All the sports you mention are high-impact and high-stress for the knees. If you're not trained or adapted for these, then yes, you'll be hurt from it.

If you increased your knee joint strength in a sensible and progressive manner (ie doing full squats with very light weight for three sets of five repetitions, and slowly increasing the weight) then your knees would become stronger, and those activities would be less stressful.
