Association of Anthropometrics With Grip Strength and Smash Quality Post Six Week Elastic Resistance Training

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.

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.

Inclusion Criteria:

• collegiate players of Badminton.
• Players attending at least two training sessions per week for the past one month

Exclusion Criteria:

• Players having strain or sprain of upper or lower limb within the last months
• Payers having any cardiovascular, neuromusculoskeletal or other systematic pathology.
