Research on mechanism and prevention path of athletes’ lower limb injury in badminton teaching and training
Abstract
Lower limb injuries are common among athletes, particularly during badminton training and competition, and are often caused by biomechanical imbalances, repeated strain, and ineffective training techniques. The basic mechanisms of lower limb injuries are examined in this study, along with preventive measures to improve athlete safety in sports instruction and practice. In addition, 275 badminton players participated in the study, and information was gathered via surveys and injury reports. Key injury patterns by gender, weight category, and injury type were identified by frequency analysis and cross-tabulation; Statistical significance was assessed using chi-square testing. Based on the results, the most frequent injuries are to the thighs and ankles, with those injuries increasing mostly throughout non-contact exercises similar to warm-ups and footwork drills. A thigh injury was dominant in lightweight competitions, as knee injuries were more frequent in men’s heavyweight competitions. Based on statistical analysis, ankle injuries were much more common in female athletes across all weight classes, and they were regularly caused by tiredness from repetitive motions and insufficient warm-ups. The distribution of the injuries among badminton players was as follows: warm-ups caused 80 injuries (29.1%), footwork drills caused 90 injuries (32.7%), strength training caused 40 injuries (14.5%), and miscellaneous activities caused 65 injuries (23.6%). Ankle and thigh injuries during warm-ups, ankle and knee injuries during footwork drills, and knee and thigh injuries during strength training were the most frequent injuries. According to our study, a lack of protective workouts, developed fatigue, and poor movement execution are all main causes of lower limb injuries. In light of these findings, we suggest particular preventive measures, such as modified warm-up routines, biomechanical evaluations, and recuperation management strategies. Athlete performance can be enhanced and injury risks reduced by integrating these preventive pathways into sports teaching and training.
