Abstract
In recent years, an increasing number of enthusiasts have embarked on badminton, particularly adolescents who have chosen as a career path in hopes of achieving excellent results on the court. However, due to variations in badminton coaching standards and differing instructional philosophies, many adolescent badminton players are repeatedly plagued by various injuries throughout their careers, with lower limb injuries being particularly prevalent (accounting for approximately 58% of all injuries). Among these lower limb injuries, more than half involve the ankles and knees, significantly impacting their careers. This paper focuses on common knee injuries experienced by adolescent badminton players, such as anterior cruciate ligament tears, meniscus injuries, and muscle strains. To effectively prevent these injuries, a series of scientific and systematic training recommendations are proposed. These include functional training of the muscles surrounding the knee joint, such as single-leg Romanian deadlifts and Bulgarian split squats, which help improve knee stability and thereby reduce the risk of injury. Additionally, functional training of the core deep stabilizing muscles, such as diaphragmatic breathing exercises and the Dead Bug exercise based on diaphragmatic breathing, is recommended to enhance the strength and stability of the core musculature and improve body balance, thereby lowering the incidence of knee injuries and achieving preventive effects. The aim is to provide effective preventive measures for knee injuries to adolescent badminton players, reducing their risk of injury and promoting the healthy development of the careers, provide a useful reference for scientific training and rehabilitation in badminton.
