Badminton training shows high heart rate and lactate levels, indicating significant physiological stress. Monitoring training load is crucial to prevent over-training and maintain performance in skilled athletes.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Science
  • Exercise Physiology
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Assessing training load is vital for athlete performance and injury prevention.
  • Understanding the physiological responses to specific training regimens is key in elite sports.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify the training load of on-court badminton training by analyzing heart rate and lactate response.
  • To evaluate biochemical markers (urea, uric acid, CPK) 12 hours post-training to assess training stress.

Main Methods:

  • Monitored heart rate and blood lactate during technical drills and matches in six national male badminton players.
  • Measured VO2, VE, and respiratory quotient via graded treadmill exercise.
  • Analyzed serum urea, uric acid, and creatine phosphokinase (CPK) pre- and post-training.

Main Results:

  • On-court training resulted in high lactate levels (8-10.5 mmol/l) and high maximum heart rate (82-100%).
  • Significant increases in urea, uric acid, and CPK were observed 12 hours after training sessions.

Conclusions:

  • Badminton training imposes considerable muscular and cardiovascular stress, exceeding typical physiological responses.
  • Intensive training loads necessitate monitoring to avoid over-training and potential negative impacts on technical skills.
