The Biomotor Characteristics and Vital Lung Capacity of Indonesian Elite Para-Badminton Athletes
Vol.19,No.2(2025)
This study aims to examine the biomotor characteristics and vital lung capacity of Indonesian elite para-badminton athletes. Methods: This study used an observational method with a quantitative descriptive design. The research subjects were Indonesian elite para badminton athletes with SL3, SL4, SU5, and SS6 standing player classifications. It involved 14 participants, 9 men and 5 women. Each subject performed three stages of tests. The first stage was anthropometric measurements. The second stage measured biomotor characteristics consisting of strength, power, flexibility, speed, and agility. The third step measured vital lung capacity. Results: The average value of biomotor characteristics on arm muscle strength, leg muscle strength, flexibility, and leg muscle power fell into normal categories, while speed and agility were classified as poor. The vital lung capacity of Indonesian elite badminton athletes had FVC and FEV1 below the normal average, and there was no significant difference between male and female athletes. Conclusion: This study revealed that the biomotor characteristics of male athletes were better in arm muscle strength, leg muscle strength, leg muscle power, and speed. Meanwhile, female athletes showed better results in flexibility, agility, and vital lung capacity.
