Background and Study Aim: This study aims to conduct a biomechanical analysis of smash shots in badminton with a focus on the comparison between elite and recreational players. In this context, an in-depth understanding of the biomechanical characteristics of smash shots is expected to provide insight into the key factors that differentiate between elite and recreational players. By involving a systematic review of the existing literature, this study sought to make an essential contribution to a comprehensive understanding of the biomechanical aspects of smash shots.Material and Methods: This study utilized a systematic review design by conducting a literature search through several relevant databases. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were established to select studies that fit the research objectives. The selection of elite and recreational players as research subjects was the main focal point, with significant biomechanical variables identified. Data analysis was conducted by detailing the key results related to smash shots of both groups of players.
Results: A systematic analysis of the literature revealed significant differences in the biomechanics of smash shots between elite and recreational badminton players. Elite players exhibited more optimized movement patterns, racket speed and body coordination, giving them an edge in smash stroke execution. These findings reinforce the importance of certain biomechanical factors that need to be considered in the practice and development of smash shot skills to achieve higher levels of performance.Conclusions: Based on systematic analysis, the conclusion of this study confirms that elite badminton players have significantly different biomechanical characteristics in smash shots compared to recreational players. The implication is that specialized drills and training can be directed towards improving certain biomechanical aspects to enhance smash stroke performance. This study provides an essential foundation for the development of more effective training methods in improving the technical abilities of badminton players, both for those at the elite and recreational levels.
