AN EVALUATION OF PHYSICAL AND TECHNICAL SKILL DEVELOPMENT AMONG 12–13-YEAR-OLD SHUTTLECOCK ATHLETES IN TAN BINH DISTRICT, HO CHI MINH CITY AFTER SIX MONTHS OF TRAINING

Nguyen The Luong

Abstract


This study aims to establish a reliable set of physical and technical evaluation criteria for 12–13-year-old shuttlecock athletes in Tan Binh District, Ho Chi Minh City, following a six-month structured training program. A combination of expert consultation, pedagogical testing, and statistical analysis was employed to identify and validate performance indicators. The findings revealed significant improvements in both physical and technical skills post-training, particularly in key areas such as flexibility, coordination, and targeted shuttlecock techniques. The validated assessment framework not only provides a scientific foundation for monitoring athlete development but also serves as a practical tool for coaches in designing data-driven training programs. This research contributes to enhancing the quality and effectiveness of youth shuttlecock training and talent identification at the district level.
