Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the time motion and notational
variables of21 point singles' badminton play and of the old scoring system (15 points for males and 11 for
females). Sixteen (8 males and 8 females) state-level badminton players with a mean age of 15.7 ± 1.2 years
participated in this study. They were initially tested using incremental treadmill test following Bruce protocol
to obtain individual maximum oxygen consumption (V02max) value. V02max of the male and female
participants were 47.1 ± 5.2 ml·kg-l·min-1 and 39.8 ± 6.2 ml·kg-l·min-1 respectively. On a separate day,
they played a simulated badminton match using 21 points (Trial I) and 15/11 points (Trial2) scoring system.
During the trials, a video camera was used for time~motion and notational analysis throughout the match. The
statistical analysis showed that total number of shots and rallies in a match were the only variables which
were significantly higher in the 15 points compared to 21 points in men's singles match play [331.2 ± 51.6 vs
463.5 ± 24.7 (total shots) and 70.2 ± 1.2 vs 97 ± 6.6 (total rallies) respectively]. Even though female players
had a greater point difference (I 0 points) in the new scoring system compared to the male counterparts, there
were no significant differences in all parameters measured. The patterns of play which were analyzed on the
basis of notational variables were also similar in both scoring systems. However, some differences in the time
motion and notational analysis were found between genders suggesting that there should be different training
regimens for men and women in their respective disciplines due to greater intensity, speed of play and the
longer rally lengths in men's singles. Therefore, it is recommended that players should impart more emphasis
in the development and improvement of the skills/techniques rather than making any drastic changes to the
training programme to develop their physical fitness to meet the demands of the match with the 21 point
scoring system.
