Analysis of badminton/receiving skills using a real-time three-dimensional center-of-gravity measurement system without spatial constraints

-Verification of the effect of reaction steps on receive-response behavior -

Abstract

In badminton, the effectiveness of the reaction step (RS), which accompanies three-dimensional movement of the center of gravity, has been reported to improve receiving skills. RS is a technique to acquire the elastic force of the leg muscles and tendons by jumping lightly to quickly move the center of gravity. However, at present, the evaluation is limited to the laboratory environment, so a system that can measure the center of gravity during play is required. The purpose of this research is to develop the above system and to verify the effect of RS on the receiving motion.
