Dynamic analysis using (Babolat Play) as a means of predicting the performance of the forehand drive stroke of the first ranked Iraqi badminton player

Abstract

The importance of the research lies in providing an equation to predict the performance of the forehand driven stroke in badminton according to some dynamic variables using (Babolat Play), as this equation helps specialists and researchers in the sports field to judge the level of achievement (performance) . As well as obtaining and generalizing the results, in addition to saving time, effort and money by returning to this equation, in addition to identifying the variables affecting the level of achievement (performance) based on those results, as for the research problem, through the researcher's review of various scientific sources, both international and Arab, he found that there is ambiguity surrounding the cognitive aspects of this skill, especially in detecting, predicting and evaluating those variables affecting performance, the research aimed to predict the performance of the forehand driven stroke according to some dynamic variables for the first-ranked Iraqi player in badminton, as for the method, the researcher used the descriptive method using the correlation method to suit the nature of the research, and the research sample was the first-ranked Iraqi player under the age of (17) years in badminton, where (50) were taken An attempt by the player and the researcher used the appropriate devices and tools for his research procedures, as he used a test for the accuracy of the performance of the forehand driven stroke and the (Babolat Play) device, which is a device attached to the bottom of the racket and contains sensors to extract dynamic variables. After obtaining the results and dealing with them statistically, the researcher concluded that the calculated values of the dynamic variables varied between significant and insignificant in their effect on the dependent variable, skill performance.

Skill performance can also be predicted according to the linear equation, and the highest direct effect on the performance of the forehand driven stroke skill was recorded by the variable of the time of impact through the results.

The researcher recommended the necessity of focusing on the training process in developing the dynamic variables that achieved the highest effect on the performance of the front drive strike. The linear equation can also be adopted as a method to predict the performance of the forehand driven stroke. Researchers should adopt the (Babolat Play) device when conducting a similar study on other skills for the accuracy of the results extracted in the research.
