I'm regurlary playing a huge amount of badminton matches on saturday.. I
usualy feel weird after those matches, so I borrowed my friends heart
monitor for a look.

For three hours straight, my heart stayed way above 100 and peaked at 193.
Wich showed, that I spent 2900 calories in those three hours.

I'm a bodybuilder who is concerned with is health and my muscle mass.

Now, I know that those watch are not 100% accurate, but it does show some
truth, I'm spending a lot.

Is that much exercise bad for my health? How many calories can muscle
store before my system begins to break them down? I don't want to lose my
muscle mass. Can I eat/drink something with really high caloric level
that my system could burn instead of muscle breakdown?

Sure, you could tell me to stop doing this badminton day, but I love it...

Thanks for your tips!!!

How old are you? Your heart rate sounds pretty high, and if you're
feeling wierd afterwards you might be overdoing it. Couldn't hurt
to talk to your doctor about it...

I'm 29, weighting 170 at about 11bf... I consider myself in shape, doing
like 10hour of exercise per week. It peeks at time to 190, but does not
stay long there.. Badminton is realy energie consuming, especialy when you
not good!(running for nothing! hahah)

Thanks for the advice, maybe i'll check with my doctor.. But I doubt he'll
give my nutrution advice about my muscles! : )

If your heart rate returns to normal after a few minutes of relative
inactivity, you're probably not doing anything that's bad for your
health. As to whether or not it's bad for your muscle gains, the only
way to know that is to try stopping it or at least cutting it back and
seeing what happens.

First, thank you all for your question

Quoted message said:

What kind of heart rate monitor, if its a Polar, then it's EKG
accurate.

Yes, a Polar watch...

Quoted message said:

If you were doing some serious aerobics for those 3 hours, than staying
above 100 is not bad, peaking at 193..ummm....How old are you? If you
under 30, thats not bad, it just means you were doing some serious
aerobics. What to watch out for is, did you heart rate go down right
after the excersie?

Took like 20 minutes to go under 100 bpm.. is this alright? I'm 29. And
yes, it is extreme, almost non stop, very hard core! LOL!! Even involves
diving! : )

Quoted message said:

If you want to burn fat, not muscle, I suggest you do your heavy
aerobics in the morning on an empty stomach and not eat until about an
hour after your aerobic session.

I don't wanna loose fat, that's not the point to the badminton.. I just
love this game.. It's just, when you think of it, burning alomst 3000
calories, my system must break down some muscles to have this must energy...

Thanks!!

2900k for 3 hours? That would be the equiv. of running at 8mph for 3
hours straight. Sound way off for bad mitton.

I dunno... I used to play a *lot* of badminton as a child and (very)
young adult. It was pretty good exercise, IIRC. And having long
legs and long arms was an advantage. This was all back-yard playing,
tho. And, tho I enjoyed it, I always kind of thought the game kind
of "wimpy." Then I saw *real* badminton played on a *real* court (at
a YMCA, IIRC). Holy smokes! From what I recall, it's quite
intense.

The heart-rate will be accurate if it's a quality HRM. (You later
note it's a Polar. That qualifies.) But the total expended kcals is
probably not right. The HRM "estimates" your calorie expenditure
based on personal data--part of it entered manually (age, weight) and
part "learned" (with some models). If you borrowed somebody elses,
set up for them, well...

I worked out 30 minutes the other day, 10 minutes each on treadmill,
(upright) stationary bike and elliptical trainer. Calories consumed,
according the the machines: 48, 63 and 88, respectively, for a total
of 199 kcals. According to my Polar M32, I burned 414 kcals (35% of
that fat, it "thought"😉. I've never done the "OwnCal" calibration
for it to "learn" my exertion levels. Maybe doing that would get it
closer in agreement to what the machines say. I'll have to try that
some day.

It is a very expensive polar watch.. And yes it was setup carefully.. Age
ok, weight ok.

Weird that there is that much of a difference... Those machine were working
with your hear rate right? I was like 100% that I did not burned 3000
cal... it sounds too much for three hours.. but then, I read some web pages
that intense badminton can use up to 800 cal/hour...

Anyway, there's no mathematical equation that'll help me out here.. But
based on all your thought, I understand it better!

Thanks all

It's not the same.. I do some jogging once in a while, and that don't brings
me down like badminton... It's the sprint-stop-sprint-stop effect that's
hard on me I think.. This is called anaerobic(badminton) vs aerobic(joggin)
I think??

Yes, it will. But if your weight is stable, it's probably
putting the consumed weight back on overnight as badminton muscle.
Whatever that would be.
