Abstract

This study aims to define a proper process of a Badminton-specific warm-up, which helps a player perform well in tournaments and achieve better results with appropriate injury management. Badminton players need speed, agility, endurance, and strength to cover the court quickly, react to shots, and maintain a high level of play throughout a match. This analysis reviews the player's performance with a designed warm-up process. A well-planned warm-up has the potential to not only prepare athletes physically and mentally but also possess the ability to reduce the likelihood of injury and improve performance, highlighting its significant importance in HYPERLINK "https://www.scienceforsport.com/how-sporting-parents-can-ensure-they-give-their-kids-the-best-chance-of-sporting-success/" \h athletic development. General warm-up specifically targets increasing body temperature and heart rate, which only involves basic body movements. Specific warm-ups target a particular muscle group and movements related to the activity. Concisely, a general warm-up is a broader preparation, while a specific warm-up is tailored to a certain activity. So, there is a need for sports specific warm-up programs. This approach of defined step-by-step warm-up procedures will help players in their performance and develop a standard procedure for the warm-up. As per the data collected during the analysis, the designed warm-up program showed better results in the performance of badminton players.
