Assessment of dexterity among badminton students when using the “BADCamp” test

Abstract

This article presents the results of tests to determine the dexterity of athletes specializing in badminton when using the "Shuttle Time" program in the training process. The relevance of this article is the application of the “BADCamp" test to determine dexterity in game sports, for example, such as badminton, with its subsequent use in the training process. Also, according to the results of testing athletes, the significance of using the “Shuttle Time" program itself is determined. The expediency of using this program is shown by the results that make it possible to use it in further practical and competitive activities. The article analyzes the results of a dexterity test for badminton athletes in experimental and control groups who study in the first year of two universities. The training activities of the student-athletes of the control group are carried out by traditional methods, and the Asian program “Shuttle Time” is used in the experimental group. The tests were carried out in three stages, with a periodicity of five months. The subjects took one test to determine dexterity – "BADCamp". This study proves the impact of the “Shuttle Time" program on improving the agility of badminton players and the effectiveness of its use in the educational and training process, as well as the possibility of the proposed program to be used in competitive activities in the future.
