and Olympic medalist,                Marcus Ellis

is one of the best badminton           players on the planet.

With the help of fellow           Olympian, Lolo Jones,

we're pushing             the Briton through

to find out why he's so             good at badminton.

and welcome to       Anatomy of a Badminton Player.

Joining me at the University          of Westminster in London

is British star, Marcus Ellis.          Are you ready for this?

-Yep, let's do it.                -All right.

demanding sports              in the Olympics.

Not only does it require               immense skill,

explosive movements and      sustained efforts of endurance.

Marcus demonstrated          his incredible qualities

He won bronze            in the men's doubles

Marcus has kept his body in       peak condition since standing

on the podium in Brazil,           clinching one European

First up,           we're going to look at

Marcus' body composition           with the Bod Pod test.

that measures someone's             body composition.

It measures the volume           of their body and also

how heavy they are and from        their mass and their volume

we can extrapolate a lot              of information,

And now we'll shoot              him to the moon.

Marcus gave us a number           of about four percent.

So to put that in context,          a score of four percent

is comparable to elite         ultra-endurance athletes.

Okay, let's get you               out of there.

Badminton! Who knew that            they would be the...

slimmest,          most shredded athletes?

He almost broke the machine              he was so lean.

alongside the world's best            endurance athletes.

Badminton players have to carry         their body weight for long

periods around the court and      lift it in the air for smashes,

so it's understandable              that he's lean.

Now we are going to find out       about Marcus' anaerobic power.

Okay Marcus,          so now we're going to do

something called           a Wingate cycle test.

Wingate's are famous for being            really brutal tests,

during which we are going to       make you pedal for 30 seconds

and then a bit more.        And this is going to measure

what we call            your anaerobic power

or your ability             to produce a mass

amount of force           and then sustain that

Marcus exercises anaerobically              when making high

intensity movements like            smashes and lunges.

His heart cannot pump oxygen       quickly enough around his body

so he uses glycogen stored          in the muscles instead.

Building, building, building,            building, building.

Fast as you can.           Three, two, one. Drop.

-C'mon on, buddy! C'mon on!       -C'mon let's go, you got this.

-Good. Good. That's it.          -Way to work, Let's go.

Push, push, push.                  Come on.

I knew even though I could           probably put out quite

a strong output that I would         tailor off quite quickly.

-Work, work, work, work, work,               -Almost there.

-work, work, work, work...         -Almost, almost, almost...

-Almost. Good.             -Work, work, work.

Nice, slow it down,               slow it down.

It was kind of funny to see him           fade out fast because

I know exactly how that            feels as a sprinter.

You're doing almost            13.5 watts per kilo

during this test which       is a really phenomenal score,

and at the end there you were        at almost half that number,

so you'd dropped off             to more like seven

watts per kilo, which             is a massive drop.

And that kind of represents                 your sport

I think, because you have              a lot of really

high powerful movements,        but then you stop and reset

So it's a real intermittent,           on off, on off sport.

Within two seconds, Marcus was         able to reach a peak power

But badminton features short,            explosive movements

which is why he faded down        to half his maximum wattage

Marcus, you get some air           while going for those

smashes, so this next test          will be perfect for you.

I hope so.            Let's give it a go.

is quite a simple test of lower           body explosive power.

How powerful an            athlete's legs are.
