Abstract:

 


This
research was conducted to determine physical characteristics of physically
handicapped women badminton players and to examine the effects of badminton
sport on the physical characteristics of physically handicapped women. A total
of 43 women including physically handicapped badminton players (n= 20) and
control group consisting of physically handicapped (n= 23) participated
voluntarily to the researh. In accordance with the obstacle classification
determined by the International Physically Handicappeds Badminton Federation,
handicapped female badminton players were composed of two groups including
SL-3, SL-4, SU-5 (standing players, n= 11) and WH-1, WH-2 (wheelchair players,
n= 9). In control groups, disabled persons with inactive lifestyle (standing,
n= 13 and wheelchair, n= 10) were included in the study. In order to identify the physical characteristics
of the participants; stature, weight, BMI, upper extremity length
(arm-forearm-hand), circumference (arm-forearm), flexibility, balance, modified
sit-ups, modified abdominal endurance, hand grip strength, plate tapping and
modified push-up tests were made. SPSS 21.0 program was used in the analysis of
the data and differences between the groups were determined by Mann-Whitney U
test. Significancy level was considered as p <0.05. In
the result of the study, significant
differences were determined according to control groups In the parameters of
weight, BMI, balance, modified sit-ups, hand grip strength, plate tapping and
modified push-up parameters of female disabled badminton players playing
standing and in the parameters of weight, BMI, flexibility, modified sit-ups,
modified abdominal endurance, and plate tapping of wheelchair badminton
players. As a result, it is determined that badminton sports improve the
physical properties of physically handicapped women. In addition, it can be
said that badminton sport can have a positive contribution in
the process of raising the physical fitness levels of persons with disabilities
who are deprived of some physical capacity and adaptation to life conditions.
