INTRODUCTION: Agility is an important quality in many sports played on court or field. In badminton, agility indicates the ability to move to the approaching shuttle with a correct footwork. There are several agility performance tests that have been developed according to the nature of the different sports namely rugby, netball and football which focuses on the change of direction speed and perceptual/decision making [1-3]. However, specific agility testing for badminton currently available only focuses on the change of direction speed with all tests forgoing the perceptual/decision making aspect [4]. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to present a new methodology for measuring specific movement agility in badminton. Additionally, a second purpose of the research is to investigate if there were differences of agility performance (changes of direction speed and decision time) between pre-planned agility (sequence movement) test and specific movement agility (randomly movement) test using previously developed system i.e. Badminton Agility Training and Testing System. METHODS: Specifically, the agility performance of male players (n=40) when responding to interactive LED lights (Fig. 1) showing the direction shot (randomly) from opponent, was compared to a traditional, pre-planned agility movement where no external stimulus (sequence) was present. Subjects were randomly selected among students enrolled in badminton as their curriculum course. The test was conducted after they have completed 14 weeks of the course. The total change of direction speed of the players was the primary dependent measures of interest. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The results showed that significant differences existed between the two test conditions proving that the system was assessing different types of agility. The pre-planned agility (sequence) was found to be faster compared to the specific movement agility test (random) with significant difference (P < 0.05) between the mean results (25.63 + 1.94 s and 31.66 + 1.66 s). This difference was found to be caused by the presence of decision making (decision time) in the specific movement agility test [5]. CONCLUSION: Therefore, the results suggest that badminton-specific movement agility test system is a better measure of badminton specific agility performance than an equivalent non-specific pre-planned agility test since the nature of the game of badminton requires change of direction speed and decision making. Future research may include elite badminton players to further assess the device's capability.

Autism is a developmental disorder that has an effect on normal brain function, which affects the development of communication and social interaction skill. Autism is a lifelong disorder and usually appears before the age of three. Children with autism have a different learning style compared to other learners and they do not fit to the standard classroom. Children with autism usually need one-to-one instruction in order to be able to learn effectively. Roughly 37% of students with autism may meet the criteria of reading learning disabilities.

... There are very limited studies in the related literature on reactive agility in badminton. Similar to the current study, Frederick et al. (2014), investigated differences between preplanned change of direction and reactive agility test protocol developed for badminton players. They placed a total of six interactive sensor LEDs in the four corners and midpoint of the badminton play area, with a mat in the half area. ...

... Based on Frederick et al. (2014), Golds (2016), Khoi (2012), Son (2006), and many former studies about the footwork in badminton (Bin, 2015;Farrow et al., 2005, Brahms (2014, etc.), the 20-footwork-exercise to improve the physical fitness for female athlete at Saigon University were selected. These exercises were applied to the experimental group as follows: 1) Single jumping rope in 30 seconds performed 5 times x 3 groups, resting for 1 minute; ...

... The obvious characteristic of autism in early childhood is a lack of interest in social interaction in their first year (Paul and Kimberly, 2011). Additionally, during a study, such children did not show interest in conversing with others, frequently clapped their hands, had no eye contact when interacting, followed stringent daily routines and had 'a could not care the least' attitude about others' perceptions of them (Mislan et al., 2012;Frith, 2013). ...
