Gender specific muscle imbalance patterns in elite junior university badminton players - a comprehensive study

The need for studying muscle imbalance patterns in high-grade junior university badminton players is based on the significant physical demands of the sport, particularly on the shoulder muscles. Badminton, an overhead sport, often leads to strength imbalances between the dominant and non-dominant sides of the body. These imbalances can increase the risk of injuries such as subacromial impingement, rotator cuff tears, or other musculoskeletal issues.
