dc.description.abstract | The main objective of this research was to establish the evolution of badminton players’ ages in the modalities of men’s, women’s and mixed doubles in the top-100 of the World Ranking (WR) from 1994 to 2020. Data were obtained from the Badminton World Federation website (7200 entries: 3304 players) from 1994 to 2020. The highest-ranking position and the mean age of the top-100 WR badminton players were analyzed for each modality. In the men’s doubles (MD) and mixed doubles (XD) modalities, a progressive increase of mean age was observed from 1994 to 2020 (MD: 1994 = 23.91 ± 3.93 years vs. 2020 = 25.55 ± 4.40 years; p < 0.001 and XD: 1994 = 24.06 ± 3.99 years vs. 2020 = 25.34 ± 4.77 years; p = 0.004). In contrast, the women’s doubles modality did not present any change in mean age from 1994 to 2020 (~24 years; p = 0.317). In addition, women’s doubles players reached their highest ranking at an earlier age (~23 years) than men’s and mixed doubles players (~25 years). In conclusion, as often happens in other sports, elite women badminton doubles players are younger and reach their peak performance at a younger age than their male counterparts. These data could help coaches, trainers and selectors to plan the sports career of their elite players. | spa |
