Scientific Analysis and Recommendations on the Impact of Core Strength Training on Badminton Performance

Abstract

Research Objectives: Core strength training is widely applied in various sports, playing a critical role in enhancing athletic performance and preventing sports injuries. Badminton, as a physically demanding, net-based sport with extended match durations, imposes high technical and competitive demands on athletes, while also posing risks of sports injuries due to its high-intensity nature.Research Methods: The study employed methods such as literature review and logical analysis.Research Results and Conclusions: Existing domestic and international research primarily focuses on two aspects of core strength training in badminton: improving the quality of athletes’ technical movements and preventing sports injuries. However, systematic analysis is lacking in areas such as the specific core muscle groups corresponding to fundamental badminton techniques, the types of injuries sustained, and their relationship to core muscles. This study systematically describes the core muscle groups involved in basic badminton technical movements and identifies common injury sites and types in badminton. Additionally, it provides valuable insights into how core strength training can enhance the quality of technical movements in badminton athletes and offers practical strategies for preventing specific injuries by strengthening targeted core muscle groups.
