Answer:
Shuttle run footwork, or as some call it, “Pick up the birds”, is an essential training exercise for all badminton players. This drill trains your movement on the court, strengthens your legs, and trains your endurance through the length of a game. The players who already actively do this exercise dread it, but know its benefits. The ones who do not yet do it can learn how to do it here!
What is Shuttle Run Footwork?
Essentially, shuttle run footwork is the act of picking up shuttles from one corner on a badminton court and moving it to another corner on the court, while doing the proper footwork like you would while playing in a match. The added benefit of this rather than normal shadow footwork is that you will be lunging and bending down for each corner, causing you to work more on your quads and glutes than you would be working if you were playing a normal match.
