Abstract
Age may limit the effect of contextual interference, but the accurate effect of age on contextual interference is not completely identified. Therefore, the purpose of the study was the effect of contextual interference practice orders on acquisition and learning of badminton skills of 45 female students aged from 10 to 12. Participants were randomly assigned to one of the three groups of blocked, random, and systematically increasing contextual interference. They trained three skills of badminton long serves, short serves, and forehand strokes for 10 sessions after pre-test. The tests consist of Acquisition, immediate retention, and delayed retention were taken after the fifth session, one hour after the end of the tenth session, and 48 hours after the last practice session, respectively. According to the findings of the study, in acquisition test, the blocked group achieved better scores than the random and systematically increasing groups. Although the three groups performed significantly better than pre-test scores in retention test, there was no difference among groups, meaning that contextual interference did not have positive results for children in learning badminton skills. Seemingly, due to the limitations in strategy, our participants were probably confused among the abundant information from the random practices and were not able to use the advantages of contextual interference. So, the benefits of random practice based on forgetting and elaborating hypotheses in this age group, especially regarding discrete motor skill in badminton is in doubt. The authors carefully suggest that elementary school physical education teachers should use blocked practice methods for badminton practice to help children build a suitable motor skills scheme and encourage them to repeat the desired skills because of the motivational feedback of blocked practice as a result of greater success in practice sessions.

Abstract
Background. Consider the fact that the implementation of aerobic exercise can be effective in the learning and acquisition process, and that training athletes to acquire new skills is appropriately done in terms of the primacy and recency of the training time for aerobic activities such as the warm-up.
Objectives. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of moderate-intensity aerobic activity before training on the acquisition, consolidation memory, and coordination pattern of the elbow joint with regard to the short service in badminton.
Methods. Thirty-eight participants aged 17 to 19 years were selected by convenience sampling and purposive sampling. The participants were randomly assigned to two experimental groups (n =14 and n = 10) and a control group (n = 14) based on aerobic capacity. Before and after the badminton short service training, the participants ran for 20 minutes on a treadmill at a speed of about 70% of their maximum heart rate. At various stages of training, the precision of the shuttlecock landing spots was measured based on the French test at the time of acquisition, immediate retention, retention, and transfer in all three groups. Also, using motion analysis, the range of motion of the wrist, elbow, and shoulder joints was measured. Moreover, by using a PCA, the coordination pattern of the range of motion of the elbow joint was compared in all three groups.
Results. There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of the accuracy of the short service in badminton in the French test based on aerobic exercise before and after training (p<0.05).A significant difference was observed between all parts of the test and the transfer test (p>0.05). Also, there was no significant difference in the coordination pattern of the range of the elbow joints between the groups. Furthermore, the repeat of service has no significant effect on the motion pattern in any way.
Conclusion. According to the impact of moderate-intensity aerobic activity before and after training on the acquisition, consolidation of memory, and coordination pattern of the elbow joint, there was no significant difference in the accuracy of the short service in badminton.

Abstract
Background. The badminton forehand overhead jump smash is one of the high speed and powerful motions among various racket sports.
Objectives. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of fatigue on the kinematic variable movement changes during overhead jump smash in badminton.
Methods. This study is descriptive quantitative research with the pre-test and post-test design methods used to obtain data from 15 male badminton players, aged 19.4 ± 1.6 years, height 1.73 ± 0.12 m, and weight 60.8 ± 3.7 kg. The study used three high-resolution handy-cams, motion software Frame DIAZ IV, and 14 point manual markers to analyze body segments’ movement when carrying out a jump smash. Furthermore, an ergo treadmill was used to test the players’ level by running.
Results. The results showed that the shuttlecock velocity was faster during pre-fatigue (188 km/h) than under the condition (145 km/h). A significant difference showed in the angle of shoulder internal rotation (p=0.048) and wrist palmar flexion (p=0.037) at the instant of maximal shoulder external rotation phase. Furthermore, there were significant differences in the shoulder’s internal angular velocity (p=0.042), elbow extension (p=0.035), forearm supination (p=0.024), and wrist Dorsi dorsiflexion.040).
Conclusion. In conclusion, fatigue reduces players’ performances during jumping smash in badminton, thereby leading to slower shuttlecock speed and changes in body segment movements.

