Effect of visual feedback on the badminton serve accuracy in training and match conditions
Original language description
Players in badminton don't have full feedback about their shot accuracy unless the opponent allows the shuttlecock to impact the ground. Borderline in/out situations often arise while receiving a backhand short serve, which is the most common serve type in elite badminton. The aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of badminton players' short backhand serves under two different visual feedback conditions: one with limited visual feedback of the shuttlecock trajectory (simulated match condition using occlusion) and one with full visual feedback, including the visibility of shuttlecock impact (training condition). We observed 12 badminton players in this experiment. They executed a total of 960 serves in training and simulated match conditions. The results showed a difference in the short serve accuracy impacting the serves significantly closer to the line in training conditions (M = 25.0 +- 7.1) compared to simulated match conditions (M = 40.6 +- 10.6) p < 0.001, d = 1.45. Based on the findings we suggest exercises as an implication, that couldimprove the serve accuracy and can be adopted to practice sessions. Finally, this study provides evidence that visual occlusion restricting the visual feedback and serve outcome affects the short serve accuracy in badminton.
