1. The composition of badminton footwork
Badminton footwork is a method of moving on the court, which consists of stepping, stepping, crossing, stepping and jumping. Each group of footwork generally starts from the center of the field.
1. 1. Step by step
When the right (left) foot takes a step forward (backward), the heel advances and then takes another step in the same direction with the same foot. This is a step. This kind of footwork is agile and dexterous, which can not only make the moving steps more economical, but also keep the center of gravity stable and help to complete the hitting action. Step filling is usually used to adjust the step size.
1.2. When the right foot moves forward (or backward), the left foot immediately steps on the right heel, and then the right foot moves forward (backward), which is called synchronization. This kind of footwork is mostly used for surfing the internet, catching and killing the ball, forehand withdrawal and slapping.
1.3. Cross step
The left foot and the right foot alternately move forward, sideways or backward to form a cross step. This kind of footwork has a long stride and the center of gravity is relatively stable during exercise. The forward stride passes in front of the other foot, and the backward stride passes behind the other foot. Take a step forward and hit the backcourt more often.
1.4. Small steps forward
What moves in a small cross step is called a small step. Because of its small stride and fast step frequency, it is generally used at the beginning of starting or reversing.
1.5. Step by step.
Take one foot as the axis and push the other foot backward or forward.
1.6. Step by step
In the last step, while the left foot pushes back hard, the right foot takes a big step in the direction of the ball, which is called pedaling stride. It is mostly used for hitting the ball online, and it is also often used when the ball is moved at the corners of the bottom line in the backcourt.
1.7. Rattan cloth
The footwork of taking off and hitting the ball in the air is jumping It can be divided into two types: one is to take off with the front foot (or feet) to save or surprise kill when catching the ball on the internet or moving to both sides; The other is to kill the ball when the opponent's right foot (or both feet) jumps to the highest point and hits the high ball. To use this footwork, you need good coordination and strong bouncing ability. After hitting the ball, you should control your body's center of gravity in order to hit the ball consistently in the next stroke.
2. The structure of badminton footwork
The structure of badminton footwork is divided into four parts: starting, moving, hitting the ball in place and reversing.
2. 1. Go
As long as you respond to the incoming ball, that is, from the position where you are ready to catch the ball to the position where you hit the ball, it is called starting. A game has to start hundreds of times (basically every return). If you want to start quickly, you must be quick-thinking, accurate in judgment and correct in preparation posture. The preparation posture can be divided into two types. One is the receiving posture (you must stand well according to the rules), with your left foot in front and your right foot behind, facing the net sideways and the center of gravity on your front foot. Right foot off the ground, knees slightly bent, abdomen with chest, to relax, put the racket on your chest. The other is the preparation posture of both sides in the process of doubles, which should be that the right foot is in front, the left foot is behind, the forefoot touches the ground, the heel is raised, the knee joint is slightly flexed, the upper body leans forward slightly, the center of gravity falls on the parts of the two feet, and the racket is held in front of the abdomen. The whole posture should be coordinated and relaxed, and the starting posture of one-click printing should be maintained.
2.2. Move
It mainly refers to the moving method from the center position to the hitting position after starting. The basic footwork of movement includes stepping, crossing, breaking, merging, pedaling, pedaling and jumping. By using these methods, the combined footwork of hitting the ball from the center position to the court regardless of the position-backward footwork, two-sided moving footwork and online footwork is formed. The number of steps from the center position to the hitting point is generally one, two or three steps, which must be determined according to the distance of the ball from the body at that time. The factors that affect the moving speed are the number of steps, the speed of step frequency and the size of stride! The following will introduce you to the basic footwork of various movements in order to use them flexibly on the court.
2.3. Match the ball in place
Movement is an end in itself, and it serves to hit the ball. The so-called "footwork passing" means that the player's home stands in the most favorable position that is most suitable for this kind of hitting, if it does not occupy the most ideal position. Finally (before hitting the ball), small steps need to be adjusted to make the hitting action coordinated.
