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.
