Badminton Ireland and the Irish Institute of Sport are working together closely to improve the fitness components of Ireland's elite players.

 The Irish Institute of Sport are completing full lab based fitness tests on our three Irish Olympic hopefuls Scott Evans, Chloe Magee (Pictured) and Sam Magee at regular intervals throughout the year and also offering additional services in the areas of nutrition, strength and conditioning and psychology

This work builds on the great work by Sian Williams under the guidance of Mats Mejdevi  from Denmark which has been a real breakthrough for our junior players. The basic physical tests will be rolled out further in the new year under the guidance of National Coach Dan Magee and the Irish Institute of Sport.
