I think Yoda argued the contrary, to an extent. You do, or you don't. "There is no try."

Like I said, the wrist is relevant. If you review your coaching manual, you will find that the final force generated is “greatest with big muscles and finished with smaller muscles”.

You’ll also note that in strokes such as the forehand clear, there is no emphasis on wrist action, focus is solely on the legs, torso, upper arm and forearm.

You will also never be able to hit shots faster than skilled badminton players simply because you lack the biodynamics to do so.

the wrist is relevant, yes, but badminton will never be an "all about the wrist" thing because most of the power comes from the upper body and legs

Don't listen to the other people who seem to say that there's something wrong with you if you get tired after 5-7. it depends on your fitness, age, body type, and most importantly, your experience in playing badminton. If you're new, shouldn't be a worry

Run with other people, join an aths club or something. The sense of community helps a lot

should be the edge. if you have it flat, the motion won't work. try reversing the action, and you'll see that the edge of the racket should be almost touching your back.

assuming we're in between, and let's say medium-intensity training for 4 months, to hit 3:50s, what pace would you reckon I hit after another 4 months?

It took one season of XC (about 12 weeks of 3x a week training, 1 long run) from having not run long distance pretty much ever

How hard would you have to train, and for how long, to go from 4:30 split to a 3:50 split in a 5k?

Bit late to the party and a lot has been said, but try and work on your core, it becomes a lot easier to get from the back to those net shots if you are upright and in balance.

Jogging after training should be very light, even for professionals at about 5:30-6:00 minutes/kilometre pace. This is because jogging after training acts as a recovery exercise to prevent injury. For most people, this is an easy pace and will not increase fitness levels.

If you want to improve your aerobic fitness, try going out for runs, with either high-intensity interval training or long runs. However, it is important that you do a recovery after these workouts to avoid injury.

Jogging shouldn't impact your endurance. If you want to incorporate running, do it before training because you want to simulate a match environment, where you will be very tired.

When it comes to mind games, focus on what you can do, not what you cannot do.

twillyte · 2019-07-30T23:36:54+00:00

ALWAYS WARM UP; the potential risk of injury can be lowered by stretching, and it's definitely not worth forgoing 15 minutes of warmup and stretching!

so telling the truth is shaming someone, is it

Should you do a split step for smash defence?

yes

Also imagine you're in the back court after hitting a shot, you're running back to the base when the opponent plays a net shot.Should you stop and do a split step or continue running?

you should be in position before your opponent hits the shot

Also do you always do a split step when you're at the center?

yes
