The Top 3 Badminton Stretches
Stretching is one of the most under-utilized techniques for improving athletic performance, preventing sports injury and properly rehabilitating sprain and strain injury.
The 3 stretches below are just a small sample of stretching exercises that will help you improve your performance and eliminate badminton injuries. Obviously there are a lot more, but these are a great place to start. Please make special note of the instructions beside each stretch.
Don't make the mistake of thinking that something as simple as stretching won't be effective, take advantage and realisel the benefits of a regular stretching program to help improve your flexibility and range of movement.
 | Rotating Wrist Stretch: Place one arm straight out in front and parallel to the ground. Rotate your wrist down and outwards and then use your other hand to further rotate your hand upwards. |
 | Elbow-out Rotator Stretch: Stand with your hand behind the middle of your back and your elbow pointing out. Reach over with your other hand and gently pull your elbow forward. |
 | Standing Toe-up Achilles Stretch: Stand upright and place the ball of your foot onto a step or raised object. Bend your knee and lean forward. |
