The Effect of Training With Loaded Rackets On The Development Of Force Momentum And Straight Forehand In Badminton

Abstract

The problem of the research lies in weakness in straight forehand stroke in
national badminton league athletes. This skill requires strength and high speed to be
performed correctly thus force momentum of the hitting arm should be increased. The
research aimed at designing special exercises using loaded rackets to develop force
momentum for the hitting arm while performing straight forehand by national badminton
league athletes. The researchers used the experimental method. The subjects were (6)
national badminton athletes. Pre tests included hitting arm tests followed by the training
program with two training sessions per week for six weeks. The data was collected and
treated using proper statistical operations. The researchers concluded that the tests showed
great results in favor of posttests of accuracy and force momentum. Finally the researchers
recommended using loaded weights on other variables for badminton athletes
