Title: The effectiveness of compensation practices after training at badminton player Author: Adéla Krčková Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of compensation exercise after training on shortened muscles or muscle groups, the presence of trigger points in muscles and the presence of pain in musculoskeletal system at badminton players. Methods: This is a randomized pilot study based on a mixed type of research (quantitative, qualitative parameters), the methodological principle is a two-factor and multi level. Research was attended by 14 players aged 13-17 years , boys and girls. The whole group of players was examined by a physiotherapist , which included examination of shortened muscles by Janda, palpation assessment of the presence of trigger points in the muscles. The muscles which were assessed for the presence of trigger points were the same as the muscles , which in vestigates shortening and eventually every player will be asked for pain musculoskeletal system and evaluate numerical pain rating scale . Then , this group was divided by reported pain present in two groups: intervention and control group, so that in each group as far as possible the same number of players with pain. The intervention group subsequently completed a two-month compensation program, which was...

Public financing of those two sports in Czech Republic is done through Czech squash association and Czech badminton association. Both those organizations are full members of Czech association of sports and also require money from Ministry of education. Those two organizations stand as main sources of finances from the public sources. I will focus on comparison of these two sports. Squash and badminton are very similar considering material, or financial side. Also the expansion of those sports in our country is more or less the same. From this point of wiew, they should also receive similar financial aid for the government. By detailed financial analyses I will try to confront both sports, differ their specifics and find out if the personal question is also playing a role. Probably the only difference between those two sports is the fact, that badminton is olympic sport, which gives it a chance to participate in programs, which are offered especially for sports that take part of the olympics. How much has this fact differ their evolution? I will find out, if badminton took advantage of this to benefit. Ministry of education and Czech sports association assign finance on behalf of certain conditions. The question is, how much these conditions influence the behavior of these associations. Must they adjust to them, or they work with them in complete synthesis and reach their goals. Only from the settings of the individual programs run by Ministry of education and Czech sports association is obvious, that it is almost impossible to satisfy both subjects.

TITLE: The physical condition of badminton players AUTHOR: Kateřina Hejdrychová DEPARTMENT: Katedra tělesné výchovy PedF UK SUPERVISOR: PaedDr. Ladislav Pokorný ABSTRACT: This diploma thesis deals with the composition of fitness training of badminton players. The first part of the thesis theoretically describes the development of individual motor skills and their application and inclusion in the training process of badminton. In the second part, an evaluation of the psychical condition of adolescent and junior national team players and badminton players is performed. The psychical condition was examined using a test battery in cooperation with the Czech Badminton Association. The results of the thesis are annotated results of individual groups of players. KEYWORDS: Badminton, psychical condition, gross motor skills, testing

Tout comme l’entraînement, la recherche en science du sport est un facteur déterminant de la performance sportive. À travers l’étude d’une activité physique intermittente, le badminton, le prisme des concepts biomécaniques, physiologiques et physiques convergent vers une approche pluridisciplinaire des déterminants de la performance sportive. Ainsi, l’objectif de l’ensemble de ce travail doctoral est, à la fois, la prédiction de la performance en badminton et la compréhension des mécanismes de production d’une vitesse de volant proche des 500 km/h. Les réponses physiologiques et neuromusculaires ont permis la mise en place d’un test discriminant spécifique, prédictif du niveau d’expertise, et proche des situations écologiques d’un match. Paradoxalement, les causes des mécanismes neurophysiologiques liés à la fatigue induite lors d’un match prolongé restent toutefois inconnues. Il apparaît primordial d’approfondir les dits mécanismes vraisemblablement à l’origine de la diminution de la performance sportive. Les évolutions des observables de match, de la force maximale et de la puissance des membres supérieurs et inférieurs convergent vers une diminution progressive au cours de la pratique. Corollairement, la compréhension des mécanismes d’optimisation de la vitesse du volant a permis de mettre en exergue des principes biomécaniques et physiques déterminant lors de la prédiction d’une grande vitesse de volant lors d’une performance maximale. En effet, les principes d’adjonction des segments et d’étirement-renvoi influencent largement la vitesse de la main. En complément, le principe de bras de levier et l’effet élastique de la raquette permettent également d’accroître la vitesse de la raquette. Enfin, la conservation de la quantité de mouvement et le coefficient de restitution contribuent finalement à la vitesse du volant. / Just like training, sport science research is a key factor in sports performance. Through the study of intermittent physical activity, in this case badminton, biomechanical, physiological and physical concepts emerge and offer a multidisciplinary approach of the determinants of sport performance. Thus, the goal of this doctoral work is both the study of badminton in the performance prediction and the understanding of the mechanisms in the production of wheel velocity close to 500 km/h. The physiological and neuromuscular responses enabled the establishment of a specific discriminatory test, predicting the level of expertise, and close to the ecological conditions of a match. Paradoxically, the causes of neurophysiological mechanisms associated with the fatigue induced by a prolonged game remain unknown. It appears heuristic to further study those mechanisms which are at the origin of a decrease in athletic performance. The evolution of observable match variables, the maximum strength and the power of the upper and lower limbs converge towards a gradual decrease in the practice. As a corollary, the understanding of the optimisation of the speed of the flywheel mechanisms helped to highlight the biomechanical and physical principles, essential in predicting a large wheel speed during a maximum performance. Indeed, the principles of adding segments and stretching shortening cycle largely influence the speed of the hand. In addition, the principle of the lever arm and the elastic effect of the racket also increase the speed of the racket. Finally, the conservation of the momentum and the restitution coefficient ultimately contribute to the speed of the shuttlecock.

Badminton is hard to practice alone and contemporary practice machines are either expensive or too simple to be useful. This bachelor thesis revolves around the mechanical, electrical, and software design of a badminton practice machine with an automated feeding mechanism and a firing mechanism capable of shooting to different locations on the badminton court. The resulting product was an aesthetically pleasing robust machine with a 91% reliability and an accuracy of less than one meter. / Badminton är svårt att träna ensam och träningsmaskiner på marknaden idag är antingen dyra eller för simpla för att vara praktiskt användbara. Detta kandidatexamensarbete kretsar kring mekanisk-, elektrisk- och programvarudesign av en badminton träningsrobot med en automatisk matningsmekanism och en skjutmekanism kapabel att skjuta till olika platser på badmintonplanen. Den resulterande produkten var en estetiskt tilltalande robust maskin med 91% tillförlitlighet och en precision på under en meter.
