Title: Effect of Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Training on Endurance and Agility Among Elite Badminton Players: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Badminton is a physically demanding sport requiring high levels of endurance and agility. Elite players often sustain overuse injuries and experience fatigue due to the sport’s multidirectional high-intensity movements. Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training has shown potential for enhancing athletic performance by improving aerobic and anaerobic capacities with lower training loads. However, its application in badminton-specific training remains underexplored.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of BFR training in improving endurance, agility, and fatigue resistance among elite badminton players, with a focus on muscle recovery through creatine phosphokinase (CPK) level analysis.
Methods: A randomized controlled trial will involve 60 elite badminton players divided into experimental (BFR training) and control (traditional training) groups. Both groups will perform shuttle runs three times a week for four weeks. The BFR group will use occlusive cuffs during training. Pre- and post-intervention assessments will include the Illinois Agility Test for agility, CPK levels for muscle recovery, and the Running Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) for fatigue index evaluation.
Expected Outcomes: It is hypothesized that BFR training will significantly improve agility, reduce fatigue index, and optimize muscle recovery compared to traditional training methods. These findings could provide evidence-based insights for integrating BFR into badminton-specific training regimens.
Significance: This study aims to advance sports rehabilitation by offering a novel, low-load training intervention tailored to badminton’s physical demands. The findings will benefit athletes, coaches, and physiotherapists by improving performance, reducing injury risk, and enhancing recovery.
