Comparison and Research on Perception Test of Different Badminton Footwear

Objective:To assess the comfort of sport footwear with General Fit Ballot and Dynamic Ballot.Method:Taking 16 elite badminton male athletes from Shanghai University of Sport as research subjects, the field test was used to explore the differences between Shoe A and Shoe B with measurement scale.The scale includes General Fit Ballot and Dynamic Ballot.The former includes the variables:toe box height, toe box width, ball girth, waist/instep, heel and length;the latter includes underfoot traction, forefoot flexibility, heel cushioning, heel responsiveness, heel stability, heel-to-toe transition, forefoot cushioning and overall liking.Results:All the variables of shoe A are not so good except for the length from the General Fit Ballot;The heel cushioning, heel-to-toe transition, forefoot cushioning, underfoot traction and forefoot flexibility of shoe A should be made better from the liking of Dynamic Ballot;The underfoot traction, and forefoot flexibility are not enough to help to improve the sport performance of badminton.Conclusion:The results showed that the measurement scale is good for the evaluation of comfort, fit and dynamic function of badminton footwear.
