“…The level of results obtained for this ability depends on numerous factors, e.g. age, the type of stimulus (visual, auditory, complex), training experience and the stage of training [18,30,31,32,33]. This study found that the results of young badminton players are improving for consecutive training categories, which is caused by developmental processes and sportspecific training.…”

Material/MethodsThe results of the tests of coordination motor abilities were collected from 30 badminton players (younger cadets, cadets and juniors) and 54 peers who were non-athletes. Computer tests were used to evaluate selected coordination motor abilities using a touch screen laptop. Means between age groups of athletes were compared based on one-way analysis of variance or its non-parametric counterpart. The significance of differences between means of the two groups was evaluated using Student's t-test for unrelated samples, the CochranCox test and the Mann-Whitney U test. ResultsComparison of the results of tests of coordination motor abilities between groups of athletes at various chronological ages revealed statistically significant differences in 11 cases. Furthermore, differences in the level of coordination motor abilities between badminton players and non-athlete peers were found at individual training stages (younger cadets, cadets, juniors). These regularities were especially noticeable for times of simple reaction to visual and auditory stimuli. ConclusionsTraining experience has a significant effect on the level of the analysed coordination motor abilities of badminton players. This correlation concerns all the analysed coordination abilities. With regard to practical implications of the training process of young badminton players, one should emphasize the development of coordination motor abilities.

“…The morphofunctional model of juniors also included coordination abilities: mean choice reaction time, spatial orientation, coupled motions, and kinaesthetic differ entiation of temporal movement parameters. The im portance of visualmotor coordination and reaction time for the game was also confirmed in comparative studies [14,16,[28][29][30]. Furthermore, their role in teaching technique has been discussed by Mooney and Mutrie [31], and Sakurai and ohtsuki [32].…”

Purpose. The aim of the study was to examine mutual compensations of somatic and functional variables in a group of junior badminton players. Methods. The material of the study represented the results of 24 elite Polish badminton players with average competitive experience of 8.2 year. basic somatic characteristics, coordination motor abilities, and motor fitness in terms of speed abilities, maximum anaerobic power, muscle strength, and cardiorespiratory strength were examined. Results. The morphofunctional profiles in 7 players with top skill level are not identical. The variables that form these profiles interact with and compensate for each other. Some elite players show dominance of physical abilities, while somatic or coordination motor abilities are more pronounced in others. Several athletes were also characterized by a balanced morpho functional profile. Conclusions. The phenomenon observed requires further examinations, especially those based on the data derived from the category of senior champions.

“…For this reason, players must have a high level of divisibility of attention, precision and accuracy of movements, speed of movements and spatial orientation and anticipation [31]. Among the identified coordination motor abilities, the most frequently analysed were reaction time levels of badminton players relative to comparative groups, mostly non-athlete peers or competitors from other sports [3,5,9,34]. The literature review shows that badminton players have better reaction times compared to non-athletes from control groups.…”

SummaryStudy aim: To determine the level and internal structure of profiles of coordination motor abilities in elite judokas and badminton players compared to a group of non-athletes.Material and methods: The material for the study was the results collected from 12 competitors of the Polish national badminton team (age: 22.7 ± 4.5), 10 members of the national judo team who represented mean weight categories (age: 23.0 ± 3.3) and 25 non-athletes, who were male university students of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport (age: 23.0 ± 0.8). The scope of the study included basic somatic features and selected coordination motor abilities measured by means of computer tests.Results: Statistically significant differences between badminton players and judokas were obtained for reaction times (visual, auditory and selective) as well as spatial orientation. In all cases, a higher level was found for badminton players. Furthermore, analysis of differences between badminton players and non-athletes revealed statistically significant differences only for the selective reaction time. A substantial differentiation of the internal structure of the models of coordination motor abilities was obtained. This pattern was particularly noticeable in the group of judokas and badminton players, where the difference between characteristics was ca. 0.76 SD. Substantially smaller differences (0.21 SD) between particular variables included in the coordination profile were found for non-athlete university students.Conclusion: The lower results of the elite judokas show the need for developing the coordination motor abilities during training. The largest reserves are to be found in raising the level of reaction times and spatial orientation.
