Abstract

This study identified the contribution of lower and upper extremity biomechanical parameters towards high velocity and accuracy of the shuttle in forehand straight jumping smash. A total of 19 Malaysian elite badminton players performed a forehand straight jumping smash to a designated area at the opposite area of the court.Multiple corelation test was performed to determine the contributions of each variable in all three phases.Maximal Ground Reaction force (r=.548,p< 0.05), Maximum jump height (r=.0505, r
