“…Overall, fat mass values were lower than those observed in other sport disciplines [42]. Compared to other racket sports, high-level table tennis players showed lower fat mass than elite senior padel [3,43], and closer to elite badminton [44][45][46], squash [47,48], and tennis players [49,50]. Furthermore, table tennis players presented a shorter stature than other racket sports disciplines [3,46,51,52].…”

Table tennis has recently evolved towards a more spectacular sport increasing match-play demands and the intensity and speed of actions by regulations and equipment modification. Since these changes can alter the body composition and performance, this study aimed to analyze the differences in anthropometric attributes of 495 table tennis players (288 men, 207 women) according to sex, age, and ranking. Players were classified according to sex, age categories (Senior, Under-18, Under-15, Under 13, and Under 11), and ranking position. Anthropometry measurements included eight skinfolds’ thicknesses (biceps brachii, triceps, subscapular, iliac crest, supraspinal, abdominal, thigh, and medial calf), four girths (biceps brachii relaxed and contracted, thigh, and calf), and three breadths (biepicondylar femur, biepicondylar humerus, and bistiloyd wrist) to determine fat mass, lean mass, bone, cross sectional area (CSA) for arm, leg, and thigh, and somatotype. Results revealed that table tennis players presented differences in body mass composition, anthropometry, and somatotype according to sex and age category and ranking. It seems confirmed that regular table tennis practice during the childhood is associated with a healthy body composition status, that appears to be maintained across older ages if keeping the practice. Senior table tennis players showed a fat mass <20% and lean mass ~45% in men and ~37% in women. A new contribution is that higher lean mass in the upper limbs was associated with higher ranking position (i.e., better performance), endomorphic somatotypes were negative related to performance, and ectomorphic profiles seems more effective, which suggest the potential influence of morphologic changes in table tennis competition performance.

“…The study of applied anthropometry in the field of sports will address the proportion of body, performance (optimal, minimum and maximum weight) and biomechanics. Researchers compared the results obtained in badminton players in South Kalimantan with several studies which have the same characteristics including anthropometric characteristics and motor performance of Nigerian badminton players, the result of which is a significant correlation between anthropometric characteristics and motor performance in Nigerian badminton players [14]. In the study conducted on 20 male badminton players and 9 female badminton players with an average age of 21.24 ± 6.41 years, measurements were taken on several anthropometric components including height (cm), weight (kg), body fat (%), body mass index (kg m2) and average arm length (cm).…”

This study aims to describe the anthropometric and motor performance profile of junior male badminton athletes in South Kalimantan. The model of this research is descriptive quantitative. The used method is survey with data retrieval technique using test and measurement. This research was conducted on 14 badminton athletes from the Students Education and Training Center (PPLP) of South Kalimantan Province were 14.86 ± 1.41 years and 14.00 ± 1.63 years. Data were collected by measuring the anthropometry of athletes including height, weight, body mass index and foot length. In addition, motor performance data collection is done among hand eye coordination, agility, speed and aerobic performance such as VO2 Max. Data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. The mean values of anthropometry (height, weight, body mass index and foot length) of male badminton players in this study were 162.43 ± 4.69 cm, weight 53.14 ± 9.65 kg, body mass index of 20.13 ± 3.36 kg m2, foot length of 25.06 ± 0.89 cm. The mean values of anthropometry (height, weight, body mass index and foot length) of female badminton athletes in this study were height 155.75 ± 5.74 cm, weight 55.0 ± 5.87 kg, body mass index 22.78 ± 3.27 kg m2, foot length 24.33 ± 0.79 cm. Meanwhile for the physical condition of male badminton players (aerobic endurance, speed, agility, hand eye coordination) are as follows: aerobic endurance 37.12 ± 6.54 ml / kg / minute, speed 3.65 ± 0.56 s, agility 6.98 ± 0.44 s, eye hand coordination 12.71 ± 3.83 times. While the average value of female badminton players is as follows: aerobic endurance 26.10 ± 1.40 ml / kg / minute, speed 4.06 ± 0.24 s, agility 8.23 ± 0.15 s, hand eye coordination 9.00 ± 2.94 times. Badminton players in South Kalimantan have an average anthropometry score and lower motor performance compared to badminton players Nigeria, Brazil and the Philippines. The results of this study can provide information to the coaches and sport scientist in designing and developing training programs to improve the performance of badminton player.

“…As a result of their study, Ayuningtyas et al (2021) stated long arms and legs, low body fat percentage and strong musculature in the arms, and the ectomorphic component with a slim body shape makes it easier for elite badminton players to move combined in all positions. Badminton players reveal a significant relationship between some anthropometric characteristics and motor performance characteristics such as higher reaction speed and agility (Abdullahi et al, 2017).…”

“…Previous studies investigated the anthropometric and physiological profiles of badminton players in terms of the level of expertise and sex, including comparisons with players in various nationalities (Ooi et al, 2009;Heller, 2010;Abián et al, 2012;Abdullahi et al, 2017). However, regarding elite badminton players, the correlation among total/regional body composition, multiple repeated sprint ability (MRSAB) test, and vertical jump performance test was observed to be limited.…”

Relationship Between Body Composition, Multiple Repeated Sprint Ability and Vertical Jump Performance in Elite Badminton Players

The purpose of this study was to assess the correlation between the body composition, multiple repeated sprint ability (MRSAB) test, and vertical jump performance. Fifteen voluntary elite Turkish badminton players participated in the study. The MRSAB test consisted of 2 repetitions of 4 movements (4x3m) separated by 30 seconds of passive recovery. The best time (BT), meantime (MT), total time (TT), and fatigue index (FI) were measured. Body composition was evaluated through dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Squat jump (SJ) test for explosive power and countermovement jump (CMJ) test for elastic power were used. The main findings were that there was a significant correlation between MRSAB MT and TT with lean body mass, lean arm mass, and trunk lean mass (kg) of male badminton players. However, no significant correlation was observed among MRSAB MT, BT, and TT with another total/regional body composition of female badminton players (p>0.05). Moreover, the results of male badminton players showed that there was a significant negative correlation between FI and percentage ofbody fat (%BF), percentage of leg fat (%LF), percentage of trunk fat (%TF), and trunk mass. In addition, there was a significant negative correlation between FI with %BF, body fat mass kg, percentage of arm fat (%AF), arm fat mass, and %LF of female badminton players. It was also found in the study that there was a significant correlation between SJ and %LF; CMJ and %BF, body fat mass kg, %AF, %LF and leg fat mass kg. However, no significant correlation was observed among CMJ and SJ with other total/regional body compositions of male badminton players (p>0,05). Finally, changes in body composition are important issues for the physical performance level of badminton players as regional excess body fat may cause deterioration, especially in repeated-sprint ability and jumping performance.
