Badminton Single tricks shots

When playing badminton, sometime you cannot win even if you are faster and have a better skills - you also need to know these badminton tricks. Check video out:

Badminton Training Overview

Broadly speaking badminton training is similar to conditioning for the other racket sports such as tennis and squash.

A simple movement analysis however, reveals a few key differences that will affect the competitive badminton player’s training regimen…

Many shots in badminton are played overhead – more so than tennis or squash for example. Badminton players also rely much more on the wrist flexors for generating power compared to tennis players. While this may not lead to a vastly different training program, exercise selection and the percentage of time dedicated to some exercises over others will change.

The average rally length at an elite badminton level is 6-8 seconds and is interspersed with rest periods of about 15 seconds (1). Individual rallies would place a high demand on the anaerobic, alactic energy system with several back-to-back rallies relying on recovery of the creatine phosphate pool (2,3).

As a badminton match lasts at least 45 minutes (1), short, intense periods of activity are underpinned by aerobic endurance. Clearly, speed and agility play a crucial role, and lateral movements are called upon to even greater extent than in tennis.

Finally, strength and explosive power conditioning should form a fundamental part of a badminton training program – necessary to maximize speed about the court and powerful overhead smashes.

Badminton is a Great Sport for Fitness and Weight Loss

Many know badminton as a beach entertaining sport. But real badminton is a serious Olympic sport requiring much tension, agility, good reaction, staying power, perfect coordination. The flight of the shuttlecock (a missile of cork and goose feather that players volley across the net) has been recorded at speeds of 332 kilometers per hour. Badminton is the world’s fastest racket sport. The speed of therally during a professional game reaches 0,7 hits per second. Badminton is included to the astronaut training program. One can spend hours playing this game and not noticing the time – this is how one can fall in badminton.

Badminton is all-round fitness helps get rid of body fat

Badminton is a very dynamic sport kind. It trains different muscle groups of the player. First of all, a badminton player moves with half-bent knees and chasse steps. During this the inner and outer thighs, buttocks and calf muscles are permanently working. Such areas as inner and outer thighs and buttocks are all women’s problematic zones and are often chosen by body fat, cellulite and stretch marks as a home. These parts need hours of work at the gym. Badminton is also effective for it, but many times more exiting. You run, jump a lot, think, have fun and at the same time lose weight.

While a badminton player is hitting a shuttlecock with the racket, both arms work: the one, surely, to hit and the other services as a counterbalance. The hit can be from very light to really strong and hitting the shuttlecock to the bottom in a fraction of a second in a jump (smash). The hits themselves help to get rid of so-called waving arms. For some this might appear familiar: you raise your hand to wave, but when your hand stops waving your triceps still does for some time. This is unpleasant for every woman, and badminton develops these muscles too. During the game your shoulders and neck also work and muscles, which stay motionless for hours at the office, develop. This provides more blood supply for the brains.

And what about the belly? When a player tries to hit the shuttlecock from different corners of the court, it’s important to be flexible and to be able to span. When spanning, you strengthen your abdominal muscles and thus make them tucked and burn the belly fat. This means, you look more beautiful!

Body weight loss

Badminton is perfect for the body weight loss: players have been known to cover more than six kilometers in a single match. Summing up all the jumps, the total jump track can achieve 1 kilometer. You could jog these 6 kilometers, but running is too boring in comparison with badminton, with is a great combination of jumps, runs, starting speed-ups. And all physical load is submerged by hazard, emotions and feelings caused by such active games. Depending on your weight and exertion level you'll burn 100-200 extra calories* in a half-hour session.

*Extra calories are those you burn on top of the calories you use for basic day-to-day living. Inputting your exercise into your exercise diary will calculate the number of calories you will burn, based on your weight.
