JOINTS ACTIVITY AND ITS ROLE IN THE UPPER EXTREMITY IN BADMINTON STROKES: A BIOMECHANICAL PERSPECTIVE OF SPORTS EDUCATION

Abstract

Purpose of the Study: This study aims to describe the muscle activity and its role in the upper extremity in Badminton Strokes and also investigates the Kinematics differences of Badminton forehand overhead shot, i.e., precise, smash and drop in wrist joint, elbow joint, and shoulder Joint from a biomechanics perspective. Methodology: Total [n=10] numbers of male badminton players were randomly selected from the badminton match practice group of L.N.I.P.E. Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India. The match practice group consisted of (n=78) players who at least participated in Inter-University badminton competition, and their age ranges from 17-25 years of old. Go Pro HERO 7, 2D camera was used. A video camera was mounted on a tripod at a height of 1.05 meters from the ground. 2D data of wrist joint, elbow joint, and shoulder joint were put in Kinovea 0.8.27 software. One way ANOVA was used. Principal Findings: The results of the finding demonstrate that Brain vibrations, paradoxically, are critical to the stability of movement and high performance. There are significant muscle activity and kinematics differences among forehand clear, forehand smash and forehand drop-in shoulder joint angle, elbow joint angle, and wrist joint angle. Applications of this Study: The Study may use by the badminton Players as well as coaches for the successful execution of badminton Skill. This study will provide the mechanical area of movement of badminton Players. The same kind of study may use in other games. Novelty/Originality of this Study: The Study explores the mechanical advantages of badminton forehand overhead Skill. It will give the reader new ideas to think of a similar kind of study in different games.
