i would like to suggest a music that might boost your adrenaline. are you familiar with canon rock?
the beat of this music will get you in rhythm and will make your brain work twice as much.. also reaction time is also determined by your eyes condition. if you have a poor eyesight, you will most likely fail to see what is coming. i suggest you rest your eyes before a game to lessen the strain on your eye receptors.
also one thing you could do to hasten your eye movements/reaction on incoming things, do a speed reading. you would most likely argue that it is out of the topic but having a fast perception of how things will go will make your brain transmit information quickly.
EXERCISE:
cover a 2 line sentence from a book. every 5 seconds, quickly remove the cover and bring it back again. with that split second, try to read the sentence. do this exercise for 1 whole week about 10 sentences a day will show give you a boost in your eyes and brain transmission of information.
hope this would help

Interesting post. I have taken speed reading classes but never thought this technique could help on a badminton court.
Has anyone else got any special techniques or practices that help to improve reaction times?

Offline I haven’t read the whole thread but I surely will. So if I repeat something someone has said before, I apologize for that.
To increase your reaction speed with the method I’ve seen, you just need a friend and a dozen of shuttles.
Your friend stay on the other side of the court just in front of the net and throw the shuttles to you. He can do whatever he wants, your goal is to send back all the shuttles. Don’t know if it was clear enough but it looks really hard to do and seems to work 🙂

Great post. This is a good exercise. I’ve seen it done many times. To make it harder you can have the player with their back to the net. The feeder calls and then throws. The player therefore has time to spin and see the shuttle in flight before moving.
With any training exercise, it’s important that the feed is good, otherwise it will fall apart. The problem for most players who wish to improve, is finding some one who can feed well and consistently so that they get the most from the training session.
Thanks again Jonathan

Coke and coffee may increase reaction times but they’re not good foods to have around sport.
There are better altenatives like energy drinks especially the professional drinks rather than the off the shelf types. You have to consider that players who enter tournaments may be subject to doping tests and therefore they need to ensure only the right foods are in their system.
That said for most club and league players, perhaps a cup of coffee will actually help them play better!
