Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of high intensity intermittent badminton multishuttle feeding training on aerobic and anaerobic capacity, leg strength qualities and agility. A total of 18 university college badminton players (age= 20±1; weight= 65.3±11kg; height=173.0±5.3cm) took part in this study and were divided into experimental group (n=9) and control group (n=9). Both groups remained their normal training routines while experimental group went through an addition training of high intensity intermittent badminton multishuttle feeding training for 4 weeks. The subjects were tested on VO2 max Test, Wingate Ergometer Test, Countermovement Vertical Jump, Drop Jump and Illinois Agility Test. The data analysis showed that there were significant improvements in VO2max (p=0.001), mean power (p=0.042), reactive strength (p=0.001) and agility (p=0.000) in experimental group. Conversely, there were no significant improvements in peak power (p=0.915) and jump height (p=0.12) in experimental group. Meanwhile, control groups did not show any significant improvements in all the tested variables. This showed that the high intensity intermittent badminton multishuttle feeding training could improve aerobic and anaerobic capacity, reactive strength and agility of college badminton players.
