    Getting the best Competitive Advantage possible! (Off-season training in June)

    June is a tournament break for many badminton players and how you use it matters. In this episode I break down exactly what your training should look like: starting with a proper recovery week, then building work capacity, strength, and explosiveness before the specific preparation phase begins in July. Conditioning ratios, plyometric prep, strength priorities, and how to fit it all into 2–5 sessions per week.

    Physical Standards for Badminton Players

    Physical standards for badminton are what I call "bare minimun requirements" in order to perform and play at some level without risking injury and still perform. In this episode I talk about mobility, strength, explosiveness/power and conditioning in regards to badminton physical standards. In the following episodes I will dive a bit deeper in each subject and give you even more standards and tests to help you figure out your own strengths and weaknesses as well as how to train to improve each physical quality.

    Building sport-specific endurance for badminton players

    Sport-specific endurance is a hard topic do discuss and to understand. Especially when we think about endurance and see a marathon-runner or a tour-de-france athlete. Endurance is more than just those sports. How do the pros keep the same tempo and intensity for an entire match? How do they not lose explosiveness during the last set of the last match of a tournament? Well, that´s because they have badminton-specific endurance. In this podcast I go over how to build endurance for badminton players and how to train for different types of endurance as well. We´ll be talking about on-court as well as off-court stuff.

    What badminton can learn from football (soccer for the US listeners)

    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.

    Combining badminton with powerlifting?

    Not everyone wants to focus solely on one sport, but many like to do their sport and combine it with something else. It has become very popular with strength training in all its forms and therefore this episode is about combining Powerlifting and Badminton. It is the first episode in an upcoming series about combining different sports with badminton. Now, if you want to combine: how should you do it in order to get as much as possible out of both sports? I go through that in the coming episodes.
