Standards and Test Procedures for Fitness

Standards and Test Procedures for Fitness

An important part of training is the ability to measure your progress. Djarum Badminton Club has developed a number of tests that are designed for the player and coach for badminton fitness measure. They were chosen because the majority: 

• easy to do over and over again 

• easy to implement 

• accurate enough for measurement standards in the field. 

However, some tests require special equipment, which is why in-design is also an alternative test 

These tests mustinya is familiar to the majority of players for badminton athletes wear for physical preparation. This test is important for the coach to help identify strengths and weaknesses in athletes. Baseline assessment / early against athletes can also be done with this test can then be assigned to the target / goal. In general, similar to badminton exercise conditioning on the tennis and squash, but the assessment of the fitness and simple motion analysis gives a clear picture of the existence of some differences which indicate that badminton has a unique movement style and specific fitness demands. One important thing to keep in mind is the size badminton court which has a play area that is smaller than most other indoor sports. Smaller area means that players do not have time to develop maximum speed. That is why athletes badminton is very dependent on the fitness concerns 'stop-start interval'. Therefore, explosive movements such as jumping, reversing direction, the 'speed of the mark', widened movement and agility / flexibility is very important. 

Another difference is that many do badminton overhead punch - far more than tennis or sqash. Badminton players are much more dependent on the rotation of the upper arm and wrist muscle movement to generate power than tennis players. Although this does not lead to large differences in the training program, but the selection of the type of exercise and the portion of time that a particular practice is destined to be important considerations. Finally fertilization strength and explosive power should be a fundamental part in the badminton training programs - need to maximize speed on the field and a powerful overhead smash. Emphasis should be placed on training programs in a balanced and carefully-design that includes not only skills training, but also the conditioning interval training, strength & power, core stability, balance, flexibility, speed and recovery if necessary. 

Research on Physical Needs 

Not a lot of research on the physical needs in badminton, but of the few studies that have been conducted, showing an aerobic endurance capacity are well developed seems necessary for rapid recovery between rallies. The results of the analysis of the characteristics of competitive badminton by Cabello Manrique D, González-Badillo JJ in 2003, with 3 x 15 scoring system (Br J Sports Med 2003; 37:62-66) confirmed the presence of high demands to the badminton against the maximum heart rate 190 , 5 beats / min with an average of 173.5 beats / min during the game. Average time rally at the elite level is 6-8 seconds and interspersed with rest periods of approximately 15 seconds. Rally individual requires high anaerobic, "alactic energy system" with several successive rally rely on recovery "creatine phosphate pool". 

This study shows that a badminton match with high average intensity shows the importance of energy production in anaerobic and aerobic alactacid in competitive badminton. In Manual Test, there are some standard tests that we recommend to use some measure 

different aspects of fitness badminton. Many Badminton Association International utilize most of these tests. The information generated tests are very important for the players and the coach to design a training program. Test that exist in this booklet is used by the Coach and Athlete Djarum (senior and junior) in conjunction with tests of other badminton and in-design developed by the Coaches Djarum and PBSI. 

Note: Please read the rules and instructions carefully before performing these tests 

Benchmark Test. What is it and why use it? 

Test benchmark to evaluate the fitness at the beginning of the exercise period or year. This test gives the coach an important benchmark information about the fitness level of the athlete at the beginning. 

Do not think to start training when the test results Athletes ugly at the beginning and they are not in a condition ready to practice for the competition, is actually a better athlete began to test their fitness at rest (of the competition) and was not injured. That is why the profile 'performance testing' can be made and the initial stages of training can be designed. 

Adaptation Testing 

This test should be conducted several times throughout the training period. These tests will record how the training load of air-effects on the athlete's body. The goal is not always to mengechek a high increase, especially at the junior athletes, but to make judgments about how young athletes go through and adjust the training load. For example, if there is little or no improvement occurred while the athlete to run the program properly, the athlete may be too tired and too heavy training load. This often happens in the case of 'over-training' and imbalance between skills training, strength and conditioning. If it looks good to an increase, then it shows that the training load can run both the new and the load needs to be added. 

performance Test 

This test is ideally performed 3-4 weeks outside the major championships to determine the current physical condition of the athlete. The result will show you how to improve the sharpness and provide direction to the final preparations before the big event. 

This test must be performed at rest (no exercise) to give an accurate picture of the condition of the last athletes. High heart rate and unstable test results could indicate that athletes fatigue, training load is too high and that training needs to be modified to allow the athlete to recover in time to prepare for the 'big event' 

before the Test 

Some of these tests are laborious and maximum. Rest of the test is important to obtain accurate results. Do not do a test that is in this book in a row, or all in one day. Ideally, given the longer breaks between the test results will be more accurate. 

Athletes should also be in good physical condition before undergoing the test. It is important that athletes undergo these tests with the consent of parents / supervisors or medical personnel. 

preparation 

Athletes should not train for 24 hours before the benchmark tests, adaptation or performance. They should do a warm up and stretch as normal before the session in the field. Athletes should be enough to eat and drink. Drinking water should also be provided during the test. Let no strenuous exercise for 48 hours before the test (hard workout or cardio fitness)
