Associations among Agility, Sprint, Aerobic, and Vertical Jump Performances of Young Badminton Players
Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the associations among agility, sprint, aerobic, and vertical jumps performances of young badminton players. Nine young, male, badminton players with 17.1 ± 4.3 years performed a battery of physical tests on three separate days. The following performance tests were: badminton specific agility test, 5m-Multiple Shuttle Test (5m-MST), the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test level I (Yo-Yo test) and vertical jumps. It was found a significant and very large correlation (r=0.83) between the Yo-Yo test and 5m-MST distance. The agility test was significantly correlated with 5m-MST and Yo-Yo test with the values classified as large (r=-0.67 and -0.65, respectively). In addition, large to very large associations were reported between agility, sprint and aerobic performances with VJs tests (r=0.54 to 0.83). Therefore, we conclude that the agility, sprint, aerobic, and VJ performances are associated, with correlations classified as very large or large. The current results highlight the need for a comprehensive battery of field tests to evaluate the performance of young badminton players to provide a more effective field-based assessment.
