How Many Calories Does Badminton Burn?
"Badminton is the world's fastest racquet sport. A high-tempo singles rally involves more explosive directional changes and vertical work than almost any other court sport."
A 60-minute competitive badminton game can burn over 500 calories. The constant variation between explosive smashes, deep lunges, and shadow-play footwork creates a high metabolic throughput.
Reactive Power
Badminton requires reactive agility. This repeated acceleration and deceleration builds extreme lower-body power and core stability while maximizing calorie burn.
VO2 Max Scaling
The stop-start nature of badminton match-play functions as a natural HIIT session, dramatically increasing cardiovascular threshold and metabolic rate.
