Assessing The Impact Of Six-Week Training On Countermovement (CMJ) Jump And Depth Jump (DJ) For Enhancing Vertical Jump In Badminton Players

Abstract

This research delves into the nuanced effects of countermovement jump (CMJ) training on the vertical jump ability of 30 male state-level badminton players. Through meticulous allocation, participants were assigned to one of three groups: CMJ, Depth Jump, or Control. Preceded by comprehensive pre-test assessments, a series of targeted interventions ensued, followed by post-test evaluations to gauge the efficacy of CMJ training. Employing rigorous statistical methodologies, including ANCOVA and pairwise comparisons, the study unveils compelling insights. Results underscore a remarkable enhancement in vertical jump proficiency among CMJ participants relative to their Depth Jump and Control counterparts, with statistically significant mean differences of 3.120 (p = .024) and 3.300 (p =.018), respectively. These findings not only highlight the pronounced efficacy of CMJ training but also underscore its potential as a cornerstone in the optimization of athletic performance within the realm of badminton. Such empirical evidence provides invaluable insights for coaches, athletes, and sports scientists, informing evidence-based strategies aimed at maximizing athletic potential and fostering competitive excellence.
