abstract = {The aim of the present study was to determine statistical differences in a set of
badminton competition matches in five different modalities with regard to competition
level (Group Phase vs. Eliminatory Phase). Data from 453 sets (125 in men’s singles; 108
sets in women’s singles; 77 sets in men’s doubles; 73 in women’s doubles and 70 in
mixed doubles) from the RIO 2016 Olympics Games were recorded and classified in two
groups of variables to analyze variables related to match (5) and set (15). A descriptive
analysis and univariate test (Mann–Whitney U) for non-parametric data were conducted.
The results show in men’s and women’s singles all the variables related to match were
higher in the Elimination Phase than in the Group Phase (p < 0.01). In Sets 1 and 3,
the longest set duration, rally and average rally were found in the Elimination Phase than
Group Stage (p < 0.05). In women’s singles, these differences were also recorded in
Set 2. For doubles, the results are more stable among groups. Men’s doubles had a
longer duration of the match and set (sets 1 and set 2) (p < 0.01), and also scored
highest for average rally strokes (sets 1 3) (p < 0.05) and shuttles used in the Elimination
Phase vs. the Group Phase along the match (p < 0.01). In women’s doubles, more
shuttles were used in a match in the Elimination than in the Group Phase. Moreover, the
same results are established for Set 2, including for average rally. Mixed doubles saw no
match going to three sets. However, the greatest differences showed a longer rally and
average rally being registered in the Elimination than in the Group Phase. In conclusion,
the timing factors of the badminton singles and doubles games were different in the
Elimination and Group Phases. This information may help players and coaches prepare
and administer different types of workouts or, more specifically, competition schedules
adapted to the characteristics of modern badminton.},
