March 4, 2024 updated by: Riphah International University

Association of Hand and Forearm Anthropometrics With Grip Strength and Forehand Smash Quality Following Six-week Elastic Resistance Training in Collegiate Badminton Players

To determine the association of hand and forearm anthropometrics on grip strength and forehand smash quality of badminton players after six-weeks of elastic resistance training.

Detailed Description

As literature suggests that anthropometrics such as BMI and height do affect many game outcomes but specific anthropometrics have not been considered before so it is included in this study. Similarly the affects of elastic resistance training for lower limb has been recorded while the literature lacks for upper limb.
