Despite its well-known importance in sports, agility is ambiguously defined and lack of research. Shuttle Run (SR) challenges physical quickness and is commonly used to improve the on-court agility of badminton players. In contrast, Reactive Initiation Training (RIT) challenges perceptual quickness, merely demanding rapid initiation of step toward the direction of shuttlecock.
The current study explores to compare SR with RIT to determine the relative effectiveness of these training on improving the on-court agility of badminton. 20 novice badminton players were split in half to receive either RIT or SR on court for five days. Before and after training, the on-court agility test with and without anticipation was administered.
The results showed that both training methods shortened the mean running time, however, only RIT additionally reduced the initiation time and its proportion on those time-consuming positions when agility was assessed without anticipation.
Therefore, the agility training for novice badminton players should be more perceptually than physically challenging to avoid vain effort and unnecessary injuries.
尽管敏捷性在体育运动中的重要性广为人知，但它的定义尚不明确且研究不足。穿梭跑（SR）考验身体的反应速度，常用于提高羽毛球运动员的场上敏捷性。相比之下，反应启动训练（RIT）考验感知速度，仅要求朝着羽毛球的方向迅速启动步伐。
本研究旨在比较穿梭跑和反应启动训练，以确定这些训练对提高羽毛球场上敏捷性的相对有效性。20名新手羽毛球运动员被平均分为两组，分别在场上接受五天的反应启动训练或穿梭跑训练。在训练前后，进行了有无预判的场上敏捷性测试。
结果表明，两种训练方法均缩短了平均跑步时间，然而，只有反应启动训练在无预判评估敏捷性时，还额外缩短了启动时间及其在那些耗时位置上的占比。
因此，新手羽毛球运动员的敏捷性训练应更多地侧重于感知挑战而非身体挑战，以避免徒劳无功和不必要的受伤。
