Abstract
Introduction. Various factors can support players’ achievements in badminton, such as the quality of strength, endurance, flexibility, speed, agility, and good movement coordination. To achieve these various abilities, different forms of exercise can be undertaken, one of which is shadow training. Shadow training is an important exercise in badminton but is often overlooked by players. This exercise impacts endurance on the field, speed, and anticipation skills. Movements in this exercise can be performed at the player’s own initiative, with coach instructions, or with aids such as pre-programmed light cues. This article is a literature review presented from various research results published in national and international journals.
Objective. The purpose of this study is to determine the various benefits of badminton shadow training. To obtain relevant literature, the author prepared specific keywords, namely “badminton shadow training.”
Methods. The analysis method used in this study is the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) approach, applying four steps: identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion.
Results. The results of this literature study state that there are many benefits of shadow training that positively impact the abilities and achievements of badminton athletes, including: shadow training improves physical performance, shadow training improves agility and reaction time, and increases power and speed.
Conclusion. This study provides an important contribution for coaches, researchers, and stakeholders in the field of badminton to enhance the potential and achievements of athletes at regional to international levels.

Palraj Balaji et al. – Strength training protocols tailored for badminton players: a pilot study –  Fizjoterapia Polska 2025; 25(1); 383-388

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG007D4HBJ

Abstract
Aim of the study. The primary aim of this study was to explore the impact of three distinct strength training methods—plyometric training, resistance band exercises, and compound weightlifting—on performance indicators such as vertical jump height, agility, and shoulder flexibility in badminton players.
Material and methods. Thirty male amateur badminton players (aged 18–25 years) with a minimum of two years of playing experience participated in the study. The participants were randomly assigned to one of three training groups, each performing their respective training regimen three times a week for six weeks. The three groups were: plyometric training, resistance band training, and compound weightlifting. Performance was assessed before and after the intervention using vertical jump tests, a shuttle run for agility, and a shoulder flexibility test.
Results. Statistical analyses (ANOVA) revealed significant improvements in all performance measures. Plyometric training significantly boosted agility (p = 0.001), while resistance band exercises improved shoulder flexibility (p = 0.003). Compound weightlifting led to significant gains in vertical jump height (p = 0.005). No significant differences were found in vertical jump height improvements across groups (p = 0.08), although agility and shoulder flexibility showed distinct benefits based on the type of training (p < 0.05).
Conclusions. The study indicates that different strength training approaches yield specific improvements in performance for badminton players. Plyometric exercises are most effective for enhancing agility, resistance band training is beneficial for shoulder flexibility, and compound weightlifting excels in boosting vertical jump height.

Wang Ping, Xiaojie Niu, Zainal Abidin bin Zainuddin – Identification of male’s badminton talents: A systematic review –  Fizjoterapia Polska 2024; 24(4); 304-315

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG01A8V2W7

Abstract
The exploration of athlete selection has posed a significant challenge for sports scientists over numerous years, representing a pivotal factor in the success of training endeavors. With the rising prominence of Badminton, the practicalities of talent identification have gained paramount importance. Presently, the identification of exceptional badminton talents relies heavily on coaches’ subjective evaluation models, each coach employing distinct criteria. The difficulty in pinpointing badminton players stems from two primary factors. Firstly, team coaches often lack the proficiency in applying scientific methods to address talent identification issues. Secondly, the scarcity of international publications on badminton player identification, often limited to domestic studies, hinders a comprehensive understanding. Only a handful of authoritative works delve into the intricacies of genius identification. Hence, grounded in a profound comprehension of badminton’s essential characteristics and the competitive structure of players, there is a need to establish a scientific badminton player talent identification index system. This involves exploring scientific identification methods with practical significance. This article reviews literature on male badminton talent identification from the past decade, concluding that it is a scientific, systematic undertaking necessitating a multidimensional and dynamic understanding of the laws governing success in badminton sports and athletes’ growth and development.

Abstract:
Introduction. Badminton is a sport that is popular with all levels of society, because it is easy to play and does not require a large field, and can even be played indoors or outdoors. Therefore, the game of badminton in Indonesia can develop rapidly. One of the tests in badminton definitely uses the wall volleyball test to determine the skill level of training children or students. As is known, the wall volleyball test is a very good test to see how far a person’s hitting ability in badminton is. The form of solving existing problems is by conducting research and developing wall volleyball tests so that teachers and coaches, especially athletes, no longer have doubts about their badminton skills.
Objective. To develop one of the skills test tools in badminton, namely wall volleyball.
Method. This research uses the research and development method which is used to produce certain product designs, test the effectiveness and validity of the designs that have been created so that the product is tested and can be used by the public.
Results. Questionnaire results from small-scale tests on the development of digital-based wall volleyball tests in PB. Persada Kulon Progo Yogyakarta, showed an assessment percentage of 95.38% and was categorized as “Decent”. With such results, it is very feasible to continue this development to large-scale testing to see how feasible the results are with more people trying it and from different places. Large-scale trials were carried out at the PB club. PWS Godean Sleman and PB. Arjuna Bantul with a total of 35 athletes who met the criteria. Questionnaire results from a large-scale test of the development of a digital-based wall volleyball test in PB. PWS Godean Sleman and PB. Arjuna Bantul showed an assessment percentage of 99.56% and was categorized as “Decent”. With such results, this development is very feasible to continue to the next stage, namely effectiveness. Testing the validity of this digital-based wall volleyball test instrument includes testing material with a score of 11 out of 13 maximum scores and getting a percentage of 84.61% (Decent). Practitioner testing with a score of 11 out of 13 maximum scores and obtained a percentage of 84.61% (Layal). Meanwhile, testing the validity of test equipment experts with a score of 30 out of 32 maximum scores received a percentage of 93.75% (Decent). Based on the results of the data percentage above, what has been developed by the researchers received the title “feasible” and was declared valid. The first trial test between digital and manual tests was not significant because the results obtained were the same. Meanwhile, for the 2 digital and manual experimental tests, t = 4.779 and sig = 0.000 Sig < α (0.000 < 0.05), thus meaning that the 2 digital experimental tests are significantly different from the 2 manual tests.
Conclusion. The development of a digital-based wall volleyball test was stated to be significant in achieving better results than the manual one.
