[Purpose] To clarify the characteristics of fluctuations in the center of gravity (CoG) of badminton players by comparing them between those with high and low performance levels. [Subjects] Eight male badminton players belonging to teams ranked among the top 3 at the All Japan Badminton Championships (high-level group) and 8 playing badminton for recreation in university clubs (low-level group)...

Despite performance analysis’ proliferation as part of the coaching process, there remains a dearth of literature examining coaches’ perceptions of its use. Equally, a distinct gap in literature exists examining the use of performance analysis in the context of badminton. This study aimed to address these issues through an exploration of badminton coaches’ perceptions of the potential use of pe...

Representational momentum (RM) has been found to be magnified in experts (e.g., sport players) with respect to both real and implied motion in expert-familiar domains. However, it remains unclear whether similar effects can be achieved in expert-unfamiliar domains, especially within the context of implied motion. To answer this question, we conducted two independent experiments using an implied...

There is a scarcity of descriptive data on the performance capacity of elite badminton players, whose fitness requirements are quite specific. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the physiological response of elite badminton players in a sport-specific fitness test. Twelve Hong Kong national badminton team players performed a field test on a badminton court. Six light bulbs were connect...

Plyometric training is popular among individuals involved in dynamic sports, and plyometric exercises such as jumping, hopping, skipping and bounding are executed with the goal of increasing dynamic muscular performance, especially jumping. Much less information is available on the effectiveness of plyometric training (PT) in badminton, where jumping high (e.g. forehand overhead jump-smash) is ...

the aim of this research was to examine the effects of pettlep-based imagery compared to more traditional imagery on learning badminton short service (backhand). for this purpose, 45 male students (age 12-14 years) were non-randomly selected and divided into three groups of 15 students each (they were beginners). the groups exercised in the following way: first group performed pettlep-based ima...

Although badminton is played in many parts of the world, it is most popular in South-East Asia. It is a racket game with a shuttlecock played as singles between two or as doubles between four players. The racket is similar to a squash racket but much lighter. The shuttlecock is almost cone-shaped, 31 in. long with a diameter of 21 in. at one end and i in. at the other. Most ocular injuries occu...

The aim of the study was to determine the structure of morpho-functional models that determine the level of sports performance in three consecutive stages of training of young badminton players. In the course of the study, 3 groups of young badminton players were examined: 40 preadolescents aged 11-13, 32 adolescents aged 14-16, and 24 adolescents aged 17-19. The scope of the study involved bas...

background: grip strength is one of the important criteria in determining the physical fitness of all people, especially athletes. the purpose of this study was to compare the hand-grip strength of young highly trained male athletes of different fields and the effect of some anthropometric indices on it. methods: this cross-sectional study was done on 78 athletes of four fields -wrestling, badm...

The typical badminton player with an Achilles tendon rupture is 36 years old and, despite limbering up, is injured at the rear line in a sudden forward movement. He resumes work within three months and has a slight lack of dorsiflexion in the ankle as the main complication. Most patients resume badminton within one year, but some finish their sports career, mainly due to fear of a new injury. T...
