SERVE
1. Skill No. 1: ____________________

During my serve, one thing I always ensure is that my feet are in the right position. I begin in
_____________________________________________________________________________________
a side-on stance, with my non-racket foot forward and my racket foot back. With this movement, my
_____________________________________________________________________________________
leg muscles and bones engage in an angular movement. Referring to Figure 11 and 12: Anterior and
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Posterior View of Major Skeletal Muscles from the Instructional Materials from PATHFIT I, I would say
_____________________________________________________________________________________
the muscles that are inferior (below) my axial body (middle part of my body) perform an angular
_____________________________________________________________________________________
movement, and the major muscles are as follows:
_____________________________________________________________________________________
• Rectus femoris
_____________________________________________________________________________________
• Tibialis anterior
_____________________________________________________________________________________
• Gastrocnemius (posterior and anterior)
_____________________________________________________________________________________
• Extensor digitorum longus
_____________________________________________________________________________________
• Semitendinosus
_____________________________________________________________________________________
• Calcaneal tendon and Calcaneus
_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
As one of my legs lands backward, these muscles, along with their associated bones, mainly
_____________________________________________________________________________________
the Femur, perform a hyperextension movement, while the other leg leans slightly forward, executing
_____________________________________________________________________________________
a flexion movement.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
As the racket contacts the shuttlecock, my fingers execute a gliding movement as my
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Phalanges move from a close grip and then release their grip as they release the shuttlecock.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Furthermore, these Phalanges in my hand, which holds the racket, perform an opposition movement,
_____________________________________________________________________________________
bringing my thumb and fingers together, allowing for precise gripping of the racket.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Moreover, as I serve, the bones in my arm, mainly the Scapula and Humerus, along with the
_____________________________________________________________________________________
muscles of my arm and shoulders (Deltoid, Biceps brachii, and Triceps brachii) that hold the racket,
_____________________________________________________________________________________
engage in a hyperextension movement. Meanwhile, the bone and muscles of my other arm (the
___________________________________________________________________________________
same), holding the shuttlecock, perform a flexion movement. Along with this is the movement of my
_____________________________________________________________________________________
head as I follow the trajectory of the shuttlecock; my Trapezius, Occipitofrontalis, and
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Sternocleidomastoid (all muscles from my nape), which are proximal to my cervical vertebrae,
_____________________________________________________________________________________
perform a hyperextension and extension movement.

SMASH
2. Skill No. 2: ____________________

_____________________________________________________________________________________
When engaging in badminton, the prospect of smashing becomes my most awaited moment as
_____________________________________________________________________________________
it not only showcases my strength but also underscores the precision of my eye and body coordination.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
In my cervical region, encompassing my neck and nape, key muscles like my Trapezius,
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Occipitofrontalis, and Sternocleidomastoid, along with my associated Cervical vertebrae, engage in a
_____________________________________________________________________________________
hyperextension. This occurs as I follow my shuttlecock's trajectory, extending beyond my typical
_____________________________________________________________________________________
anatomical position.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Whenever I do smashing, my most utilized muscles reside in my arm and shoulder, particularly
_____________________________________________________________________________________
my Deltoid, Biceps brachii, and Triceps brachii. This action involves a flexion movement, with my
_____________________________________________________________________________________
associated bones, such as my Humerus, participating in this dynamic motion.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Moreover, this also involves a seamless extension movement in my elbow as my shuttlecock is
_____________________________________________________________________________________
launched forward, highlighting a gliding movement. My Ulna and Radius, forming my elbow and lower
_____________________________________________________________________________________
arm, are integral to this motion, along with muscles like my Brachialis, Pronator teres, and
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Brachioradialis.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Furthermore, when I do a forceful smash, it incorporates a significant rotational movement in
_____________________________________________________________________________________
my torso and hips, generating a rotational force. This rotational movement involves my Hip bone,
_____________________________________________________________________________________
influencing my External Oblique muscles to synchronize with my hip movement, emphasizing the
_____________________________________________________________________________________
importance of rotational movement or my torso and hip rotation.
