In this episode of Badminton Science, we dive into what the world of badminton can learn from two of the most professionally developed sports on the planet: soccer and tennis. With a focus on preparation training, activation routines, and periodization, I break down how these sports approach warm-ups or preperation training, physical readiness, and managing training loads over time.

You'll learn how soccer uses structured activation, mobility, and movement drills to optimize performance before matches. We also explore how football use strategic planning to balance training intensity, avoid burnout, and peak at the right time.

Whether you're a coach or player, this episode offers practical ideas you can apply to your own badminton training to stay sharp, resilient, and consistently improving.

Can you really build muscle and get stronger without losing speed and agility on the badminton court? Can you train to build muscle AND get better at badminton at the same time? In this episode of Badminton Science Podcast, we explore how you can combine badminton and bodybuilding in the best possible way. I talk about how to periodize your training throughout the year, which exercises build strength without compromising your mobility, and how to balance nutrition and recovery to perform optimally in both sports.
