Correlation between angular kinematical variables with the performance of forehand overhead clear in badminton

Abstract

The aim of the research was to establish the correlation between joint angles and the efficacy of executing the forehand overhead clear stroke in badminton. Methodology: In this study, the sample group was comprised of twelve male players who were selected from the inter-university or national level. The participants' ages fell within the range of 18 to 25 years. Body angles were meticulously measured using kinovea software, with the data recorded in degrees. Additionally, performance assessments were conducted through subjective evaluations by experienced officials, employing a comprehensive three-judge rating system. Data analysis was carried out using the correlation test, specifically the Pearson correlation method. The significance level for the analysis was set at 0.05, ensuring thorough scrutiny and reliability of the results. Conclusion: Based on the findings of the study, it is determined that there exists a notable discrepancy in the right wrist angle concerning the execution of the forehand overhead clear stroke in badminton.
