A master’s thesis by student Enas Khalid Rasheed, titled “An Analytical Study of Some Physiological Variables and Offensive Skill Endurance During the Specialized Preparation Phase for Advanced Players of the National Badminton Team”, was discussed at the College of Physical Education and Sport Sciences, University of Baghdad.
The examination committee consisted of:
•Prof. Dr. Osama Ahmed Hussein – Chair
•Prof. Dr. Luay Hassan Shakir – Member
•Asst. Prof. Dr. Hasanein Salah Wahab – Member
•Prof. Dr. Mohammed Jawad Kadhim – Member and Supervisor
The study aimed to design tests to assess offensive skill endurance in advanced badminton players, identify values of key physiological variables, and measure how the specialized preparation phase affects those variables and offensive skill endurance. The researcher employed a descriptive approach, as it closely aligns with the nature of the research problem.
Results showed a notable improvement in both physical and skill performance after the specialized training phase, highlighting the effectiveness of the implemented training program. The improvement emphasized the importance of training methods that simulate real-game conditions, such as interactive drills and competition-based scenarios.
Based on the findings, the researcher recommends incorporating anaerobic endurance training methods, such as High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), to increase the body’s ability to tolerate lactic acid buildup and delay muscle fatigue during intense exertion.
This research supports the Sustainable Development Goals: Good Health and Well-being, Quality Education, and Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure.
