Objectives
The purpose of this study is to research the impacts of 12-week shadow
badminton trainings on some physical performance parameters of 8-10 age group
of children. In addition to this, the aim is to contribute to the determination
of the application frequency and duration of badminton trainings in the
beginners of badminton sport by comparing training practices of shadow badminton
and classical badminton.
Methods
Subjects of the research group have been divided into 3 groups as shadow
badminton training group (SB, n= 35, 17 boys and 18 girls), classical badminton
training group (CB, n= 34, 19 boys and 15 girls) and control group (CG, n= 32,
15 boys and 17 girls), who has not been involved in any physical activity
during the study and it has been carried out on 101 subjects. SB and CB groups
were trained 4 days a week for 16 weeks and as preparation and basic trainings
period. After 4 weeks of preparation works, preliminary tests of all groups
(SB-CB-CG) were carried out. After the preliminary tests, subjects of CB
training group were applied classical badminton training program 4 days a week
for 12 weeks, subjects of SB training group were applied 2 days classical
badminton training and 2 days shadow badminton trainings in a week as during 12
weeks and 4-day training in a week. After 8 weeks, mid-term tests and after 12
weeks final tests were applied during basic training period.
Results
It was determined an improvement in physical performance parameters of
subjects of both training group (SB-CB). In addition, statistically significant
differences were found in the parameters of the subjects of SB group in terms
of balance, 20 m
speed, vertical jump, anaerobic power and maximum oxygen consumption capacity
(p<0.05).
Conclusions
It has been concluded that shadow badminton trainings have positive
effects on physical performance parameters of 8-10 age group of individuals and
frequency
and duration of the application may be considered sufficient.
