| Technique and tactics are purposeful and organized combinations of play adopted by the player to achieve a winning game.Whether in badminton singles,doubles or mixed doubles,technique and tactics are important scoring tools for the player.A combination of technical and tactical play that is predominantly in the front court enhances scoring efficiency and reduces unnecessary physical exertion.Therefore,the study of the relationship between the use of front court techniques and tactics and competitive winning in men’s singles is of great value in enriching the theory of men’s singles training and improving the competitive level of badminton in China.This paper uses literature,expert interviews,mathematical and statistical methods,comparative analysis and video observation to study the characteristics of the front court techniques and tactics used by the six athletes in the men’s singles semi-finals and finals of the Rio and Tokyo Olympic Games.Through the analysis of the comparison of the technical use of the top 4 players,the comparison of the technical use of points scored and lost and the frequency of the use of the four types of front court technical and tactical play,the impact on the winning of the six athletes in the two Olympic Games,to clarify the trend of technical and tactical use of the current world men’s singles athletes;to explore the relationship between the young group of Chinese men’s singles athletes and the world’s best men’s singles athletes,technical and tactical performance ability and changes in competitive strength.The main findings of the study are as follows:1.The results of the 8 games of the semi-finals and finals of the Rio and Tokyo Olympic Games show that the use of front court techniques is significantly higher than that of mid-court and back court techniques.For the six players in the eight games of the two Olympic Games,the front court techniques accounted for the highest percentage of rubbing and picking,the middle court techniques accounted for the highest percentage of blocking,and the back court techniques of hanging,killing and high ball were used more.2.A chi-square test of the scores for the front,mid and back court techniques at the Rio and Tokyo Olympics showed that the Rio and Tokyo Olympics chi-square was(19.678~a,15.455~a)with a p-value<0.000 for a significant difference.The two Olympic Games had the highest percentage of front court skills scored,followed by back court skills,and the lowest percentage of mid court skills scored.This proves that the top four athletes in the men’s singles at the Rio and Tokyo Olympics had a larger share of the full court technique.The figures also confirm that the front court technique has a significant effect on the winning of matches in the techniques used.3.The results of the eight matches at the Rio and Tokyo Olympic Games showed that the frequency and scoring rate of the four front court tactical combinations had a greater impact on the men’s singles competition.Of the four front court tactics,the men’s singles players used a higher percentage of net control and downward pressure to control the net,scoring 73.62%of the forecourt tactics used.From the data,for Chen Long and Ansailong,the two Olympic champions in Rio and Tokyo,the two technical tactics of rubbing and releasing/back-rolling to create attacking play and killing the ball down to control the net were used at the highest rate and score rate.4.The difference between Rio and Tokyo Olympics in the use of forecourt techniques and tactics was not significant in the use of front,middle and backcourt techniques;the results of the chi-square test(p<0.000)for the scores of front,middle and backcourt techniques were all significantly different.Where the differences lie is in the different levels of competition presented by the Rio and Tokyo Olympic athletes at different times,as analysed by match video,total shots,match length,stroke form and tempo speed.It can be seen that during the Tokyo Olympics,badminton men’s singles players tended to be more"fast"based on the style of play,requiring more detailed handling of ball drop,angle and other aspects. |
