Iino, Y., Wilkie, J. C., Fukashiro, S., Yoshioka, S., Vial, S. “…The badminton short serve is a highly precise task requiring accurate control of racquet face orientation, which directly influences shuttlecock trajectory and limits an opponent`s ability to attack. …”

Sato, Y., Wakui, K., Miyazaki, K., Ushiyama, Y. “…Notably, "hitting softly" proved more difficult than maximizing effort, reframing motor control as the regulation rather than the amplification of force. …”

Huang, H., Guo, Z., Zhao, M., Liu, M., Dai, J. “…Conclusion These findings suggest that experienced players achieve more efficient movement patterns through refined motor control and reduced excessive motion. This research provides valuable insights for coaching interventions and technique refinement in badminton training programs, particularly for developing players.…”

Liew, E., Wu, S. “…Moreover, agility encompasses both motor and cognitive abilities, including inhibitory control [2], which aids in maintaining focus on the assigned task and preventing impulsive actions that may potentially lead to errors. …”

Hitansha, Das, J., Aditi “…Background Biomechanical alterations, including changes in shoulder mechanics, lower limb function, and visual-motor coordination, play a crucial role in influencing both performance and injury risk among table tennis players. …”

Song, S.-H. “…The badminton backhand serve is a fundamental skill that determines the start of a rally, requiring precise timing and stable movement control. In particular, effective visual attention, known as Quiet Eye (QE), is likely to play a crucial role in movement planning and motor control. …”

Hides, J. A., Mendis, M. D., Leung, F., Grantham, B., Coombes, B. “…While we cannot comment on causation or direction, over co-contraction of trunk muscles has been shown in other studies to be associated with increased ground reaction forces on landing. Motor control training has been successfully used in other conditions to modify trunk muscle recruitment patterns and may therefore potentially represent a useful approach for badminton players.…”

González-Peño, A., Simón-Chico, L., Prieto, L., Franco, E. “…The teacher assessed students` practical competence level in both the experimental and control groups to verify homogeneity. Theoretical knowledge and badminton-specific motor skill tests were performed in both groups after the intervention. …”

van der Meer, B. R., van den Hoven, M. A. C., van der Kamp, J., Savelsbergh, G. J. P. “…Purpose This study aimed to examine the effect of self-controlled video feedback on the learning of tactical motor skills in tennis, and additionally, whether this was affected by learners` self-efficacy and self-regulative skills. …”

Starzak, M., Niznikowski, T., Biegajlo, M., Nogal, M., Arnista, W. L., Mastalerz, A., Starzak, A. “…The body of evidence has shown that the external focus of attention (EF) rather than the internal focus of attention (IF) enhances motor skill learning and performance. Within racket sports which require a high level of motor control, anticipation skills, and mental preparedness, effectively directing attention is essential to elicit improvements in athletic performance. …”

Delumeau, T. “…First experiment is the measure in controlled conditions. The system is used to measure a spinning ball mounted on a motor with constant speed (to ensure the measurement quality of the device). …”

Volk, N. R., Vuong, J. L., Ferrauti, A. “…Therefore, this study aimed to correlate sprint mechanical parameters (SMP) of a 20m LS test obtained with a motorized resistance device (MRD) to the current gender-specific tennis ranking position in tennis (RP). …”

Sato, B., Sato, S., Yamaguchi, H., Yasunaga, Y., Sato, M. “…There are no studies focusing on the voluntary control of the brain, spinal cord, motor nerves, musculoskeletal system, and service performance. …”

Grosdent, S., Colman, D., Demoulin, C., Kaux, J. F., Roussel, N., Vanderthommen, M. “…Lumbopelvic motor control in elite tennis players with and without a history of low back pain…”

Chapelle, L., Pion, J., Clarys, P., Rommers, N., D`Hondt, E. “…A principal component analysis was used to generate one anthropometric determinant (based on body height, body weight and maturity offset) and four physical performance determinants: speed and agility (based on 5 m sprint, 20 m sprint and 505 change of direction test); jumping power (based on standing broad jump and standing broad jump in series); motor coordination (based on balancing backwards and jumping sideways) and tennis ball control (based on a throw and catch test and hold tennis ball up test). …”

Herbaut, A., Valgalier, A., Foissac, M., McGann, J., Issartel, J. “…Underdevelopment of cognitive abilities in children, such as memory and attention, may make the use of verbal instructions difficult for learning new motor skills. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether visual and haptic cues which emphasize certain instructions facilitate skill acquisition in young tennis players. …”

Sinkovic, F., Novak, D., Foretic, N., Kim, J., Subramanian, S. V. “…The biological age was calculated and determined for all participants. 18 of the participants were randomly assigned to the control group, and 17 were assigned to the experimental group. …”

Waldzinska, E. “…The first group (n = 27) underwent physio training according to a yearly training program that was developed. The second group (control, n = 27) did not participate in the program and continued their training according to previous assumptions. …”

Reiner Volk, N., Vuong, J.-L., Ferrauti, A. “…Purpose: This study aimed to correlate sprint mechanical parameters (SMP) of a linear sprint (LS) and a tennis specific modified 505 (Tm505) change of direction (CoD) test obtained with a motorized resistance device (MRD) to the current tennis ranking position (RP). …”