2.4. Reverse (Return to the Intermediate Position)
Try to keep your balance after hitting the ball (or regain your balance as soon as possible) and move to a central position immediately, so that you can be ready to meet the next ball in the central position. This is called rebounding. Beginners often lack the consciousness of "returning to the center" and stop after playing, which must be corrected. Of course, with the accumulation of competition experience, athletes. I gradually realized that it is not necessary to return to the center every time I hit the ball, but to choose the most suitable return route and position to pass the ball back to the opponent according to the actual situation at that time and the technical and tactical characteristics of both sides.
3. Classification description of badminton footwork
Badminton footwork is divided into net footwork, backward footwork and bilateral moving footwork. According to the center position of the player on the court and the distance of the ball, one-step hitting or two-step or three-step moving hitting can be adopted. For a right-handed player, the last step when hitting the ball in place is usually that the right foot is in front and the left foot is always close to the center, as explained below.
3. 1. Online footwork
Online footwork is a kind of footwork to complete online rubbing, pushing, hooking, hiding and picking, including online stepping, online stepping with a belt, online stepping with a belt before stepping, online stepping with a belt after stepping, and online jumping with a belt. No matter which footwork is used to hit the ball and get caught, the standing position and preparation posture before hitting the ball and getting caught are basically the same. That is, two feet stand about shoulder width, generally the right foot is behind the left foot, the knee is slightly flexed, the forefoot of both feet touches the ground, and the heel is slightly raised. The upper body leans forward slightly, holding the racket in front of him, and the golden god focuses on watching the other side come to the ball.
3. 1. 1. Set foot on the Internet
1) Two-step stride on the net: the left foot first takes a step in the direction of the ball, and then the right foot takes a big step forward to hit the ball in place.
2) Three-step stride online footwork: first, take a small step in the direction of the ball with your right foot, then take a second step forward with your left foot, and finally take a big step with your right foot to hit the ball.
3. 1.2. Step by step online footwork
Take a step towards the ball with your right foot, and then take a small step on the mat. At the same time, the right foot is raised, and the left pedal takes a big step to hit the ball in place.
3. 1.3. Step forward and step on the Internet.
The right foot takes a small step forward, then the right foot is lifted, and the left pedal takes a big step to hit the ball in place.
3. 1.4. Online back horizontal step plus pedaling step.
First, the right foot takes a small step forward, and then the left foot takes a second small step behind the right foot. Finally, lift your right foot and take a big step by using the pedal force of your left foot to hit the ball in place.
3. 1.5. Step by step on the Internet
Stand a little forward. When judging that the opponent is going to hit the ball repeatedly in front of the net, jump to the net quickly with both feet and hit the ball with pitching technique. Attention should be paid to prevent the foul of touching the net or crossing the center line due to excessive forward momentum.
3. 1.6. Matters needing attention in online footwork
1) pay attention to the online footwork, so as not to have too much forward momentum, so as not to lose balance.
2) When hitting the ball in place, the toes of the front foot should face the sideline, not the inside, which is conducive to sliding forward with the forward momentum.
3) After hitting the ball, you should return to the center position by retreating, stepping or striding as soon as possible.
3.2. Take a step back
Back-leaning footwork is a footwork to return the ball by hitting the high ball, dropping the ball, killing the ball and drawing the ball in the backcourt. Including forehand backward footwork, overhead backward footwork, backhand backward footwork, forehand backward step plus jump, overhead sideways step plus jump. No matter which footwork is used to hit the ball backwards, the position and preparation potential before retreating are the same as those in front of the net.
3.2. 1. Forehand backward footwork
Forehand backward footwork, you can use step backward footwork and cross backward footwork, as well as step forward and jump backward footwork.
1) Take a step back: Take a step back to the right with your right foot to drive your hips to turn back to the right. Then, take a step closer to your right foot with your left foot, and then turn your right foot back to the correct position. Your left foot will follow a small step, making it a preparation for hitting the ball sideways against the net.
