“…All participants were experienced players with right-sided dominance for racquet grasp and right leg performing lunges, as badminton footwork typically involves unilateral hand and foot [3,5,10]. Specifically, all badminton players initiated the FH and BH lunges with a split-step, stepping up the left foot, followed by the right leg and foot for lunges to the proper forecourt or the left forecourt.…”

Background: This research investigates the biomechanical impact of the split-step technique on forehand and backhand lunges in badminton, aiming to enhance players’ on-court movement efficiency. Despite the importance of agile positioning in badminton, the specific contributions of the split-step to the biomechanical impact of lunging footwork still need to be determined. Methods: This study examined the lower limb kinematics and ground reaction forces of 18 male badminton players performing forehand and backhand lunges. Data were collected using the VICON motion capture system and Kistler force platforms. Variability in biomechanical characteristics was assessed using paired-sample t-tests and Statistical Parametric Mapping 1D (SPM1D). Results: The study demonstrates that the split-step technique in badminton lunges significantly affects lower limb biomechanics. During forehand lunges, the split-step increases hip abduction and rotation while decreasing knee flexion at foot contact. In backhand lunges, it increases knee rotation and decreases ankle rotation. Additionally, the split-step enhances the loading rate of the initial ground reaction force peak and narrows the time gap between the first two peaks. Conclusions: These findings underscore the split-step’s potential in optimizing lunging techniques, improving performance and reducing injury risks in badminton athletes.

“…Badminton, as a widely popular sport globally, attracts numerous enthusiasts and professional athletes due to its fast-paced, agile, and highly skilled nature [1][2][3]. In badminton matches, athletes are required to swiftly react to the opponents' shots and quickly maneuver to appropriate positions for a counterattack.…”

“…The spontaneous movement is an expression and reflection of early neural activity, knowledge of normal development of fetus movements, and the assessment of the quality of fetus movement that might shed light on the integrity of the nervous system and neural development [ 6 , 13 ]. Thus, the examinations of spontaneous leg movements are applied to determine the segmental level of neural tube lesion [ 14 ].…”

The fetus movements play an important role in fetal well-being. With the continuous advancement of real-time scanning machines, it is feasible to observe the fetus movement in detail. The characteristics of fetal lower limb movements in prenatal examination have not been systematically investigated. This review proposes the patterns of fetal lower limb movements, the maternal influence on fetal lower limb movements, and the application of fetal lower limb movements for the diagnosis of prenatal diseases. A systematic search of literature on the lower limb movements of the fetus in uterus was performed in the databases, namely, Web of Science and Scopus. Thirty-four publications were selected. This review demonstrates that isolated fetal lower limb movements are rare and always accompanied with the movements of other body segments. Detection of the presence of fetal leg movements seems to be of no diagnostic value for fetuses with prenatal diseases. The isolated lower limb movement was statistically significant different between fetuses of low- and high-risk pregnant women. The coordinated movements of the fetal lower limbs and other parts should be considered when analyzing fetal movements in the future study.

“…In recent years, table tennis technology has been constantly advancing [6], such as the diameter of table tennis ball changing from 38 mm to 40+ mm. It is difficult for professional table tennis athletes to score directly in one round of matches; thus, high-level table tennis players in training and competition should pay a great deal of attention to the practice of this technique to continuously improve the quality and stability and strengthen the ability to apply it in the actual combat of the game [7,8]. Therefore, table tennis athletes need to improve the quality of their strokes to create favorable conditions and to pose a greater threat to their opponents in table tennis matches.…”

Topspin is one of the most attacking strokes in table tennis, and topspin forehand loop is an effective way to score. The aim of this study was to investigate the kinematics of the lower extremities in topspin forehand loop between different levels via OpenSim Musculoskeletal Modelling. Ten elite athletes (NL1) and ten medium athletes (NL2) performed the topspin forehand loop without muscle and joint injuries. An eight-camera Vicon motion capture system was used to measure the kinematics data. During the topspin forehand loop, the forward phase (FP) and the entire phase (EP) of the NL1 were significantly shorter than that of the NL2. In the sagittal plane, NL1 significantly had greater hip and ankle flexion and extension at range of motion (ROM) but less hip flexion and knee flexion at FP and less ankle flexion at BP than NL2. In the frontal plane, NL1 displayed less ROM in the hip joint and significantly less hip abduction ROM at the backward phase (BP). In the transverse plane, NL1 had a significantly greater ROM in the hip joint and displayed significantly less hip ROM at the BP. The level differences presented in this study could help table tennis athletes to improve performance and coaches to develop technical training.
