Biomechanics – Motion, Stability and Balance By the end of this session, candidates will be able to: Define biomechanics Describe the laws of motion and use sporting examples that illustrate their application Apply specific biomechanical concepts by using sporting examples, both from other sports and badminton-specific Define, compare and contrast the concepts of stability and balance 9.15am – 9.45am

Biomechanics & Newton’s Laws In pairs, define what we mean by biomechanics & why is understanding biomechanics important in coaching badminton? Read through Newton’s Laws worksheet & complete page 1 Specific biomechanical principles: Applying force over greater distances Use of rotation to produce force Length of lever/limb speed Segmental recruitment Absorbing force Using the stretch shortening cycle In 3s, complete page 2 of the worksheet (applied to coaching a biomechanically effective throwing action) 9.15am – 9.45am

Biomechanics & Newton’s Laws Stability is the ability to resist movement In pairs, practical methods to improve stability, e.g. in defence Also, how would you define balance (& static/dynamic)? 9.15am – 9.45am

Biomechanics & Newton’s Laws Stability is the ability to resist movement In pairs, practical methods to improve stability, e.g. in defence Also, how would you define balance (& static/dynamic)? Balance is the ability to control equilibrium Static balance: Ability to maintain equilibrium Dynamic balance: Ability to flow in and out of equilibrium In pairs, consider following equations and illustrate with example(s):  Stability = ? Static balance  Stability = ? Dynamic balance 9.15am – 9.45am

Technical Training – Movement Recap of Module 2 – Stages of technical development (benchmarks) 4 year – correct shapes & patterns when compared to recognised technical models, sustained under largely predictable environments 8 years – economy, consistency and control in match-like conditions against their peers 12 years – excellent control at extreme pace Movement components at each stage of stroke cycle In 3s, complete Worksheet (Question 1) what types of movements do you see? what are the attributes of a quality mover? 9.45am – 9.55am

Components & qualities of movement Components of movement Starting, stopping, controlling momentum and changing direction & transitions (START) Whole body movement/travelling (pivot steps, arcing steps, chasse, running, hopping, cross behind) & body skills (segments) (PREPARE) Lunging & recovery and/or jumping & landing (HIT) Qualities include Relaxed posture & balanced (dynamic & static?) Use of counter movements Quick/dynamic Short ground contact time Control momentum (change direction) Flow (accelerate after hit, slow just before) Selects appropriate movement and moves efficiently 9.45am – 9.55am

Identifying typical movement patterns In 3 groups, identify and demonstrate key movement patterns (full stroke cycle): Group A: From bases to FC corners Group B: From bases to RC corners Group C: Long diagonals & long distances Same groups, all consider: Examples of Newton’s Laws applied to badminton movement Differences between singles & doubles movement skills Worksheet question 2 9.55am – 10.30am

Movement & biomechanics Same groups, observe 5 demonstrations Analyse badminton movements by applying underpinning biomechanical principles Briefly discuss findings after each demo 10.30am – 10.45am

Movement & biomechanics Same groups, observe 5 demonstrations Analyse badminton movements by applying underpinning biomechanical principles Briefly discuss findings after each demo Should have observed the following: 1. No split drop or slowing down before the opponent’s hit 2. Diagonal jumps taking off the wrong foot and with a heavy landing on the racket leg (often falling out of court) 3. Over-chasseing around the court 4. Collapsing and misaligned lunge 5. Step back on F/H overheads 10.30am – 10.45am

Devising effective technical practices “An effective set of practices will progress in such a way that allow the player to experience success at all stages” “An effective set of practices will put the players in a situation where they cannot help but succeed” In 2s/3s, (a) discuss why this is effective coaching practice and (b) general guidelines for progressing practices 10.45am – 11.15am

Devising effective technical practices STEP variables that can be used to progress practices (i.e. make easier or harder) are Space in which practice takes place Type of activity Equipment used People involved For a given set of variables, practices should be progressed from Simple to complex Slow to quick Closed to open 10.45am – 11.15am

Devising effective technical practices In pairs, devise series of progressive practices to help a player overcome one of the movement challenges demonstrated in the previous section “An effective set of practices will put the players in a situation where they cannot help but succeed” Practices must start very simple and finish with a complex practice involving striking the shuttle (as a minimum) BREAK – 11.15am – 11.30am Candidates demonstrate and deliver technical practices Discuss appropriateness of progressions Do the practices provide credible opportunities for players to experience success at every stage? 10.45am – 12.30pm

Lunch 12.30pm – 1.15pm

Feeding skills In 2s/3s: How would you define “effective feeding”? Contrast advantages and disadvantages of multi-feeding and continuous rallying Discuss ways a feed can be varied to support progression 1.15pm – 2.00pm

Feeding skills “Effective feeding” – the ability to deliver the shuttle consistently to the required area, so that players are given meaningful practice opportunities Ways a feed may be varied Power, trajectory, predictability, frequency Demonstration of underarm and overarm multi-feed techniques Multi-feed challenges in pairs: Using an underarm multi-feed: Improve player’s ability to look for attacking opportunities in the FC after F/H smash Using an overarm multi-feed: Improve player’s (a) F/H defence, (b) B/H defence and (c) ability to rapidly change grip in defence 1.15pm – 2.00pm

Technical Training – Hitting Recap of Module 2 – Stages of technical development (benchmarks) 4 year – correct shapes & patterns when compared to recognised technical models, sustained under largely predictable environments 8 years – economy, consistency and control in match-like conditions against their peers 12 years – excellent control at extreme pace In 2s/3s, discuss Grips on F/H side when racket is above and below hand when shuttle is (a) in front, (b) at side and (c) behind body Grips on B/H side when racket is above and below hand when shuttle is (a) in front, (b) at side and (c) behind body What is it that ultimately determines grip? 2.00pm – 2.15pm

Technical Training – Hitting Basic principles that underpin hitting (see Worksheet): 1. There are thousands of grips 2. Either hit through the shuttle or across the shuttle (by adjusting the racket face) In pairs, observe 5 demonstrations Analyse badminton hitting by applying underpinning biomechanical principles and/or grip principles (note observations on Worksheet) Briefly discuss findings after each demo Observe and analyse by: Breaking action down into smaller phases Observe several times from different angles Compare against recognised technical model Select specific technical element to work on Identify the relevant biomechanical principles 2.15pm – 2.45pm

Hitting & biomechanics You should have observed the following: 1. Panhandle grip striking shuttle too far in front – flexion/extension of wrist dominant 2. Straight arm/long swing on F/H cross-net 3. Floppy wrist on B/H lift off body 4. “Scratch your back” with flexion/extension 5. Point and poke on B/H overhead In pairs, identify underlying biomechanical principles and/or grip principles 2.15pm – 2.45pm
