Can playing badminton regularly help you lose weight?

Badminton has now become one of the most popular sports. In summer, you can often see many people carrying badminton rackets to the park or square to play badminton together. Some people believe that playing badminton regularly can help lose weight, but this statement has not been confirmed, so today we ask authoritative experts to explain to us whether playing badminton can help lose weight.

Playing badminton can help you lose weight. Some people say that badminton is a sport that can make people's eyes sharp, hands quick, and the whole body exercised. I think this statement is very appropriate.

Anyone who has practiced badminton for a long time will have this feeling: by frequently observing the opponent's racket swing and the high-speed flying ball, experienced athletes can see the tiny movements of the racket flipping and changing at the moment the opponent hits the ball, just like a martial arts master. In fact, the reason why people can develop "quick eyes and quick hands" is very simple: because badminton in motion is very fast (according to statistics, the hitting speed of an excellent athlete can reach 350 kilometers per hour). This requires the opponent's eyes to closely track the high-speed flying ball, and the ciliary muscles of the eyes constantly contract and relax, which greatly promotes the blood supply to the eye tissue, thereby improving the function of the ciliary muscles. Long-term exercise can improve a person's visual acuity and the reaction ability of the eyes. For ordinary enthusiasts, especially the middle-aged and elderly people and those who overuse their eyes, if they can persist in practicing, their visual sensitivity will be significantly improved.

In addition, during the exercise, the exerciser needs to use the strength of the wrist and arm to hold and swing the racket, and fully move the ankle joints, knee joints, hip joints and other parts, and make various gaits such as sliding, tiptoeing and lunging, so the muscles and joints of the whole body are also fully exercised. In the process of picking up and catching the ball, constant bending and raising of the head can fully exercise the muscles in the waist and abdomen. Therefore, long-term badminton exercise, in addition to strengthening the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, is also very effective in losing weight.

The above is the article about whether playing badminton frequently can help you lose weight. After reading the above article, I believe everyone has a new understanding of playing badminton. After knowing that playing badminton can help you lose weight, friends who want to lose weight can play badminton, which can also be regarded as a form of entertainment.
