I'm feeling good after two nights of badminton where the cardiovascular effect of the taxing game has drained out most of the toxicity of the stress hormones in my system, cortisol, adrenaline and whatever flight-or-fight chemicals. *LOL* And, in reward I got the 'feel good' hormones, mainly Endorphins. I have been alert, focus, creative and relax. It's really good to exercise and if possible do it rigorously if your health permits.
While it's good to exercise, it's a sure thing that we needed to rest in between sessions of badminton games or while working out, between sets and whatever physical routines we are performing. The rest in between recuperates back our energies, let us take break to refill our body fluids, let our body cools down and so on. After the rest, definitely we can last longer or perform better in the next workout than continuous workouts with no rest.
A doctor once told me the brain is like a muscle. Though there's no physical exertion, continuously stressing the mind is like a physical workout without rest. So, regardless of taking a short or long break in between work or other mental activities like driving may also yields the same good effect, as taking breaks in a sporting event. A short coffee break with a piece of cake might reinforced the mind and body to performed better. And, a long break like going for a vacation will do wonders!!
That's just my opinion and while I'm taking a short break over a long weekend with a dreaded monday off, I wishes you a good weekend! :)

vialentino - go slow bro. I was like you initially when I go back to sports, especially cardiovascular type like badminton. After playing regularly, you will notice that your fitness and stamina will improved. Try taking CoQ10 supplements too!
