I agree with the OP that Badminton does work on the body asymmetrically. Myself being right-handed have noticed by right shoulder, forearm and thigh to be noticeably larger than my left side. Obviously swinging the racket helps to work on the right arm a lot, but also lunging and pushing off with the right leg as well.
Whilst I don't notice notice my feet being longer than the other (I can't see why it would be?!), I do find there is an imbalance of muscle mass between my left and right side.
How do you try to even this out? do you work out more on your non-dominant side with weights/in the gym? or do you accept it and move on?![]()
I went to a personal trainer for an extended period of time to address a few things including your own question.Resurrecting this thread rather than creating a new one.
