Is it normal to get little purple dot bruises on your arms when you haven't played volleyball for a while?

Question

And will they get worse if you continue to play for, say 1 1/2 hours everyday? Or will your arms build up a tolerance to it?

Answer 1

oh, yeah, i get them all the time, especially if i have a hard or to much air ball, but keep at it, yes ur arms will get stronger if u keep at it, but maybe get a better ball!

Answer 2

Well, i think your arms are just not used to the ball hitting them yet.  They should get better, and your arms should get stronger, too. I think if you practice more then they should go away. If not, you should see a doctor.

Answer 3

yes, after a week of playing your for arm where you bump the ball will get tighter and you will not burse

Answer 4

Definitely. I just had a volleyball tournament on Saturday but i hadn't played in the previous week much at all. so now, speaking of which, i have a bruise on my right arm. /don't worry about it at all. it is merely a bruise from the ball smacking against your arm. it will go away in a while. (if not ... maybe u should look into it)    *hope it helps!*

Answer 5

i think its okay and u should build a tolerance to it but if it gets worse get it checked out by ur doctor

Answer 6

ya your arms will get use to it you havent played in awhile its normal
