Effects of resistance training on performance in competitive badminton players: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Frontiers in physiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Resistance training (RT) is critical in enhancing athletic performance by improving physical fitness and sport-specific skills. However, there is a lack of systematic evaluation regarding the effects of RT on competitive athletes. This systematic review aims to explore the evidence of the impact of RT on physical performance and badminton-specific skills among competitive badminton players, providing actionable insights for optimizing training. Methods: Five databases-Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, EBSCOhost, and SPORTDiscus-were systematically searched to identify studies investigating RT interventions for competitive badminton players. The search used a combination of keywords related to RT, physical fitness, and badminton. This review adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA 2020) guidelines. Results: RT interventions significantly improved power (e.g., countermovement jump, squat jump), speed (e.g., shuttle run), agility (e.g., directional changes), and endurance in competitive badminton players. Lower-limb RT demonstrated the strongest effects on jump performance, while core strength training enhanced technical stability and power transfer within kinetic chains. Upper-limb RT showed promising results in improving smash velocity and accuracy, though the evidence remains limited. Long-term interventions (>8 weeks) were more effective than shorter programs. Effective training modalities included plyometrics, eccentric overload, and functional core exercises. Conclusion: RT programs tailored to the physical and technical demands of badminton can significantly enhance athletic performance, particularly in high-intensity scenarios like offensive strokes and rapid directional changes. These findings highlight the importance of integrating RT into badminton-specific training regimens. Future research should focus on long-term RT effects and its impact on advanced skill execution.
