Abstract

Background: It is particularly important to improve the overall physical level of adolescents through sports, and while teenagers actively participate in sports activities, they can improve their physical fitness and improve their psychological endurance. Therefore, this research aims to develop community youth badminton training programs to improve health-related physical fitness and badminton skills and study the effects of badminton on adolescents' body elements before and after the experiment.

Methodology: The subjects were 30 badminton students with simple random sampling to examine the pre-test of muscle strength, muscular endurance, cardiorespiratory capacity, flexibility, body composition, and badminton skills. Then the training was carried out according to a community youth badminton training program for 2.50 hours a day, 5 days a week (Monday to Friday), for 8 weeks. The intermediate and post-test data after the 4th and 8th weeks were prepared, the mean and standard deviation were analyzed, one-way ANOVA repeated measures were used to compare the differences, and Bonferroni was used for post-hoc paired comparison. The significance level was set at.05

Results: (1) The mean comparison between the post-test with the pre-test and after week 4 with the post-test of push-ups 60-sec test, sit-ups 60-sec test, sit and reach test, multi-fitness test, muscle mass, and Fat percentage were statistically significant. (2) The mean comparison between the post-test with the pre-test and after week 4 with the pre-test of basic badminton skills were significant differences.

Conclusion: After the fourth training week, the data points to a considerable improvement in several fitness metrics as well as body composition. Notable improvements in fundamental badminton abilities were also noted after the intervention period. Thus, community youth badminton training programs can improve health-related physical fitness.
