“…Also, each line value around the target reached a different value depending on the athlete accuracy doing the test. This backhand serve test is also similar to the theory [22] that short serve in badminton requires a high degree of accuracy; the shuttlecock has a downward trajectory when it crosses the top of the net and forces the opponent to hit the shuttlecock again. This theory is also in line with [23] that the short serve direction is as thin as possible with the net.…”

This study aimed at developing a backhand serve test model for junior badminton athletes. The research method used was a research and development method. The samples of the study were more than 120 athletes divided into ten badminton clubs in Central Java. This study involved academics and badminton practitioners with an excellent design validation score that reached an average score more than 3.5. The product of the research was Backhand Serve Test Model development, which was equipped with the test norms for junior badminton athletes. The Short Serve Test validity score was 0.702 and the reliability of the test score was 0.910. The developed Serve Test model is proven suitable to be used for measuring the serve skills of junior badminton athletes, because the samples of this study were athletes aged 15-18 years. Of course, the developed test model will be useful as a measuring tool for the backhand serve test for junior badminton athletes at the regional level.

“…Short serve in badminton (most often using serve in doubles discipline) requires a high level of accuracy so that the shuttlecock has a downward trajectory when it passes over the top of the net, which forces the opponent to hit the shuttlecock back over the net at a high trajectory angle (Duncan et al, 2017;Edwards et al, 2007) [6,7] , will not land right past the service line if the shuttlecock is not returned. This makes it easier for servers to take offensive shots and score points (S. Vial et al, 2020) [18] . Judging from the data taken by the researchers, many athletes perform a half serve, making it easier for the opponent because the shuttlecock is not directional, then followed by the player's own mistakes such as going out, breaching the service (fault), and getting stuck in the net.…”

The purpose of this study was to analyze the results of the accuracy of targeting the backhand short serve badminton at the Dulongmas Regency Championships in 2022. This research method using a descriptive analysis approach with a survey approach. The population in this study were participants in the Dulongmas Regency Championships 2022. The sample for this study was male beginner doubles athletes aged 13-14 years. The data collection technique in this study used purposive sampling with the following criteria: 1) Male doubles athletes; 2) Age group 13-14 years; 3) Players of equal ability; 4) Video shooting is only 1 set. The data collection technique was carried out by making video observations that had been taken by researchers at the Dulongmas Regency Championship 2022 and then entering them into the table that had been prepared during the match. The data analysis technique used is descriptive statistics. The results of this study were a total of 147 service attempts made, 5 punches (3%) that killed the opponent, 44 punches (30%) that were too high from the net so that athletes lost points easily, 41 punches (28%) served undirected which makes it easier for the opponent to return the return serve, 11 strokes (7%) of the serve are troublesome so that the opponent has difficulty returning it, self-destructive service errors consisting of 13 strokes (9%) of the shuttlecock out of the court area (out), and 14 blows (10%) service violations made by players or so-called (faults), 7 strokes (5%) stuck in the net, and 12 strokes (8%) twitch service or what is often called a flick serve. Backhand service skills can be developed by maximizing training using various drill methods so that players can develop their game strategy on the field.

“…A closer inspection of this fact led to the following conclusion: hitting from regions at the sides of the back of the pitch leads to high entropy in the majority of matches, whereas hitting from the central back positions results in a diverse distribution of spatial entropies, with a low average value. As recently identified, the presence of an opponent modifies actions and subsequent reactions [ 18 ], so the use of zones 9 and 12 may open up more space in the opponent’s court, allowing more significant variability of hitting responses. However, when the players are more affected by the presence of the opponent in central zones, the hitting response is more predictable and then has less variability (entropy).…”

The aim of the current study was twofold: (i) to investigate the distribution of the strike positions of badminton players while quantifying the corresponding standard entropy and using an alternative metric (spatial entropy) related to winning and losing points and random positions; and (ii) to evaluate the standard entropy of the receiving positions. With the datasets of 259 badminton matches, we focused on the positions of players’ strokes and the outcome of each point. First, we identified those regions of the court from which hits were most likely to be struck. Second, we computed the standard entropy of stroke positions, and then the spatial entropy, which also considers the order and clustering of the hitting locations in a two-dimensional Euclidean space. Both entropy quantifiers revealed high uncertainty in the striking position; however, specific court locations (i.e., the four corners) are preferred over the rest. When the outcome of each point was taken into account, we observed that the hitting patterns with lower entropy were associated with higher probabilities of winning points. On the contrary, players striking from more random positions were more prone to losing the points.
