Abstract

Background and Goal of Study: Athletic performance results from a complex interaction between training, genetics and nutritional intake. In sports such as badminton, which demand endurance, speed and strength, nutrition plays a crucial role in supporting performance and recovery. Although nutrition is recognised as an important factor, there is limited research on the specific effects of nutrition on badminton athlete performance. This study aims to systematically analyse the existing literature on the influence of nutrition on badminton athlete performance, focusing on macronutrients, micronutrients and supplementation. Materials and Methods: This study used a systematic review approach, following PRISMA guidelines. Databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were reviewed for articles published from 2010 to 2023, using keywords related to nutrition and badminton. Studies that met the inclusion criteria were evaluated based on the research design, population, type of nutrition intervention, and performance measures used. Data were extracted and analysed qualitatively. Results: Of the 130 articles identified, 61 met the inclusion criteria. Findings showed that optimal carbohydrate intake, adequate hydration and nutritional timing significantly improved stamina and recovery. Supplementation with creatine and beta-alanine was also shown to improve strength and endurance performance. However, the effects of micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals were more variable and dependent on the individual's nutritional status before the intervention. Conclusion: Nutrition plays a vital role in supporting the performance of badminton athletes. Carbohydrates, adequate hydration, and certain supplements such as creatine and beta-alanine can improve performance. However, nutritional recommendations should be individualised based on the athlete's needs and goals. Further research is needed to examine micronutrient-specific effects and personalised nutrition strategies in badminton.
