From a coaching perspective this information allows a player to reach optimal performance in a step by step guide explaining what techniques to use, how and why to use them. These phases will help a coach or player develop teaching cues in order to develop the skill of the badminton smash at a high performance level. This information could be used in sporting clubs to help players adapt their technique and develop a greater understanding of the optimal technique of a badminton smash. Likewise, it would be suitable to use in a high school classroom setting to improve students overall performance and to develop a greater understanding of the sport. A teacher could use this to educate their students on what biomechanical principles entail and examples of them through badminton e.g. how the centre of mass and centre of gravity is adapted and aligned accordingly amongst different phases in the badminton smash. As well as this the information could be adapted when teaching or learning about the overarm throw, cricket bowling e.g. spin bowling, baseball pitching and lacrosse, as they all use similar movements and kinetic chain patterns. More similarly, the skill phases could be adapted into any other racket sports e.g. tennis, squash, table tennis and speedminton. These movements all use throw-like kinetic chain movements and movements such as the tennis smash can be more easily adapted from the badminton smash skill phases. Overall, you can see that this information can be used for a variety of purposes and can be adapted for many sports and movement sequences.
