“…Two possible explanations for these results may be as follows: the players’ lack of experience to perceive relevant information during match-play to change their play patterns; or excessive use of forehand clear in B, not promoting motor variability. Giménez Egido [ 27 ] found similar results in tennis, while the study conducted by Nor Azmil et al [ 40 ] regarding badminton found that players increased their rally length by reducing the net height, court size and racket size. These results from two studies may have different meanings: Fitzpatrick et al [ 49 ] indicated that an improved rally length leads to increased learning; nevertheless, Schimodffer et al [ 62 ] showed evidence that a longer duration of the rally implies a more defensive playing style.…”

“…Finally, several studies highlighted that a strong limiting factor for learning is net height in child tennis [ 21 , 23 , 24 , 26 , 27 ] and badminton [ 40 ] players. These studies indicate that it is necessary to decrease the net height according to the players’ need and characteristics for optimal development, as a greater number of errors occur when players hit inside the net.…”

“…The second study investigated the effects of practice under Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU), NLP and LP, indicating that students are more engaged during NPL or TGfU (age ~13 years old) than LP lessons [ 39 ]. Finally, the study conducted by Nor Azmi et al [ 40 ] assessed the effect of playing in four different conditions, manipulating the racquet (40.0 cm to 35.0 cm), net (1.5 m to 1.2 m) and court size (13.40 m × 6.1 m). Four groups ( n = 40, under-9 players) played in the following conditions: standard racquet, net and court size (SRSC); standard racquet, modified court and net (SRMC); modified racquet, standard court and net (MRSC); and modified racquet court and net (MRMC).…”

Effect of Scaling Task Constraints on the Learning Processes of Under-11 Badminton Players during Match-Play

et al. 2020

Scaling equipment and the playing space according to junior badminton players’ characteristics and needs is a key aspect to design optimal learning environments. The purpose of the study is to analyze the incidence of reducing the court size (from 13.40 m × 5.18 m to 11.88 m × 5.18 m) and net height (from 1.55 m to 1.30 m) for under-11 badminton players on the following technical and tactical variables: (a) service area; (b) stroke effectiveness; (c) kinds of technical strokes; (d) players’ hitting area; (e) shuttle landing area; (f) shuttle flight; and (g) rally length. Twenty-eight badminton players (mean age of players: 9.81 ± 0.93) were selected and played a badminton competition (B) with the current federative rules and a mini-badminton competition (MB) with the altered net height and court dimensions. The results showed that a lower net height and a shorter court would increase the frequency and variability of strokes and play patterns, introducing quantifiable changes considered beneficial for children in their first stages, both in training and competition.

“…Studies about modified equipment show that changing the equipment can have a positive effect on performance and learning (e.g., Farrow and Reid, 2010 ; Buszard et al, 2014 ; Timmerman et al, 2015 ; Limpens et al, 2018 ; Oppici et al, 2018 ; Brocken et al, 2020 ; Nor Azmi et al, 2020 ). At the moment, two explanations dominate in the literature.…”

Using Modified Equipment in Field Hockey Leads to Positive Transfer of Learning Effect

et al. 2021

Cross-education is the phenomenon in which repeated practice of a unilateral motor task does not only result in performance improvement of the trained limb, but also in the untrained contralateral limb. The aim of this study was to test whether cross-education or positive transfer of learning is also achieved for tasks in which both limbs contribute in different ways by using modified equipment that switches the limbs’ role. To this end, a reverse field hockey stick was used that requires a mirroring of arm and hand use and dominance (i.e., right hand on top of the hockey stick instead of the left hand). Two groups of young skilled female field hockey players participated in a crossover-design, in which participants received four training sessions with a reverse hockey stick followed by four training sessions with a regular hockey stick, or vice versa. In a pre-test, intermediate test (following the first intervention period), a post-test (after the second intervention period) and a retention test, participants’ performance on a field hockey skill test with a regular hockey stick was measured. The results revealed that training with the reversed hockey stick led to significantly increased improvements compared to training with a regular hockey stick. We conclude that modified equipment can be used to exploit positive transfer of learning by switching the limbs’ roles. The findings are discussed by referring to the symmetry preservation principle in dynamic systems theory and have clear practical relevance for field hockey trainers and players seeking to further improve field hockey skills.

“…In badminton, over the past decades, there have been very large changes in technical equipment and effectiveness of technical and tactical training [22]. Reducing the weight of the racket, improving the quality of the shuttlecock and racket, changing the rules of sports competitions have led to a noticeable increase in the speed of the entire game, a decrease in the processing time of the shuttlecock, and as a result -to an increase in the intensity of the training and load [5]. These changes influenced the structure of physical training, the strategy of competitive struggle, the planning and programming of the training process, which caused a change in the philosophy and conceptual foundations of the game of badminton [6].…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the technical and tactical styles of the world's best badminton players at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. Materials and methods: The research material consisted of the post-event analysis of 58 matches from the Tokyo Olympics. Through AHP analysis (analytic hierarchy process) to 6 temporal variables with a high influence on match/game effectiveness were selected. Match/game statistical analysis, with the one-way measure of the variance (ANOVA), and independent-sample T-test, were conducted by using IBM SPSS for Windows version 22.0 (IBM. Corp. Armonk, NY) in order to compare the statistical differences. Results: This conducted study showed that frequency of strokes in badminton was 1-1.12 strokes/sec, which is one of the longest rally strokes. The mean and standard deviation of the women's singles players, particularly in the knockout stage, is greater than the mean and standard deviation of the group stage. Results show the differences between Group Phase (35.05±9.77, 47.07±13.12, s, P=0.020) and Eliminatory Phase (11.93±1.58, 13.93±2.30, s, P=0.030) respectively. Conclusions: The women's singles competition currently mainly revolves around the technical and tactical styles of "fast-oriented", "offensive-oriented" and “self-oriented”. This is in line with the current trend of development of the world's women's singles athletes' more "masculine" style of play.
