In this episode you will learn about the power of journaling as a habit and my own free tool to get better at it. If you don't want another app, just write the questions down and write on a paper (don't tell this to my business manager). We all want to have the best physical training program in the world, yet we lose matches because of focus (lack of focus) or other. We don't improve as we should because we don't reflect over our sessions as we should. Are you tired of losing those close matches? Do you want to get everything out of each session?

Physical Standards for Badminton Players (00:17:20)
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 (00:26:53)
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.

Combining badminton with powerlifting? (00:22:14)

5 steps to faster and better recovery for athletes (00:24:28)
In this week's episode of Badminton Science Podcast, I give my 5 steps for faster recovery. It's not just about physically recovery, but mental recovery as well. Many times we see more fit and even better players lose to inferior opposition due to mental exhaustion. Sometimes it is the physical exhaustion that is the problem. Sometimes we have a hard time coping and adapting with all the training, but to get the most out of it, we have to recover better! There will also be a bonus at the end for how you can... well, you have to listen to the episodes if you want to know what the bonus will be.

Simple but effective strength training for athletes (00:26:21)
How to strength train as an athlete with or without access to a gym? In this week's episode, I go through how you should (or could) strength train as a badminton player based on the solid work that Badminton Sweden has done in their player development plan. Unfortunately they are only in swedish, but you can follow the link to check them out: https:/ /badminton.nu/elit/elitprogrammet-och-spelarutvecksplan . What I really like is that Badminton Sweden has developed several documents about player development ranging from strength training to physical requirements and even tactical things such as game concept. In the episode you will hear me talk about and go over the program "strength training for badminton players" and give my opinions and suggestions/corrections on various exercises, things I would do different and more. I do not critizise the program, this is just my way of giving you more tools in your toolbox to reach your full potential! Soon my own strength training program for badminton players will be released, but for now you will have to stick to the three I have done so far where I strongly recommend you to check out "The Protected Player" as well as "Training for tall athletes" if you want to get effective programs for your strength training (the latter works for all different heights of players). You can find all the training programs I have done here: https://www.sugiyamabadminton.com/badminton-training-program If you have any questions write to @badmintonsciencepodcast on Instagram!

Training for tall badminton players and athletes - the Viktor Axelsen approach (00:29:43)
Have you ever wondered what you should do differently depending on how tall you are? Should a player at 170 cm train the same way as a player near 2 meters? The answer is both yes and no. In order to get explosive or strong the same rules still apply, but choosing the right exercises and having the right priorities is hard. Therefor, I did a lot of research based on a badminton superstar who happens to know what do to as an tall athlete, Viktor Axelsen. I have combined some of Viktor's approaches to various areas of his needs and added some thoughts of my own. Take a listen and learn a thing or two about what makes Viktor Axelsen great and what you can do (even if you are not tall) to improve.
