Effects of eight-week resistance and complex training on the biomechanical characteristics of lower limbs during badminton backhand forward lunge.

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effects of an 8-week resistance training (RT) or complex training (CT) program on lower limb biomechanical characteristics during the backhand forward lunge in male amateur badminton players.

Methods: Twenty male amateur badminton players were randomly assigned to either a complex training group or a resistance training group for an eight-week intervention. Lower limb kinematics and dynamics were captured before and after the intervention using an eight-camera Vicon motion system and two AMTI force plates.
