Synergistic effects of physical-mental mixed fatigue on badminton forehand smash performance

Physical-mental mixed fatigue significantly impairs badminton smash performance, particularly accuracy. The observed speed-accuracy trade-off highlights challenges in maintaining technical quality under fatigue. Future research should explore broader athlete populations and integrate neurophysiological measures, informing strategies for cognitive-physical training and fatigue management in elite badminton athletes. These findings suggest that coaches should integrate fatigue simulation and mitigation strategies into technical training to sustain performance under competitive conditions.
