Biomechanical Analysis Of The Badminton Smash

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to biomechanically analysis of the smash in badminton. In this study, we were interested in analyzing the correlation between the angle of  right elbow joint and the center of mass at the point of contact with the shuttle. Ten male badminton players with the age group of under 15 who have participated in the National Level Competition were selected as the study of subjects. The data were collected with the help of GoPro Hero 8 motion of smash. Pearson Correlation was used as a statistical tool, and the level of significance was set at 0.05 levels. The result of the study shows that the angle of right elbow joint was significantly correlated with the center of mass while executing the smash in badminton.
