İngilizce (ABD) hakkında soru

Bunu İngilizce (ABD) da nasıl dersiniz? I injured my arm [while] playing tennis.

Is it possible to replace [while] by [during]?

According to my dictionary, “during –ing” is not correct but no explanation.
Also I don’t really feel like I’ve seen the expression.

It’s wrong if you directly replace while with during.

Depending on what specifically you were doing, you can change the sentence.
If it was a tennis match/game, you can say: “I injured my arm during a tennis game”
If it was tennis practice, you can say: “I injured my arm during tennis practice”

A noun follows after “during” so you can’t say “playing” after “during” since “playing” is a verb

It’s so kind of you to answer all of my questions!!!!!

I kind of know these things but not 100% sure. Thank to you, I understand much better.

Also, during tennis PRACTICE, I couldn’t think of it. I see!

A Preposition can’t take a verb right after itself, that’s the basic rule, right? Seems like there’re some exception and it makes me mixed up.
