    "Statistics Don't Lie"

    Submitted by the USBA. 16FEB96 Updated by the IGPB. 28NOV96

    location: http://www.worldbadminton.com/badfacts.html

    The speed and the stamina required for badminton are far greater than for any other racket sport.

    At the 1985 All England (Tennis) Championships, Boris Becker defeated Kevin Curren 6-3, 6-7, 7-6, 6-4.

    At the 1985 World Badminton Championships in Calgary, Canada, Han Jian of China defeated Morten Frost of Denmark, 14-18, 15-10, 15-8.

    The following is a statistical comparison of those matches.

    TENNIS

    BADMINTON

    Time:

    3 hours and 18 minutes

    1 hour and 16 minutes

    Ball/Shuttle in Play:

    18 minutes

    37 minutes

    Match Intensity*:

    9 percent

    48 percent

    Rallies:

    299

    146

    Shots:

    1,004

    1,972

    Shots Per Rally:

    3.4

    13.5

    Distance Covered:

    2 miles

    4 miles.

    *The actual time the ball/shuttle was in flight, divided by the length of the match.

    Note that the badminton players competed for half the time, yet

    ran twice as far and hit nearly twice as many shots.
