What are the benefits of playing badminton regularly?

Many people like to play badminton and regard it as a sport that can help them keep fit and grow taller. We can often see people playing badminton in the community, so what are the benefits of playing badminton for a long time? Many people do not know this question. They just think that playing badminton regularly can not only make their bodies healthier and stronger, but also make them more agile and quicker. So, what are the benefits of playing badminton regularly?

The total energy consumption of badminton is closely related to the duration. The energy consumed by the human body during exercise can be several to dozens of times that of sitting still. Studies have shown that long-term regular exercise can increase the basal metabolic rate in a resting state. Therefore, after you choose to play badminton, you must insist on exercising for more than an hour every other day.

Fat is the main oxidative energy source, so playing badminton for a long time in an aerobic environment will naturally consume fat. In addition, exercise will reduce insulin secretion, thereby inhibiting the synthesis of fat in the body. Because the minimum body fat amount should be coordinated with good health, when playing badminton, players must pay attention to controlling their exercise intensity and time.

Long-term badminton training, especially small to medium-intensity exercise, can increase a person's lean body mass (lean body mass = body mass - fat weight). This can be proven by the fact that excellent athletes have lower body fat than ordinary people. People who generally do not participate in sports will increase their lean body mass if they engage in systematic physical exercise. Since the increase in lean body mass offsets the decrease in body fat, the total body weight will decrease slightly or remain unchanged. Studies have shown that exercise can increase fat energy supply in a resting state, help regulate body weight, prevent fat accumulation, and avoid obesity.

What we know is that if the human body does not exercise, the fat on the body will increase, leading to excessive obesity and then difficulty in movement. At this time, we need to exercise to relieve our obesity. If we persist in exercising, we can lose weight, maintain our body shape, and promote our metabolism.
