Abstract
The aim of this research is to compare the motoric features of badminton players of the national teams participated in International tournament under-15, and to determine whether there is a correlation between the development level of motoric features and the results. Totally 48 players participated in the study, from 6 countries (Turkey, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Serbia, Georgia) participating in the 5th International Rumi Child Sport Games, 24 of whom were females and 24 males. Stature, bodyweight, body mass index (BMI), flexibility, dominant and non-dominant hand grasping power, standing long jump, sit-up for 30 seconds, vertical jumping test, and anaerobic strength values of the participants were detected. It was determined that there were statistically significant differences (p<0.05) between the countries in terms of dominant hand grasping power, vertical jumping, and standing long jump values of the male players; and in terms of bodyweight, BMI, dominant and non-dominant hand grasping power values of the female players. As conclusion, it was found that the motoric features of the players ranked in the International Tournament under-15 were in better level, and it can be concluded for badminton sport that development of motoric features played an important role for success alongside with technique and tactic features.
Highlights
Badminton is one of the most favourite sports in the world, which can be played either for competition or for recreation within all age groups (Sucharitha, Reddy & Madhavi 2014)
A comparison was made about some motoric features of under-15 badminton players of Turkey, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Serbia, and Georgia national teams which participated in the 5th International Rumi Child Sport Games
Development of tactical perception is vital with regards to doing necessary moves and development of technical features gains importance for the quality of the hit and sending the shuttlecock to the aimed location
Summary
Badminton is one of the most favourite sports in the world, which can be played either for competition or for recreation within all age groups (Sucharitha, Reddy & Madhavi 2014). In badminton there is a well-known maxim: If the athlete's foot movement is fast, regular, rhythmic and harmonious he will be successful (Kale, 2011) In this way, the athlete can improve the strength of the muscles, the overall strength and the quickness, while stabilizing the running technique (Kale, 2011; Vicen, Del Coso, Millan, Salinero & Abian, 2012). Badminton is a racket sport theoretically based on hands, the development of motoric features is important depending on high level of struggle effort of the game. Considering both the characteristics of the badminton sport and the basic principles of the game, it is evaluated that the development of the motoric features in badminton sport is important with regards to competition performance. That is why it is thought vital to determine the bio-motoric features of the international badminton players in different age groups for a contribution to the field
