Investigation of the effect of acute badminton training on selected biomotoric parameters

Abstract

Background and Study Aim. One of the fastest racquet sports in the world, badminton is defined as a versatile, explosive sprint sport that requires players to perform intense rhythmic movements with its highly competitive and dynamic feature. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of 4-week badminton training on some selected biomotoric features in young individuals engaged in recreational sports.
 Material and Methods. Twenty seven students of sports sciences voluntarily participated in the study (age = 18,85 ± 0,98 years). A total of 4 weeks of training was given for 2 hours a day specific to badminton sport. We examined the effects of pre-post training development of biomotoric properties, flexibility, reaction, vertical jump, balance and agility parameters on performance. Statistical analyzes of the data obtained as a result of the research were obtained using the IBM SPSS 23.0 package program.
 Results. The differences before and after badminton training, a statistically significant difference was found between pretest and posttest measurements of flexibility (5.53%), reaction (24.66%), vertical jump (8.93%), and agility (2.54%) tests (p<0.05). In the balance test, although there was a mathematical difference of 17.84%, this difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Finally, 4-week training improves flexibility, reaction, vertical jump and agility performances in a positive and meaningful way (p<0.05).
 Conclusions. The findings showed that the training method specific to badminton sport improved the flexibility, reaction, vertical jump and agility performances of individuals compared to pre-training. Specifically, these results revealed that the training-performance relationship clearly affects each other positively. In future studies, it can be predicted that more multidisciplinary training methods will be directed to research by making macro plans.

Badmintoncularda Life Kinetik Antrenmanlarının Bazı Koordinatif Yetenekler Üzerine Etkisi

“…Badmintonda denge ve çeviklik gibi koordinatif yetenekler, özellikle kaliteli vuruşların yapılması, ayak çalışmasının daha iyi gerçekleştirilmesi, patlayıcı alt ve üst vücut hareketlerinin yapılması ve çok çeşitli hızlı postürel hareketlerin gerçekleştirilmesi için büyük önem taşımaktadırlar (Khatoon ve Thiyagarajan, 2021;Wong vd., 2019). Birçok beceriyi içinde barındıran karmaşık oyun yapısı nedeniyle badmintonda, sporcular performanslarını artırmak için teknik, dirençli pliometrik, pliometrik, core ve özel kuvvet antrenmanları gibi farklı antrenman yöntemleri uygulamaktadırlar (Albayati ve Civan, 2018;Ozmen ve Aydoğmuş, 2016;Sturgess ve Newton, 2008;Topal ve Özkaya, 2022;Yılmaz, 2022). Birçok spor branşında sporcuların koordinatif yeteneklerini geliştirmek için kullandıkları yöntemlerden biri de life kinetik antrenman metodudur.…”
