| Background: Previous studies have demonstrated the existence of relationship between muscle architecture and performance and how training could alter the architecture of muscles. Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine and compare the effects of step versus jump forward lunge training on muscle architecture among badminton players. Materials and Methods: Thirty recreationally active badminton players (mean age = 22.07 ± 1.39years old) volunteered to participate and were divided into three groups; i) jump forward lunge (JFL), ii) step forward lunge (SFL) and iii) control group (CG). Muscle thickness, pennation angle and fascicle length of vastuslateralis (VL), vastusmedialis (VM), rectus femoris (RF) and biceps femoris (BF) were tested pre- and post-training intervention. Results: Results showed both treatment groups (SFL and JFL) had their muscle architectures significantly changed in the post-test compared to the pre-test. JFL had significantly greater improvement in muscle thickness of VL, VM and RF and also pennation angle of VM compared to SFL. Conclusion: Overall, JFL was found to be superior in altering muscle architectures of the lower body compared to SFL training. |
