BADMINTON
2

• SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES
• A SKILL
• Is an action that we use in an activity
• Service, Clear shot are all examples of skills
• TECHNIQUE
• Is the way in which a skill is performed
• Examples of different techniques in badminton
• High / Low service
• Overhead clear or net clear
• Smash or jump smash

3

• EASY AND COMPLEX SKILLS
• Easy Skills have
• Few subroutines
• Physically undemanding
• Little co-ordination
• Simple order of movements
• One movement at a time
• Easy environment

4
EASY AND COMPLEX SKILLS

• Complex Skills have
• Many subroutines
• Physically demanding
• Good co-ordination
• Complicated order of movements
• Many movements at the same time
• Difficult environment

5
DESCRIBING A SKILL

• Trying to describe a skill is often easier when
  you look at it in 3 parts
• These 3 parts are
• Preparation
• Action
• Recovery

6
DESCRIBING A SKILL

• PREPARATION PHASE
• What happens in order to allow the action to take
  place
• ACTION PHASE
• Describes the actual action
• RECOVERY PHASE
• What happens after the action is complete

7
DESCRIBING OVERHEAD CLEAR

• PREPERATION
• START FREOM BASE
• TRACK SHUTTLE AND MOVE TOWARDS IT
• TURN BODY SIDE ON
• RACKET UP AND BEHIND HEAD
• WEIGHT ONTO BACK FOOT
• FRONT ARM OUT FOR BALANCE/TRACK SHUTTLE

• ACTION
• SHOULDER/ARM BROUGHT FORWARD AT SPEED
• ACTION RESEMBLES THROWING ACTION
• WEIGHT TRANSFERS ONTO FRONT FOOT AT SHUTTLE
  IMPACT
• CONTACT SHUTTLE ABOVE HEAD
• STRIKE THROUGH SHUTTLE

• RECOVERY
• RACKET COMES DOWN AND ACROSS BODY
• RETURN TO MIDDLE OF COURT INTO READY POSITION
  WAITING TO RECEIVE NEXT SHOT

8
STAGES OF LEARNING

• There are 3 important stages in learning and
  developing skills
• Planning stage (Cognitive)
• Practice stage
• Automatic stage
• REMEMBER When DESCRIBING a skill we use PAR
  (preparation, action, recovery) see your notes
  on this in your Swimming lectures

9
PLANNING STAGE

• Find out what the skill involves
• Establish all the parts of the skill
• First attempts at skill
• Many errors
• Cognitive process

10
PRACTICE STAGE

• Linking all the parts together of the skill
• Simple skill require less practice than complex
  skills
• Less errors during performance at this stage

11
AUTOMATIC STAGE

• No errors
• Key parts automatic therefore able to link
  various other skills together
• Basketball lay up requires speed, power to jump
  whilst dribbling, jumping, holding the ball and
  hitting a target.

12
METHODS OF LEARNING

• WHOLE-PART-WHOLE
• Used by performers who already have experience of
  that activity/skill
• Used with simple skills
• Perform skill, identify weakness, practice that
  weakness then perform whole skill again
• Badminton example Whole Overhead clear, Part-
  Develop footwork and leading leg, Whole- practice
  full overhead clear shot

13
METHODS OF LEARNING

• GRADUAL BUILD-UP
• Used to learn complex(difficult) skills
• Learnt in stages, with each stage more demanding
  and required to be mastered before moving onto
  the next
• Learner can therefore concentrate on one part of
  the skill at a time before moving on
• An example from basketball lay up 1) shot from
  1 step and jump shoot, 2) shot with 2 steps and
  jump shoot, 3) 1 bounce, 2 steps and jump shoot
  4) dribble, 2 steps and jump shoot

14
SKILLS PRACTICE

• A player will use a series of drills to
  concentrate on the skill
• These drills will become harder so that the skill
  becomes more game-like
• If practice sessions are too long problems occur
• Tiredness drop in performance levels. Make
  sure sessions are not to long and are broken into
  short sections with rest periods.
• Boredom loss of concentration and performance
  drops. Vary practices and dont make then too
  long
• Progression practices must become progressively
  
• Harder/more variety helping the performer improve
  

15
FEEDBACK

• When learning or practicing skills, the performer
  is helped by receiving feedback about their
  performance.
• FEEDBACK is information received about a
  performance.
• There are 3 different types of feedback that help
  us understand our performance
• EXTERNAL (visual, written, video)
• INTERNAL (how it feels to you Kinaesthetic
• KNOWLEDGE OF RESULTS (scores, times, distances)

16
ANALYSING A PERFORMANCE

• Observe your partners performance
• Compare performance against model performer
• Give positive feedback on performance
• Tell partner what they are doing wrong
• Suggest improvements they could make
• Watch partners performance again checking for
  improvements

17
TRANSFER OF WEIGHT

• Some skills and techniques require our Centre of
  Gravity moving outside our base of support
• When this happens we must transfer our weight to
  stay balanced and upright
• Sometimes weight transfer is for single action
  like throwing or repeated actions like running

18
EXAMPLES OF TRANSFER OF WEIGHT

• Badminton High serve
• Weight transfers from back to front foot during
  impact
• Both feet must remain on the ground during service

• Badminton Smash shot
• Weight transfers from back to front foot during
  impact of shuttle

19
Weight Transfer Benefits

• Increase in Power
• Allows more power for shots like overhead clear,
  serve and smash
• Maintain Balance
• Maintaining balance so that you can sustain your
  body shape or movements (net shot)
• Increase Accuracy
• Allowing you to control the direction of the
  object (direction of smash downwards and cross
  court)

20
LEVERS AT WORK
Short levers will allow for more accuracy and
speed Long levers have less speed but more force
to deliver more distance but less accuracy. Can
you name 3 other activities where long levers
play a part?
