简要总结
This study aims to develop and evaluate a new warm-up program specifically designed for recreational badminton players. The program focuses on exercises that enhance balance and reduce the risk of ankle injury. Participants will be asked to follow this warm-up routine, and their performance will be assessed before and after to see if the exercises improve their balance and overall movement. The goal is to create a practical, effective warm-up routine that can be easily incorporated into badminton practice.
详细描述
This study investigates the effectiveness of a novel neuromuscular warm-up program tailored for recreational badminton players. The program is designed to improve balance, enhance movement efficiency and reduce the risk of injuries commonly associated with badminton.
Participants will be recruited from recreational badminton clubs and will undergo baseline assessments of balance performance and lunge movement using motion capture (Mocap), EMG. and inertia measurement unit (IMU). The warm-up program includes a series of targeted exercises selected based on expert consensus from a previous Delphi study. These exercises focus on key areas such as dynamic stability, and proprioception.
Participants perform pre and post test with Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) and forward lunge movement with (IMU, MOcap and MEG) attached on the lower limb. The intervention will be: 1) novel neuromuscular warmup and 2) traditional warmup. Participants will perform both the warmup but on different days with one day rest in between the interventions.
The study's findings aim to inform best practices for warm-up routines in badminton, potentially offering a standardized program that can be widely adopted by recreational players to enhance their performance and safety on the court.

结局指标
主要结局
Balance Performance
时间窗: pre-test conducted immediately before the intervention and a post-test conducted immediately after the intervention
Balance will be measured using standardised tests such as the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT), which evaluates the participant's reach distances in multiple directions
Ankle Movement
时间窗: pre-test conducted immediately before the intervention and a post-test conducted immediately after the intervention.
This measure will assess the angle of (dorsi-flexion and plantar-flexion) and (inversion and eversion) at the ankle joint during the lunge movement. The aim is to evaluate changes in ankle joint alignment and range of motion as a result of the neuromuscular warm-up program. Ankle angles will be measured using motion capture technology and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to provide accurate and objective data.
次要结局
- Neuromuscular Activity(pre-test conducted immediately before the intervention and a post-test conducted immediately after the intervention)
