About this study
Official title: Association of Hand and Forearm Anthropometrics With Grip Strength and Forehand Smash Quality Following Six-week Elastic Resistance Training in Collegiate Badminton Players
To determine the association of hand and forearm anthropometrics on grip strength and forehand smash quality of badminton players after six-weeks of elastic resistance training.
Read the detailed description
As literature suggests that anthropometrics such as BMI and height do affect many game outcomes but specific anthropometrics have not been considered before so it is included in this study. Similarly the affects of elastic resistance training for lower limb has been recorded while the literature lacks for upper limb.
- Being tested
- Elastic resistance training, Conventional Resistance Training
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Elastic resistance trainingOther
six-weeks elastic resistance training of upper limb. Three days per week. volume per session would be 10 repetitions and three sets. 2 minute rest interval between each set.
Conventional Resistance TrainingOther
players follow their routine exercise protocol
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Elastic resistance training | Experimental | elastic resistance training of upper limb Receives: Other: Elastic resistance training |
| Conventional resistance training | Other | players follow their routine exercise protocol Receives: Other: Conventional Resistance Training |

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Smash quality (Power) (time frame: BAseline to six-week). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Mar 2024.
