Abstract

This chapter provides crucial information that was found to be relevant to the present study. Related information regarding the badminton games such as game’s law and regulations, player’s characteristic, player’s performance, racket design parameters and a brief history about badminton racket evolution were presented. Additionally, several previous studies on the analysis of the racket performance were reviewed in order to improve the understanding about design parameters in badminton racket.
