Effects of physical training programs on healthy badminton players' performance: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in BMC sports science, medicine & rehabilitation, 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
RESEARCH
backgroundDespite the abundance of common physical training programs designed for healthy badminton players, there is a significant gap in comprehensive studies evaluating their impact on player performance. RESEARCH PURPOSE: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the effects of common physical training programs on performance outcomes of healthy badminton players.
methodTo address this gap, a meticulous search was conducted across several databases, including Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and EBSCOhost, up until January 2024, leading to the selection of relevant articles for a systematic review and subsequent meta-analysis using Review Manager (version 6) software.
resultThe review incorporated 370 participants from 15 studies, with 12 studies qualifying for the meta-analysis. These studies commonly implemented exercise interventions ranging from 4 to 10 weeks, with participants undergoing 2 to 3 sessions weekly. The meta-analysis results showed that VO2max data indicated significantly improved performance in the experimental group (EG) (SMDb = 1.27; P = 0.0001; I
conclusionThis review found that high-intensity interval training and sprint interval training both improve VO2max in badminton players. High-intensity interval training, core training, strength and resistance training, and Pilates all enhance agility. Core training and lower limb resistance training help improve power. Balance training, core training, Pilates, and balance enhancement exercises contribute to better balance. Additionally, balance training improves the reactive strength index, while core training enhances smash performance. The meta-analysis indicates that current studies are more effective than traditional exercises in improving VO2max, agility, and balance. Nonetheless, further high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to more accurately identify effective training interventions for improving performance in healthy badminton players.
