I was fascinated to know the beneficial effects of playing badminton…
Please clarify me some vague points…
How true is it that playing badminton is not good for people who have arthritis? They say it can dislodge bones and its a dangerous game. Please enlighten, thanks.

Hi Loida… Tennis and Badminton are pretty strenuous activities requiring a lot of running and jumping. These are activities that cause a lot of pressure on your joints. Arthritis for example can occur mainly because you are overweight and your putting all your weight on your knees when you standup or walk. The same principle of putting “load” to your knees happen when your run a lot a what happens with badminton or tennis. Meaning…if you play these sports, use proper shoes to lessen the pressure on your knees and feet. Plus…if you can no longer speak properly while playing …means you’re overdoing the activity. So play these games at most 1 hour 3 x a week should be an ideal exercise with less burden to your knees. Your knees need rest in between. Hope this advise is helpful.

Hi Sohail….
It depends…he should make sure his BP is within normal limits on medication. If so, it is completely safe to play badminton. Those with poorly controlled blood sugar or BP are the ones who should avoid strenuous activities until their conditions are well controlled or otherwise advised by their doctors.
Thanks for your question

I started playing badminton in January this year with my weight hovering around 125kg (with 6ft height). It is October now and my weight has come down to 98kg all because of 1-hour badminton every day except Sunday which I use as a rest day. I love it (the game) and love what it has done to my personality.

Hi,
Can any one tell me how much in weight can you loose in one month by playing badminton every day for 1 hour.
Your advise will be much appreciated.

Sow….weight loss results from calories out being more than calories in! so make sure you know how much you eat and how many calories youre burning. Lets say … playing badminton burns you 500 calories then you ate a burger amounting to 500 calories…end result…no weight loss!

Hi, i used to play badminton from the last 3 months i.e. December 2009 everyday except sunday. I am 33years old and my weight is 85kgs. My recent lipid profile indicates that my triglyceride is 361. I have also a fatty livermeasurement is 16.2. While playing badminton, i had twice giddiness and a mild headache. After i went home and relax, i checked my B.P. and was 140/100mm.hg. My question is “is it dangerous/harmfull for me to continue playing badminton? Or, shall i keep playing?” i am a chronic gastritis patient for more than 5 years.

David… have a check up and executive checkup. Have this BP controlled first before you do a ny exercise activity. You are developing the metabolic syndrome profile and at risk of developing diabetes and heart problems in the future so since you are still young, be guided by a specialist
February 26, 2010 at 12:25 am
In addition to my question above, i used to have a high b.p. around 150/100, 140/100, 130/90 while my normal b.p. used to be 120/80mm.hg.
