Phases of Training
When planning a training programme, it is important to have a goal
or goals in mind, thus giving an aim for your overall programme.
In Badminton your aim may be to be able to continue to play
effectively throughout long physically demanding Badminton
matches during the competitive season. This may be in several
months time.
In this situation you need to have several shorter-term targets to
maintain your motivation and keep your interest. These targets
must be achievable but also challenging.
As you achieve each target, your training programme will be
adjusted to make your body work harder to ensure continuous
improvement

across the year, these are;
• Preparation period (pre-season)
• Competition period (in season)
• Transition period (off season)
