Effectiveness of high intensity circuit training with body weight on lower limb strength, agility and speed in badminton players: A comparative study

High Intensity Circuit Training is a combination of aerobic and resistance training in high intensity with limited resting time. HICT is designed to perform a set of exercises quickly, with good form and technique, with minimal rest in between. This can be accommodated by a 30-second exercise bout, as most individuals can reach and sustain a suitable intensity for 30 seconds. Using a heart rate monitoring during exercise, participants can determine absolute intensity (HRmax = 220 - Age). The goal of high-intensity protocol is to achieve maximal exercise intensity in the shortest amount of time. It has been found that 30 seconds of rest maximizes the metabolic impact of HICT, maximizing its benefits. Badminton is a high intensity game requiring strength, agility and speed. The lower limb strength of the players is required for producing stronger smashes that are created by the transferred energy from legs to upper body
