee pain is a prevalent issue among badminton players, influenced by various intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Understanding the prevalence and associated risk factors of anterior knee pain in this population is critical for developing targeted prevention strategies and optimizing athlete health and performance. Future research should continue to investigate the complex interplay of biomechanical, training-related, and environmental factors contributing to anterior knee pain in badminton players, with the ultimate goal of reducing injury burden and enhancing athlete well being
