Explanation:
Ich denke, das trifft die Sache etwas eher -- dass die dinger vielleicht in Innenräume nicht so angenehm zu tragen sind, oder nicht so gut funktionieren wie an der frischen Luft.

I agree with Teresa about basketball, volleyball, etc., but your text doesn't say "team sports", which would include things like baseball, football and soccer, which clearly aren't played on a court.

Explanation:
...ist der Begriff, der mir spontan einfiel, obwohl das auch etwas um die Ecke gedacht ist. Evtl. sind die Ellbogen- und Knieschützer bei Mannschaftssport nicht geeignet, weil sich die Sportler damit gegenseitig behindern würden?

neutral  Brie Vernier: Tennis ist normalerweise kein Mannschaftssport//Eben nicht. Tennis (o. Badminton o. Squash o. Basketball o. Volleyball) wird auf einem "court" gespielt, wo es sich nicht empfiehlt, die Schützer einzusetzen
17 mins
  -> Genau darum geht es ja. So zumindest habe ich die Fragestellung verstanden: Der Artikel wird für Tennis, Badminton empfohlen und bei Mannschaftssport nicht. // OK, der Ball geht an die Fragestellerin, für weitere Diskussionen fehlt mir Kontext.
