Title: | Balance control, agility, eye-hand coordination, and sport performance of amateur badminton players a cross-sectional study | Authors: | Wong, TKK Ma, AWW Liu, KPY Chung, LMY Bae, YH Fong, SSM Ganesan, B Wang, HK |
Issue Date: | 2019 | Source: | Medicine, Jan. 2019, v. 98, no. 2, e14134, p. 1-6 | Abstract: | In this study, balance performance, agility, eye-hand coordination, and sports performance were compared between amateur badminton players and active controls. Thirty young adult badminton players and 33 active controls participated in the study. Static single-leg standing balance (with eyes closed) was measured using a force platform, and dynamic balance was measured using the Y Balance Test (lower quarter). Agility was measured using a hexagon agility test, and eye-hand coordination was measured using a computerized finger-pointing task. Sports performance was quantified by the number of times a shuttlecock fell in a designated area following a badminton serve. The badminton players had superior accuracy in badminton serving (P<.001) relative to the active controls. However, no significant between-group differences were noted in all other outcome variables (P>.05). Amateur badminton players had more favorable sports performance, but not balance performance, agility, or eye-hand coordination, than controls. | Keywords: | Performance Physical fitness Postural control Racket sports Visual motor |
