Well we have before, and the results were disappointing to say the least. Yes, we found a few exercises and drills that were designed to aid us on our journey of badminton fitness, but we found nothing that even closely resembled a long-term workout plan with scientific evidence to back-up those exercises and drills. So, we decided to take things into our own hands! We developed our very own fitness and footwork eBook with the help of Malaysian Ex-professional: Goh Jian Hao, and coaches from all around the world! In the introduction, we analyse the physiology of badminton players, and the upper-body strokes and lower-body movements used in badminton. With this in mind, we define 6 aspects of performance in badminton: aerobic capacity, flexibility, explosive strength, speed, muscle endurance and agility. All of our workouts and training programmes in our eBook have been tagged with the specific aspects of badminton performance it is designed to target. We’ve also got a great warm-up and cool-down routine for you in our introduction to make sure you’re ready for whatever the workouts may throw at you! Our workouts consist of weight training exercises (with mostly dumbbells and barbells), bodyweight and banded exercises, mixed gym exercises (with equipment such as cable machines, smith machines etc.), and a variety of long-term challenges that you can attempt; all with excellent, high-quality images to aid you in your form! Finally, we have our 12 on-court and off-court footwork drills. All of our workouts and footwork drills have been designed with numerous different coaches, players, physiotherapists, and of course, Goh Jian Hao, in relation to our analysis of badminton players and movements to ensure that you get the best scientific training method for badminton.
