Excerpt: The compliance of a badminton racket is an important design consideration, which can be better understood by studying the deflection behaviour of the racket during a stroke. Deflection can be measured using direct methods, such as motion capture or high speed video, or by indirect methods, which then require a mathematical model in order to calculate the deflections from indirect measures. Indirect methods include strain gauges and accelerometers. Here, racket deflection is measured directly using motion capture and compared with deflections calculated from strain gauge data using a beam mode

Excerpt: Contingent Negative Variation (CNV) is well known to be a long-latency electroencephalography (EEG) surface negative potential that can be observed berween a warning signal (S1) and a response signal (S2). The CNV is thought to be associated with motor preparationand/pr response anticipation. Simple visual or auditory signels have been adopted as the S1 and S2 in previous studies. In this study, we evaluated CNv by using badminton video clips as the signal.

Excerpt: In the most simplistic biomechanical model, nerves stimulate muscles, muscles produce forces, tendons transmit forces from muscle to bone, bones act as levers, and joints act as fulcrums to create movement. To achieve the intricate movements of a gymnast or the power and speed of a sprinter, a series of complex interactions within the components of the musculoskeletal system must be orchestrated. Neurophysiological, intracellular and biomechanical processes are all involved in creating movement.

Excerpt: This paper adopts a narrative perspective on the study of mid-life experiences in sport. Different types of stories about sporting mid-life are identified and discussed. Drawing upon the concept of narrative mapping, the potential of these stories to serve as narrative maps for those approaching mid-life is considered. Data from an interview study with 26 participants aged between 35 and 55 years of age, from badminton, distance running, outdoor activities and health clubs is provided. Paradigmatic and structural analyses were conducted on the data in order to identify story types and predomi

Excerpt: The long latency (>50ms) cutaneous reflex was thought to be mediated via transcortical pathways and has been demonstrated to be subject to plastic change while performing a novel task or by motor learning. We hypothesized that the long latency cutaneous reflexes were modulated in skillful badminton players who continue skillful physical training, in particular training of the forearm and hand muscles.

Excerpt: This paper uses mathematical statistics method and analyzes the main scoring techniques: the serve technique, the jump smash technique, the net lob technique, the pushing backcourt ball technique and the smash technique by analyzing the data of the 29th Olympic Games by He Hanbin/Yu Yang (China) and Nova/Nasir (Indonesia). The analysis shows that: in the badminton mixed doubles match, since both sides are partners for many years, in order to win the game you must have good badminton technique; particularly the error rate of the net lob technique and the pushing backcourt ball technique is hig

Excerpt: In this research, time optimal control is considered for the hit motion of a badminton robot during a serve operation. For this task the racket always starts at rest in a given position and has to move to a target state, defined by a target position and a non-zero target velocity. The goal is to complete this motion in as little time as possible, yet without violating bounds on the actuator. To find controllers satisfying these requirements, a reinforcement learning approach is implemented, using a Natural Actor-Critic (NAC) reinforcement learning algorithm. This approach is experimentally sh

Excerpt: The field of motor expertise in athletes has recently been receiving increasing levels of investigation. However, there has been less investigation of how dynamic changes in behavior and in neural activity as a result of sporting participation might result in superiority for athletes in domain-general cognition. We used a flanker task to investigate conflict-related behavioral measures, such as mean reaction time (RT) and RT variability, in conjunction with electroencephalographic (EEG) measures, including N2d, theta activity power, and inter-trial phase coherence (ITPC). These measures were

Excerpt: This study was conducted to determine and compare the muscle activity during step forward lunge (SFL) and jump forward lunge (JFL) in badminton. Fifteen university badminton players (mean age = 22.07 ± 1.39 years old) were recruited and were assigned to perform SFL and JFL while holding a badminton racquet using their preferred hand. Muscle activation of vastus lateralis (VL), vastus medialis (VM), rectus femoris (RF), biceps femoris (BF), gluteus maximus (GM), medial gastrocnemius (MG), and lateral gastrocnemius (LG) were analysed and compared between SFL and JFL and also between dominant a

Excerpt: The aims of this study were to establish the temporal-spatial relationship between muscle activity and the smash stroke of skilled badminton players and to assess performance accuracy using the ellipse of constant distance. We recorded the surface electromyographic (EMG) activity of selected superficial muscles of the stroking arm and shoulder–flexor carpi ulnalis, extensor carpi radialis, triceps brachii (lateral head), biceps brachii and trapezius (upper)–during the badminton smash. In the first part of the study, we examined the characteristics of muscle function and performanc

Excerpt: On the basis of dynamic and kinematic data, this study identifies the type of muscle contraction in unloaded overarm throwing movements. An unloaded throw or nearly unloaded throw is defined as the throw in which the external resistance is too small (e.g., the team handball, baseball, and water polo throws as well as the tennis and badminton smashes). A special arm-force-measuring apparatus was constructed to imitate an overarm throw. Forty-two subjects were placed into 3 groups: untrained subjects, weight-trained athletes, and team handball players. The measured parameters included the veloc
