Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to develop and evaluate a new warm-up program specifically designed for recreational badminton players. The program focuses on exercises that enhance balance and reduce the risk of ankle injury. Participants will be asked to follow this warm-up routine, and their performance will be assessed before and after to see if the exercises improve their balance and overall movement. The goal is to create a practical, effective warm-up routine that can be easily incorporated into badminton practice.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study investigates the effectiveness of a novel neuromuscular warm-up program tailored for recreational badminton players. The program is designed to improve balance, enhance movement efficiency and reduce the risk of injuries commonly associated with badminton.

Participants will be recruited from recreational badminton clubs and will undergo baseline assessments of balance performance and lunge movement using motion capture (Mocap), EMG. and inertia measurement unit (IMU). The warm-up program includes a series of targeted exercises selected based on expert consensus from a previous Delphi study. These exercises focus on key areas such as dynamic stability, and proprioception.

Participants perform pre and post test with Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) and forward lunge movement with (IMU, MOcap and MEG) attached on the lower limb. The intervention will be: 1) novel neuromuscular warmup and 2) traditional warmup. Participants will perform both the warmup but on different days with one day rest in between the interventions.

The study\'s findings aim to inform best practices for warm-up routines in badminton, potentially offering a standardized program that can be widely adopted by recreational players to enhance their performance and safety on the court.

Study Design

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

CROSSOVER

This study uses a crossover design where each participant will experience both the neuromuscular warm-up program (intervention) and the traditional warm-up (control). The order of the interventions will be randomized. After completing the first condition, participants will have a one-day washout period before switching to the other condition. This design allows each participant to serve as their own control, which enhances the comparison between the effects of the two conditions.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental

badminton players who plays badminton socially once a week with minimum experience of three years

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Neuromuscular Warmup Program

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

This intervention consists of a structured warm-up routine specifically designed to enhance neuromuscular function and balance. The program includes exercises such as two way forward lunge, single-leg balance, multidirectional lunges, single-leg hops forward and backward, and single-leg calf raises. Each exercise is aimed at improving proprioception, dynamic stability, and lower limb strength.

Control

badminton players who plays badminton socially once a week with minimum experience of three years

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Traditional Warmup Program

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

This intervention involves a conventional warm-up program. It includes general stretching exercises and light jogging intended to prepare the body for physical activity.
