ProfessorThe most important muscles are your leg muscles. Without them you would not be able to get to the ball and hit a shot. Next comes the core muscles your abdominals and back muscles, which work in tandem with each other and stabilize the body and help you serve. Your shoulder, including deltoids and scapula [rotator cuff] muscles are employed every time you play any shot whatsoever; they are particularly active during serve and overhead smashes. Forearm strength is a must for snapping your wrist on a serve and simply assist your grip of the racquet: they stabilize, making sound volleys, and solid groundstrokes. I've got a better question:
What muscles don't you use when you are playing a sport ... Any sport??
Well soccer, you don't really need arm strength but you still use them to balance yourself. Why do people ask these questions?
Yes, in almost ANY "ballistic" activity, you use virtually every single muscle in your body, including facial!!
Badminton is a sport a bit like tennis but tennis uses tennis balls and with badminton you use a ball with feather things on it. Anyway, back to the answer for the question... you're mainly using the movement of your arms for that type of sport so you should mainly workout/exercise the muscles in your arms!
Muscles for swinging and the snap of the wrist.
Muscles from running, jumping and lunging.
You may feel extremely sore in your racquet/lunging leg glute and groin after playing badminton from lunging for shots at the net.
Many muscles are used. I don't know the exact names but here are some and the parts of the body:
- Back
- Forearem
- Shoulder
- Glutes
- Quads (thighs)

- Groins
