Abstract
Badminton is a fast paced, high-intensity sport that requires quick
movements, rapid changes of direction, and explosive acceleration. Agility
and exercise on agility and reaction
time in badminton players. A Single group experimental pre-post study was
conducted with 20 male badminton players, aged 18-21 years were selected based
on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. The intervention lasted six
months, with 60- minute sessions conducted three times a week for four weeks.
Agility and reaction time were measured using the Illinois Agility Test and the
Ruler Drop Test. Results showed significant improvements in agility (IAT: p
< 0.05) and reaction time (RDT: p < 0.05) after the 4-week training
program. This study suggests that a 4-week combined footwork training and
reaction time exercise program can be an effective training strategy for
improving agility and reaction time in badminton players.
