Background: Endurance is a key component in the performance of badminton athletes, which can affect their ability to endure intense matches. Interval training methods have been recognized as an effective strategy to improve athletes’ endurance in various sports. However, its effectiveness, specifically in badminton, has yet to be fully explored. This study aimed to systematically observe the existing literature regarding the use of interval training methods and their impact on the endurance of badminton athletes. Materials and Methods: This review collected relevant studies through searches in databases such as Web of Science, PubMed and Scopus, using keywords related to “interval training” and “badminton endurance.” Inclusion criteria included studies that indicated the effects of interval training methods on badminton athletes, both practising and novice. Analyses were conducted to assess study quality and identify significant results. Results: This review identified several studies demonstrating significant improvements in aerobic and anaerobic endurance following interval training. Influential variables included exercise duration, frequency and intensity. The studies also highlighted the role of interval training in improving overall performance on the field. Conclusion: The interval training method was shown to be effective in improving the endurance of badminton athletes. The findings support the implementation of interval training in badminton training programs and suggest further research to explore broader variables of influence and practical applications of the method.
