FAQ

Why is badminton considered such an intense racquet sport?

The shuttlecock's rapid deceleration forces constant, explosive stop-start movement around the court — lunging, jumping for smashes and quickly recovering to base position — producing one of the higher calorie burns among racquet sports relative to session time.

Does singles or doubles badminton burn more calories?

Singles generally burns more per player, since there's no partner to share court coverage, requiring considerably more total running and court coverage for the same rally length.
