Trying to use temporal and kinematic parameters for the classification in wheelchair badminton
Thus, the results of this study indicate a longer braking time for WH1 athletes compared to WH2, along with lower overall performance. The clusters results could suggest a potential evolution of the current classification towards three distinct classes of wheelchair badminton players. However, these findings should be interpreted with caution, given that the included performance parameters can be influenced by numerous factors, potentially undermining the robustness of the clustering methodology employed. This study highlights the need to strengthen the current classification process in wheelchair badminton.
