Badminton is a highly demanding sport characterized by intermittent efforts with energy being provided by both the aerobic and anaerobic systems. To date, no incremental badminton field test has been developed that can be easily used by badminton coaches that requires accessible material for anyone.
The purpose of this study was to develop a practical and reliable easy-to use intermittent endurance badminton test for estimating maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max).
Thirty six Spanish badminton players (age: 24.1±10.3 years) performed, on different days of the same week, four incremental protocols to exhaustion in randomized order: a treadmill incremental test, a Yo-Yo intermittent recovery level 1 test (Yo-Yo IR1) and twice the Abian intermittent recovery badminton test (AIR-BT). Oxygen uptake was determined with a breath-by-breath gas analyzer during the incremental treadmill test, and performance in the Yo-yo IR1 and AIR-BT was recorded.
Significant correlations (p<0.001) for Pearson's product moment coefficient were found between the performance in the AIR-BT and the two non-specific incremental tests (VO2max in the Treadmill Test: r = 0.87, distance in the Yo-Yo IR1: r = 0.86). The regression equation to calculate the VO2max from the AIR-BT time [VO2max = 0.023*(AIR-BT time in seconds)+31.334] showed an adjusted R2 of 0.76 and a SEE of 3.34 ml·kg-1·min-1. There was no significant difference between VO2max obtained by the incremental treadmill test and VO2max calculated using the regression equation (p = 0.644). A paired t-test reported no significant differences between day 1 and day 2 in the AIR-BT time (p = 0.753), the Pearson correlation coefficient between both days was: r = 0.88 (p<0.001) and the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.875.
The AIR-BT is a valid and reliable on-court test for assessing VO2max in badminton players and may be utilized by coaches and physical trainers for cross-sectional comparison of players and for evaluation of longitudinal changes.
羽毛球是一项高要求的运动，其特点是间歇性的努力，能量由有氧和无氧系统提供。迄今为止，还没有开发出一种递增式的羽毛球现场测试，这种测试可以由羽毛球教练轻松使用，而且任何人都可以使用。
本研究的目的是开发一种实用且可靠的、易于使用的间歇性耐力羽毛球测试，以估计最大摄氧量（VO2max）。
36 名西班牙羽毛球运动员（年龄：24.1±10.3 岁）在同一周的不同日子里，以随机顺序进行了四次递增至力竭的协议：跑步机递增测试、Yo-Yo 间歇性恢复 1 级测试（Yo-Yo IR1）和两次 Abian 间歇性恢复羽毛球测试（AIR-BT）。在递增式跑步机测试中，通过逐口气的气体分析仪来确定摄氧量，同时记录 Yo-yo IR1 和 AIR-BT 的表现。
Pearson 乘积矩系数的显著相关性（p<0.001）被发现，AIR-BT 的表现与两种非特异性递增测试之间存在相关性（跑步机测试中的 VO2max：r = 0.87，Yo-Yo IR1 的距离：r = 0.86）。从 AIR-BT 时间计算 VO2max 的回归方程[VO2max = 0.023*（AIR-BT 时间以秒为单位）+31.334]显示调整后的 R2 为 0.76，SEE 为 3.34 ml·kg-1·min-1。递增式跑步机测试获得的 VO2max 与回归方程计算得出的 VO2max 之间没有显著差异（p = 0.644）。配对 t 检验报告称，AIR-BT 时间在第一天和第二天之间没有显著差异（p = 0.753），两天之间的 Pearson 相关系数为：r = 0.88（p<0.001），组内相关系数为 0.875。
AIR-BT 是一种有效的、可靠的球场内测试，可用于评估羽毛球运动员的 VO2max，教练和体能训练员可以利用它进行球员的横断面比较和评估纵向变化。