2) Step-by-step backward footwork: the right foot takes a step back to the right and drives the hip to turn back to the right, and then the left foot takes a step back from the back of the right foot, which becomes the preparation action of hitting the ball against the net with the left foot in front and the right foot in the back.
3) Step-by-step back footwork: It is the same as the first and second step back footwork of step-by-step back footwork. The third step is to hit the ball in place with both feet on the side, and then land with both feet.
3.2.2. Head-back gait
Head-hind-foot method can use step footwork and stride footwork, as well as head-side footwork and jumping footwork.
1) Head-stepping backward footwork: while the hip joint and upper body are rapidly rotating to the right and rear, the right foot leans back, then the left foot moves forward to the right foot, the right foot moves back to the right position, and the left foot follows a small step, which becomes the preparation action of hitting the ball against the net with the left foot in front and the right foot in the back.
2) It is illegal to retreat over the top of the head: the hip joint and upper body quickly rotate to the right and rear, the right foot retreats, and then the left foot passes backwards from the back of the right foot, and then the right foot moves back to the correct position, and the left foot follows a small step, which becomes a preparatory action for hitting the ball sideways against the net.
3) Head-side step and back-jumping footwork: This is a back-stepping method of quick assault attack. The hip joint and upper body rotate rapidly to the right and rear, the right foot steps backwards, then the right foot jumps backwards, the upper back is tilted at a large angle, and the ball is hit in the air. At this time, the left foot makes a cross movement in the air before landing, and the upper body retracts so that the center of gravity falls on the right foot when landing, which is convenient for the left foot to move backwards quickly. This kind of footwork should pay attention to the following important links: first, the upper body and buttocks rotate rapidly, and the right foot becomes backward to the posterolateral position of the left foot, which is the first link. Secondly, the jumping direction should be left and backward, so that the upper body can lean back. The left foot should cross and retreat in the air, and the landing point of the left foot exceeds the body center of gravity. The upper body should be abdomen-filled, the center of gravity should be quickly restored to the right foot, and the left foot can be quickly moved backward.
3.2.3. Backhand step
1) Two-step backhand backswing is illegal: the left foot takes one step to the left and then the upper body turns left, the right foot takes one step to the left and then hits the ball with his back to the net, or the right foot takes one step to the left and then hits the ball sideways.
2) Three-step backhand backward footwork: the right foot first takes a step toward the left foot (or steps backward), and then the left foot takes a step backward to the left. At this time, the upper body turns left, and the right foot takes a big step back to hit the ball in place in the form of a net return.
3.3. Bilateral footwork
Double-sided moving footwork is a footwork used to complete the return of the midfield ball, such as catching the kill ball and catching the opponent's flat shot. Its standing posture and pre-motion preparation posture are basically the same as online gait. Bilateral moving gait includes left moving gait, right moving gait and left and right kicking gait.
3.3. 1. Left-shift footwork
1) One-step step: adjust the body center of gravity to the right foot, pedal the ground with the inside of the right palm, and hit the ball with the left foot striding to the left with the rotation of the hip joint.
2) Two-step stride: When the incoming ball is far away from the body, the left foot first moves a small step to the left, and then the right foot takes a big step to the left to form a back net and hit the ball in place.
3) Left jump: If the opponent's incoming ball is flat, you can move one step to the left with your left foot, and then jump up and pounce.
3.3.2. Walking gait with right hand
1) One-step stride method: When the incoming ball approaches the body, the center of gravity of the body is adjusted to the left foot, and the left foot is pushed to the ground with the rotation of the hip joint, and the right foot strides to the right to hit the ball in place.
2) Two-step stepping method: When the incoming ball is far away from the body, first move one step to the right under the left foot, and then take a big step to the right under the right foot to hit the ball in place.
3) Jump on the right: If the opponent's incoming ball is flat, you can move to the right with your right foot first, and then jump up and pounce. The above is the most basic movements and running footwork of badminton. Beginners must carry out the necessary training according to this mode, so as to practice the basic skills of badminton and lay a solid foundation for the improvement of technical level.
