Abstract
The modern age of sports is the excellence, so in every sports perfection and purification of skill has got its immense importance. Biomechanics is an applied form of mechanics and consequently the method used to investigate. Kinematic aims to explain the mechanics of life. Kinematic and mechanical analyses have also generated other efforts at improving athletic performance in different games and sports; it is helpful to minimize sports injuries through both identifying dangerous practice and designing safer equipment and apparel. The purpose of this study was to investigate the smashing technique among young shuttlers with the help of selected kinematic variables. This study may help the coaches and trainees to understand the weakness or flaws or improvement in technique by watching the analyzed smashing videography in slow motion. Here in the study the forehand smashing technique (straight court) was analyzed with the help of selected kinematic variables. The video was shot in two planes in slow motion format at 240 fps.
Keywords: Kinematics, Center of gravity, forehand smash technique, Evaluation of technique, Balance, etc.
