You’re Warming Up Wrong (And It’s Killing Your Performance)

In this episode of Badminton Science, I break down pre-training preparation from a performance perspective.

Most players treat warm-ups as a "must" or just something to get the heart rate up. That’s a mistake.

A properly structured preparation phase directly impacts speed, power output, reaction time, and injury risk. This episode walks you through a science-based 4-phase model used in high-performance environments: general warm-up, mobility and activation, neural preparation, and sport-specific work.

You’ll learn what actually matters, what most players get wrong, and how to structure your preparation in under 20 minutes to maximize training quality.

If you want to train at a higher level, your preparation needs to be at a higher level. Don't miss out on performance or progress because of your "warm up".
