How to be a Professional badminton player-1(Fitness)

Fitness-It is said that "The better you want to be the fitter you need to be".Professional players have an extra ordinary fitness level.The first step of badminton player is to be excellent in  three aspects-



Strength:-Strength can be defined as your ability to produce a force that is generated from directing your body as well as the racket head towards hitting the shuttlecock. The power of the shots depends on muscle efficiency.The most efficient way to improve strength is to do weight Training.I have described about the weight training exercises in my another post.The training to build the strength for badminton should not be geared too much towards body building. A too muscular body can cause stiffness which limits the range of your body movements in the game.If you want to make progress, you must always try and increase the resistance you're using. To improve, you need to continually increase either the weight you are lifting, or the number of repetitions you perform with a certain weight.f you always train using 6-8 repetitions, try 8-12 repetitions, or even higher (20 or more). This is a great way to "shake up" your training and force your muscles to adapt in a different way.
*Change your routine every 3-4 weeks. Even if it's just using dumbbells instead of barbells.
Exercises-resistant sidestepping, crouching medicine ball jumps , medicine ball lunges pull-ups push-ups


 

Speed:-The definition of speed is the ability to move your whole body from one place to another in the shortest possible time. In all the sports, athletes need speed to be faster than their opponent to win the game.
Sprinting is the best method to improve speed. Nowadays, speed plays a major role to win the game especially in the 21 points rally system. Gaining speed is vital in becoming a victorious player.
*To build speed, you have to build up endurance first. There is no speed without endurance.
*Step one to building up speed is to start running up hills.
*speed play, is variable-pace running that emphasizes creativity. During a 30-minute run, choose objects to run to telephone poles, trees, buildings, other runners, whatever.
* On a track, run quickly for about 15 seconds every time you start a straightaway, then ease off and jog the rest of the straightaway and the turn before beginning another 15-second stride.

*Take part in races.





Stamina:-Stamina is the ability to sustain a high level of performance over a long period of time. To achieve it, it requires discipline and consistency in training.Jogging and endurance training increases our stamina.
We should have the stamina that insists your opponent to play risky or wrong shot in lack of stamina..

*Weight training
*Running Briskly
*Swimming
*Trekking
*Yoga
*Endurance Training