Abstract
Background. This study aims to analyze the movement of backhand and forehand smash stroke techniques in badminton in three dimensions using a kinematics approach.
Objectives. The obtained results were analyzed using a descriptive and quantitative approach.
Methods. Furthermore, 24 male badminton players from the university student activity unit with an average age of 19.4 ± 1.6 years, height of 1.73 ± 0.12 m, and weight of 62.8 ± 3.7 kg participated in this study. The study was conducted using 3 Panasonic Handycams, a calibration set, 3D Frame DIAZ IV motion analysis software, and a speed radar gun.
Results. The data normalization from the kinematics values of the shoulder, elbow, and wrist joint motion was calculated using the inverse dynamics method. In addition, a one-way ANOVA test was used to identify differences in the kinematics of motion between two different groups. The obtained results showed that the speed of the shuttlecock during the forehand smash was greater than that during the backhand smash. In the maximal shoulder external rotation phase, two variables were identified to have the best results during the forehand smash, i.e., the velocity of shoulder external rotation and wrist palmar flexion.
Conclusion. The velocity of shoulder internal rotation, elbow extension, and forearm supination in the maximum angular velocity phase was higher when making a forehand smash.

Abstract
Background. Aging increases the risk of heart disease and metabolic disorders, making regular physical activity essential for maintaining good health. Recreational badminton is widely played, yet its effects on lipid profiles in older adults remain unclear. While previous research highlights the cardiovascular benefits of exercise, the role of intermittent sports, such as badminton, in lipid metabolism remains underexplored.
Objectives. This study investigated whether the duration of weekly badminton play influences key lipid markers in older adults.
Methods. This cross-sectional study involved 54 participants aged 55 years or older, stratified into high-playtime (HPT; 9.72 ± 2.16 hours/week), low-playtime (LPT; 3.34 ± 1.53 hours/week), and non-player (CON; n = 18 each) groups. Participants fasted for 8–12 hours before blood sampling and anthropometric assessments. Triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (T-Cho), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) were analyzed. Badminton duration was assessed using weekly logs and a modified PASE questionnaire.
Results. No significant differences were observed in TG (HPT: 59.2 ± 13.8; LPT: 63.0 ± 16.1 mg/dL), T-Cho (HPT: 203 ± 7.8; LPT: 201 ± 14 mg/dL), HDL (HPT: 67.8 ± 4.94; LPT: 64.0 ± 7.79 mg/dL), or LDL (HPT: 120 ± 3.49; LPT: 122 ± 7.17 mg/dL); p>0.05. Effect sizes (η² = 0.02–0.05) indicated minimal group differences.
Conclusion. Given the study's cross-sectional design, causality cannot be inferred. Future longitudinal studies should control for diet and genetics and explore combined training strategies

Abstract
Background. Competitive anxiety and self-confidence have a significant influence on the performance of badminton athletes. PETTLEP imagery training is a structured mental training technique designed to create a realistic and immersive visualization experience.
Objectives. This study aims to identify the effect of PETTLEP imagery training on competitive anxiety and self-confidence in badminton athletes.
Methods. Participants in this study were ninety-five badminton athletes randomly divided into three groups: PETTLEP Imagery, Traditional Imagery, and Control. Each group underwent 16 training sessions for 6 weeks (three times a week). Assessments were conducted using the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2) and the Sport Imagery Ability Questionnaire (SIAQ). Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test.
Results. The PETTLEP Imagination group showed the most significant reduction in competitive anxiety (mean reduction in cognitive anxiety from 29.09 to 25.27); somatic anxiety from 29.55 to 24.85; statistical difference test = 62.524, p=0.00) and the highest increase in self-confidence with statistical difference test = 54.427, p=0.00) compared to the Traditional Imagination and Control groups.
Conclusion. PETTLEP imagery training is more effective than traditional imagery in reducing competitive anxiety and increasing self-confidence in badminton athletes. This training offers a superior psychological preparation strategy for badminton athletes, with potential applications in both training and competition.

Abstract
Background. The ACTN3 R allele is associated with normal ACTN3 expression in fast-twitch muscle.
Objectives. This study investigates whether the ACTN3 R allele, which is associated with normal ACTN3 expression in fast-twitch muscle fibers, is linked to performance and injury susceptibility in well-trained male badminton players.
Methods. A total of 101 well-trained male badminton players (mean age: 20.72 ± 6.72 years) were genotyped for this polymorphism using DNA extracted from buccal cells. Training history, injury incidence, and severity over the past year were recorded. Strength and power were assessed via handgrip, back strength, vertical leap, standing long jump, and a 40-meter sprint.
Results. Positive correlations were observed between the RR genotype and both back strength (r = 0.283, p = 0.004) and handgrip strength (r = 0.320, p = 0.001). Multinomial logistic regression indicated that the RR genotype was associated with a higher likelihood of minor injuries (OR = 0.351) and superior back and handgrip strength (OR = 1.036, 1.202). ANOVA results further confirmed that RR and RX genotypes exhibited greater back and handgrip strength.
Conclusion. ACTN3 R/X polymorphism may influence physical performance attributes relevant to badminton, particularly strength and injury susceptibility.
