A186: Evaluating Badminton-Specific Court Testing: A Systematic Review, Leyi Jiang, Zhenxiang Guo, Shiwu Li, Linzhi He, Dapeng Bao
International Journal of Physical Activity and Health
Badminton, a technically and tactically demanding sport, requires rapid reaction, eye-hand coordination, and agility, alongside both aerobic and anaerobic energy system capabilities. However, current mainstream fitness assessments primarily rely on non-specific and semi-specific tests, which, while reliable, lack ecological validity in capturing the multidimensional demands of badminton. Field-based tests, designed to simulate the sport-specific movements and energy demands, are critical for accurately evaluating badminton athletes' performance. This systematic review aims to evaluate the reliability, validity, and applicability of existing field-based tests for badminton athletes, providing evidence-based insights for the development of more contextually relevant assessment methods. Method: Using keywords such …

The rapid development of the China Open has heightened demands for optimizing ball kids' skills, which serve as critical operational support for tournament execution. However, China's ball kid system, with its relatively recent establishment and limited experiential accumulation, exhibits notable gaps compared to the century-old protocols of Grand Slam tournaments (Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, US Open). This study systematically compares skill characteristics between the China Open and Grand Slam ball kids to propose localized, efficiency-driven technical improvements. Method: Utilizing mixed methodologies—literature review, video analysis of 12 Grand Slam matches, comparative evaluation, and field interviews—the research evaluated five operational skills: …
