Abstract
With the development of smart devices and network technology, sports data statistics systems such as smart bracelets have
also been widely studied, but there are fewer studies on racket sports data analysis systems such as badminton and other
sports with complex movements, so this study will take badminton as the object of study, choose the inertial sensor-based data
acquisition method to collect real-time data, choose a combination of sliding window and action window to carry out data
segmentation, and use the principal component analysis is used to achieve data dimensionality reduction, and finally a two-
layer classification algorithm based on support vector machine and adaptive boosting algorithm is established to study the six
basic swinging and attacking actions of badminton under two types of grips. The test results show that the average recognition
rate of the basic swinging movements under the two grips is 95.6 and 96.25%, respectively, and the overall recognition rate
of the research model is 95.93%, which is 16.36% higher than that of the unimproved SVM algorithm, and the recognition
rate of the research algorithm is the highest compared with many related algorithms. The experimental results show that the
research algorithm is able to complete the recognition of badminton swing attack action, and the model algorithm has a higher
recognition rate, which is of great value in the research of badminton attack action analysis.

1 Introduction
With the rapid development of big data on the Internet, sports
data in sports is more and more important to people, and
the application of smart devices for sports data collection
such as smart helmets and smart sports bracelets is more
and more widely used, but there are fewer studies related to
sports data analysis in racket sports such as badminton, so this
research will take badminton as the research object to carry
out the research on the badminton swing action recognition
and parsing system [1]. Aiming at the traditional image-based

action recognition method which will be affected by the back-
ground colour of the picture, the occlusion and the light, etc.,
and is not applicable to the more complicated badminton
sports [2], and the research selects the inertial sensor-based
action recognition method for the study. Due to the data col-
lected by inertial sensors have the influence of non-action
and multi-dimensional data, the research selects window
interception method to segment the data, selects Principal
Component Analysis (PCA) to reduce the dimensionality of
the data, and selects Adaptive Boosting (AdaBoosting) and
Supported Boosting (AdaBoost) to reduce the dimensional-
ity of the data, and selects AdaBoost and Supported Boosting
(AdaBoost) to reduce the dimension of the data. AdaBoost
(AdaBoost) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifi-
cation and recognition methods are used to identify and
analyse the common badminton attacking movements. The
research aims to enable athletes to more accurately grasp their
technical characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses through
efficient analysis of offensive movements, assist coaches in
real-time evaluation of athletes’ offensive movements, timely
detection and correction of errors, and develop targeted plans
to improve training effectiveness and competition success
