Relationship between agility and lower limb muscle strength, targeting university badminton players

Abstract

[Purpose] Targeting university badminton players, this study investigated the relationship between agility, which is associated with performance in badminton, and lower limb muscle strength, and examined which muscles influence agility. [Subjects and Methods] A total of 23 male university badminton players were evaluated for side-shuffle test scores and lower limb strength. The relationships between agility, lower limb strength, and duration of experience playing badminton were evaluated using a correlation analysis. Moreover, the relationship between agility and lower limb strength was evaluated by partial correlation analysis, adjusting for the effects of experience of each badminton player. [Results] The agility score correlated with hip extension and ankle plantar flexion strength, with adjustment for badminton experience. [Conclusion] This study suggests that hip extension training and improvement in ankle plantar flexion strength may improve agility.

Motor and Basic Cognitive Functions in Children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Undergoing Induction or Consolidation Chemotherapy

“…Leone et al. (2014) also found agility problems among children with ALL who had been in complete remission for at least one-year, and Sonoda et al. (2018) found similar result and suggested that poor strength capacity may be its basis.…”

“…Motor problems, particularly fine motor and balance difficulties, among children being treated for ALL were later confirmed in a review publication (Green et al, 2013). Leone et al (2014) also found agility problems among children with ALL who had been in complete remission for at least one-year, and Sonoda et al (2018) found similar result and suggested that poor strength capacity may be its basis. In the present study, we found evidence for motor dysfunction that exceeded fine motor and balance skills to include difficulties with agility and muscle strength on the BOT 2-SF.…”

Media-based agility training model of badminton games for students of universitas negeri jakarta badminton club

“…Successful performance in badminton requires players to accelerate, slow down, change direction, move fast and maintain balance (Girard & Millet, 2008; (Duncan, Chan, Clarke, Cox, & Smith, 2017). Change of speed is the ability to speed up and slow down at the same time as a change of direction (Sonoda, Tashiro, & Suzuki, 2018).…”

Attitude Perception of Badminton Players Based on Mobile Edge Computing

“…For example, in [8], for the complex environment, depth image technology is used for gesture recognition, and the average recognition rate of gesture can reach 98.4%. In racket motion recognition based on image and video data acquisition, [9] established an event hiding Markov model with binary classification according to the position of players on the court. Literature [10] proposed a badminton game data mining method based on two-dimensional sequence images.…”
