Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare shoulder and elbow coordination patterns in the transverse plane between trained and untrained people during badminton forehand drives. The coupling angles and phases of the shoulder and elbow in the transverse plane from peak shoulder external rotation to impact time were analyzed using vector coding. Due to the limited sample size, we reported results from descriptive analyses instead of statistical analyses. We found that the trained people exhibited a tendency of larger range of shoulder and elbow motions and more in-phase coordination patterns with shoulder internal rotation dominancy in the transverse plane than the untrained people during badminton forehand drives. Our results can provide coaches with insights into the importance of multi-joint coordination and offer background knowledge about coupling angles and phases.
