The effect of exercises using assistive tools in developing deception and accuracy in the performance of certain fundamental skills in badminton.

Abstract

This study investigated the impact of using assistive training exercises to enhance player performance in badminton, focusing on skills like deception and execution accuracy. Badminton is a sport that demands high-level skills, precision, and speed, making innovative training techniques a key factor in player improvement.

The research concentrated on two core skills: deception, which is essential for confusing opponents, and performance accuracy, requiring precise shuttle placement on the court. The six-week training program, consisting of three weekly sessions, incorporated exercises using tools like cones, elastic bands, and sudden stroke drills.

A sample of 10 junior national team players was selected, and the training sessions aimed to measure the effectiveness of assistive tools on performance. The findings revealed significant improvements in the accuracy of front and backhand strokes, as well as enhanced visual and motor deception techniques.

Statistical analysis showed a strong correlation between the use of assistive methods and skill performance enhancement, with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.82 to 0.87. This underscores the effectiveness of these training techniques in improving players' technical abilities.

The study concluded that integrating assistive training tools leads to comprehensive improvements in players' technical and tactical performance. It recommended incorporating these methods into future training programs to elevate player capabilities.
