Perfil funcional básico de los jóvenes del programa nacional de tecnificación en bádminton

The objective of this study was to analyze the functional profile of a group of young athletes, all belonging to the national badminton technification programme. There were evaluated 43 players of badminton (26 boys and 17 girls), of between 15 and 16 years, with a minimal experience of 3 years of competitive practice. Basic motor patterns were evaluated using the "Basic Functional Assessment battery" consisting of five Overhead Squat Test (OHS), Hurdle Step (HS), Forward Step Down (FSD), Shoulder Mobility (SM), and Active Straight Leg Raise (ASLR) functional tests. The results show that the group of boys has presented a higher incidence of total compensation than the group girls. The most repeated compensation in the whole sample has been cervical protraction, seen in the SM test.  Followed by loss of shoulder flexion, in the OHS test. No statistically significant differences were found between genera. Together as a badminton team without differentiation from gender obtained an average of 20,86 compensation out of 75. The compensation players have presented most was in the hip complex, in the shoulder complex, as well as a lack of core stability.
