Study Notes

Sport Specific Handbook for Badminton

Handout created by Otis Wong, PSK4U Kinesiology, Ms Z. Smith, January 23rd.
Focuses on badminton techniques
Covers serving, smashing, and internal/external factors

Chapter 1: Serving

Discusses the biomechanics of serving in badminton
Includes phases of movement, maximizing force, and stability

Phases of Movement (Serving)

Diagrammatic representations of player's arm and leg positions during serving.
Shows key actions like arm position, body twist, and leg movement in sequential steps.
Descriptions of movements include; "arm in," "small top," "body straight," "legs straight," "twist," and "both arms out."
Visual aids include diagrams and arrows outlining body placement and movement

Apply Biomechanical Principles (Serving)

Preparation: Describes stability through wide stance (larger base) and maximization of force through full joint twisting (spine, arm, and wrists).
Linear Motion: Shuttlecock's motion toward the opposite side of the net. Gravity causes the parabola shape.
Angular Motion: Explains racket movement in a semi-circular pattern.
Diagrams illustrate projectile type motion of the shuttlecock and circular racket movement

Execution (Serving)

Stability: Maintains two points of contact (feet on ground) to prevent imbalance even while rotating, maximizing balance
Maximizing Force: Large to small joint action, starting at the spine, right arm, and leg, and ending at the right hand.
Linear Motion: Describes straight-line travel of the shuttlecock in the "x-axis," while gravity affects its downward movement in the "y-axis"
Angular Motion: Discusses body and arm movements, and how angular momentum remains consistent

Follow-Through (Serving)

Stability: Lifting left arm after serving, creating balanced stance with two points of contact.
Maximization of Force: Right arm swinging forward, extending contact time with shuttlecock to maximize force.
Angular Motion: Describes continued semicircular arm swing to complete the serve.
Linear Motion: Continuing the shuttlecock's straight-line travel (in x-axis).

Chapter 2: Smashing

The handout details the biomechanics of smashing in badminton
Includes phases of movement, maximizing force, and stability

Phases of Movement (Smashing)

Diagrammatic representations of players' arm and leg positions during the smash.
Describes key actions like arm position, body twist, and leg movement in sequential steps (arm out, pointing up, slanted body, bent knee, large bottom, finished twisting, etc.)
Visual aids include diagrams, arrows, and labels detailing actions
Visualizes player positions, leg positions, and arm positions during the smash movements

Apply Biomechanical Principles (Smashing)

Preparation: Full body twist maximizes force. The person spread apart his legs with foot facing outwards, causing a large base for their position with lesser change in falling over. Their left arm is pointing outwards.
Linear Motion: Trajectory of the shuttlecock, a tilted line heading towards the other half of the court following gravity causing parabola
Angular Motion: How the person angles their body and arm to fully swing the racket, and reaches a full rotation
Diagrams illustrate projectile type motion of the shuttlecock and circular racket movement

Execution (Smashing)

Maximizing Force: Large (spine, arms, leg, right shoulder, right calf), then small (right wrist) joint movement. The person twists his joints and body parts to first twist the spine, then the right shoulder, and calf anti-clockwise.
Linear Motion: Linear trajectory of the shuttlecock after being struck, with gravity affecting the vertical direction.
Angular Motion: Full body twisting and arm motions that complete a semi-circular movement to maximize power during the smash.

Follow-Through (Smashing)

Stability: Description of the person lifting their right leg to balance with their right arm simultaneously after the action.
Maximization of Force: The swing of the right arm when hitting the shuttlecock, that increases the time that the racket is in contact with the shuttlecock.
Linear Motion: Shuttlecock travels in a straight line in a particular angle to the horizon, followed by gravitational pull
Angular Motion: Person keeps turning his spine, and since his arm is attached to it, his arm follows a semi-circle pattern when striking the shuttlecock.

Chapter 3: Internal & External Factors

Discusses internal (physical) and external factors influencing badminton performance

Two Individual Benefits of Participating in Badminton

– Physical Health: Badminton burns approximately 500 calories per hour, and the HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) nature continues calorie burn after the workout.

– Cognitive Function: The fast-paced nature of badminton improves reaction time, because player must react correctly at the right time to hit the ball back. This leads to solving complex problems easier.

– Increased Interpersonal Skills: Badminton involves paired competition and encourages mingling with a variety of people. – Enhanced Teamwork and Communication: teamwork requires cooperation and communication to work effectively.

One Barrier That Might Limit Someone's Ability to Participate

– Time Constraint: Accessibility to badminton courts. - Solutions include better scheduling. - Community solution: having a nearby court
