Excerpt: Background: Adequate sports activity improves health and physical development by increasing muscle strength, alertness, sensory development, muscle coordination, speed, strength, and stamina. Many researches show that sports activity reduces reaction time, which is a reliable indicator of rate of processing of sensory stimuli by central nervous system. So the present study is undertaken to evaluate effect of playing badminton on reaction time. Aims & Objective: To compare visual reaction times of badminton players with those of age-matched controls. Materials and Methods: We estimated the

Excerpt: This paper presents a study in the simulation and understanding of the aerodynamic characteristics of a badminton shuttle, using Computational Fluid Dynamics. Modeled shuttle geometry was based upon a high quality synthetic shuttle, a Yonex Mavis 370. The study investigated the use of Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) simulation in comparison to Scale Resolving Simulation (SRS), for the prediction of the complicated flow fields that are associated with the bluff body aerodynamics of badminton shuttles. RANS are known to struggle with predicting large bluff body separations, in comparison

Excerpt: In sports competition asked for high performance, analysis including a detailed motion is important. This study proposes a method for analyzing a human motion from badminton smash image. The proposed method maps a human motion in the Space-G, which expresses porition-time with the Kl transform, the Space-V, which expresses position-velocity. The method classifies the motion of the target part into three shapes, a circle, a curve and a line (or a point).

Excerpt: In this study, we used biomechanics testing on the typical badminton movement to compare the shoe hardness effect on the body kinetics response. Six excellent badminton players participated in this test. Heels of ground reaction forces and landing time were collected through forcemeasuring system and video analysis system. Our results indicate that the peak ground reaction forces was less when wearing the badminton shoes with less hardness sole, but no statistically significant difference. Meanwhile, the heel landing time was less in the shoes with higher hardness sole. Badminton shoes are not

Excerpt: The aim of the study was to determine some morphological differences between sides of body (dominant versus non-dominant) of elite junior badminton players. The sample consisted of 85 high profile junior badminton players from Europe that have played on European Junior Circuit. They were gauged with 12 morphological measures aiming to gain some basic information regarding the players’ morphological status and to establish relations between dominant and non-dominant side of the body, by comparing circumferences of limbs on both sides.

Excerpt: In the present paper we introduce and examine experimentally some new methods of suppression of resonant flexural vibrations in badminton racquets. Generally, the reduction of vibrations in a badminton racquet can be achieved via modifications of the elastic and damping properties of the racquet head (e.g. stiffer materials), net (e.g. lowering string tension), and shaft and handle (e.g. the so-called “smart grip”)2 . In this paper we focus on the modifications of the shaft only. The paper is divided into sections according to the methods used.

Excerpt: The debate on whether participation in college sports is a “buffer” or “stressor” to student-athletes has not yielded conclusive consensus. The purpose of this study was to assess the sources of stress and coping strategies utilized by Kenyan university athletes. It was predicted that the sources of stress and coping strategies will not differ based on the university athletes’ gender, age, and level of study. Data were collected through the use of modified version of COPE inventory from 210 university athletes (males 60.7% and females 38.9%). Data were analysed t

This study aimed to investigate the emergence of special skill and reevaluation the visual-context hypothesis using badminton players in three skill levels (expert, skilled, less-experienced). Subjects (10 players in each group, mean age=23.12 ±3.85 years) performed 100 backhand short serves at five di

Excerpt: Research findings of this kind have drawn new interest in the neural correlates of superior action prediction abilities in athletes, yearning at the same time to apply these data in the day-to-day physical preparation and training. A recent study, for example, by Tomeo et al. (2013) has tried to investigate the perceptuo-motor processes of the soccer players’ ability to identify deceptive actions by their opponents in the field. Indeed, the authors have presented strong evidence that athletes, as compared to novices, are far better into predicting fooling soccer actions and that the abil

Excerpt: An analysis of general and sports press, and of the official journal of tennis and badminton, reveals an ambivalence in speeches. They attribute new values to this sport but, paradoxically, keep it in a traditional perspective of a child’s world, associated with playing shuttlecock, which leads to a “failed sportivization.” This difference is amplified by the affinity between badminton and the powerful and recognized sport of lawn-tennis, which eclipses it. These findings explain the minority position of badminton in a context where socially valued sports are associated with attributes d

Excerpt: There is a scarcity of descriptive data on the performance capacity of elite badminton players, whose fitness requirements are quite specific. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the physiological response of elite badminton players in a sport-specific fitness test. Twelve Hong Kong national badminton team players performed a field test on a badminton court. Six light bulbs were connected to a programming device causing individual bulbs to light up in a given sequence. The players were instructed to react to the flashes by running towards them, and striking shuttles mounted in the vici
