High-level badminton is a physically demanding sport that puts players at risk of various injuries. Recognizing this, the Badminton World Federation (BWF) has prioritized injury prevention projects for the 2017-2018 BWF sport-science research grants.
Research Grants Emphasize Injury Prevention
Out of the ten research proposals selected, five are dedicated to injury prevention, strengthening, and closely-related topics. Let’s take a closer look at some of these projects:

-
Fiddy Davis, a researcher at the School of Allied Sciences, Manipal University in India, is examining the effectiveness of a comprehensive badminton-specific injury prevention program. This program aims to reduce the risk of overuse and acute injuries in players.
-
Carla van der Merwe from Massey University in New Zealand is focusing on the function and adaptation of foot muscles during court sports that require sudden acceleration. The study aims to understand the impact of training with minimal support or even training barefoot on foot muscles, lower limb mechanics, injury mechanisms, and performance in badminton players.
-
Dr. Olivier Girard and Dr. Mohammed Ihsan from Aspetar Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Hospital in Qatar are researching the effects of ischemic pre-conditioning (IPC) on recovery from fatigue and plantar loading characteristics following simulated match play. IPC is an experimental technique that reduces the loss of blood supply and oxygen to tissues. This study aims to determine if IPC can be used as a conditioning tool to facilitate recovery in badminton players.
