SHOULDER FLEXIBILITY TRAINING ON AGILITY AND BIOMECHANICAL EFFICIENCY IN BADMINTON SMASH PERFORMANCE ON A UNIVERSITY IN SHANDONG, CHINA

Abstract This study examined the impact of shoulder flexibility training on agility and biomechanical efficiency in badminton smash performance among student-athletes from a university in Shandong, China. Using a descriptive, comparative, and correlational research design, data were gathered from 278 badminton players using a validated and reliable researcher-made questionnaire. Results indicated that athletes perceived their shoulder flexibility training as moderately effective in enhancing agility, particularly in improving range of motion and reflexive movements. Similarly, their biomechanical efficiency in smash performance was rated as “somewhat true,” with shoulder and wrist flexibility and kinetic chain utilization receiving the highest scores. Statistical analysis revealed a strong and significant positive correlation (r = 0.971, p < 0.01) between shoulder flexibility training and biomechanical efficiency, confirming that increased flexibility contributes to more effective smash execution, postural control, and reduced muscular strain. These findings underscore the importance of incorporating targeted flexibility training into conditioning programs for badminton players. The study contributes empirical evidence supporting the integration of shoulder flexibility drills to enhance athletic performance and reduce injury risk in competitive badminton settings.
