“…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.…”

“…After determining the experimental test action, a lab-simulated badminton court facilitated with an 8-camera Vicon motion capture system and synchronously connected AMTI force plates was set up for the biomechanical experiment to record the markers' positions and ground reaction forces during badminton footwork [5,10,11]. The data collection frequencies were 200 Hz and 1000 Hz, respectively.…”

“…The marker set model in this study included markers to both acromia of the torso, bilateral ASIS and PSIS of the pelvis, 3-marker cluster to the lateral aspect of both thighs, medial and lateral knee epicondyles, 3-marker cluster to the lateral aspect of both shank, medial, and lateral ankle malleoli, posterior calcaneus, anterior toe-tip, medial M1, and lateral M5 of the bilateral lower limb. The model was employed and validated in our previous study of badminton directional lunges [5,10]. The lab setup included a badminton net and stick-hang shuttlecock in the target region for lunges to mimic real court situations.…”

“…This study aimed to investigate the effect of the split-step on the performance of the badminton net lunge. Thus, as a close chain, the stance phase focused on analyzing the contact times, joint angles, and vertical ground reaction force (VGRF), defined from the threshold of 20 N in vertical ground reaction force [5,10]. Given their velocity sensitivity, the velocity was regulated utilizing a stopwatch to account for its impact on biomechanical parameters.…”

“…In badminton matches, athletes are required to swiftly react to the opponents' shots and quickly maneuver to appropriate positions for a counterattack. Efficient badminton footwork techniques, such as jump landing, split-step, forehand and backhand lunging steps, cross steps, lateral shuffles, rapid net shots, and turning, play a crucial role in athletes' movement efficiency and shot quality [1,4,5]. In this process, athletes must rapidly initiate and adeptly employ a series of complex footwork combinations, such as initiating with small steps followed by cross steps, adjustment steps, large strides, propulsion steps, jump steps, and take-off steps, to swiftly react to the incoming shuttlecock.…”

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.

Directional changes in cutting maneuvers are critical in sports, where shoe torsional stiffness (STS) is an important factor. Shoes are designed based on different constructions and movement patterns. Hence, it is unclear how adjustable spacers into the sole constructions of air pressure chambers (APC) affect the STS in side-step cutting. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of altered STS through adjustable sole spacers on ground reaction force (GRF) and ankle and knee joint moments in side-step cutting. Seventeen healthy recreational athletes performed side-step cutting with experimental conditions including (i) barefoot (BF), (ii) unaltered shoes (UAS): soles consisting of APC, and (iii) altered shoes (AS): modified UAS by inserting elastomeric spacers into cavities formed by APC. Mechanical and biomechanical variables were measured. Significant differences were revealed across shoe conditions for impact peak (p = 0.009) and impulse (p = 0.018) in vertical GRF, time to achieve peak braking (p = 0.004), and peak propulsion (p = 0.025) for anterior-posterior GRF in ANOVA test. No significant differences were observed in GRF peaks and impulses between UAS and AS except for a trend of differences in impact peak (p = 0.087) for vertical GRF. At the ankle and knee joint, peak ankle power absorption (p = 0.019), peak knee internal rotation moment (p = 0.042), peak knee extension moment (p = 0.001), peak knee flexion moment (0.000), peak knee power absorption (p = 0.047) showed significant difference across three shoe conditions. However, no significant differences between the UAS and AS were noticed for peak joint moments and power. Altered shoe torsional stiffness did not significantly affect the peak forces and peak ankle and knee joint moments or powers; hence sole adjustment did not influence the cutting performance. This study might be insightful in sports footwear design, and adjusting shoe torsional stiffness by sole modification might be advantageous for athletes playing sports with cutting maneuvers to reduce the risk of injuries by controlling the twisting force at the ankle that frequently happens during cutting maneuvers.
