However, the changes in these variables have not been measured during abadminton competition. The aim of the present study was to analyse the effects of playingtwo badminton matches on the same day on the shoulder profile (i.e., ROM and strength) ofyoung badminton players. Thirty-one elite junior badminton players (age 16.6 ± 1.0 years,body mass 63.9 ± 6.1 kg, height 174.8 ± 6.1 cm), including 19 boys and 12 girls, underwenttwo experimental trials before and after a competition that included two competitivebadminton matches during an international tournament. Results showed significantdecreases (p < 0.05) in the shoulder ROM (i.e., dominant and non-dominant ER ROMs aswell as in the dominant and non-dominant total arc of motion (TAM)) in boys, while ingirls, significant increases were found in the non-dominant ER absolute strength, withsignificant decreases were found in the non-dominant ER ROM and the non-dominantTAM. These data indicate that playing two badminton matches on the same day led togender-specific changes on the shoulder profile (i.e., ROM and strength) of young elitebadminton players, with more impact on the shoulder profile of boys compared to girls.
